Motion Tracking & Object Tracking inside Cinema 4D: Principles Behind Motion Tracking
I am a firm believer, that anyone using technology to do their job, needs to know a bit about the technology they are using, at least to a certain point. I am a firm believer, that anyone using technology to do their job, needs to know a bit about the technology they are using, at least to a certain point. Besides the encyclopedic value of this knowledge, there’s always a case where it could help with troubleshooting, and at the same time, curb expectations to a sensible level. |

Motion Tracking & Object Tracking inside Cinema 4D: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Trackers
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Trackers The ideal shape for our 2D tracking algorithm would be a square noise pattern that doesn’t change size, orientation, or perspective. Unfortunately, because you won’t find these ideal trackers anywhere, this video will show you what good and bad trackers are. |

Motion Tracking & Object Tracking inside Cinema 4D: Tracking the main shot Camera Tracking and Scene
In this video, we will Track our main shot’s Camera motion, assisted by the Focal Length we calculated in the Survey Shot. In this video, we will Track our main shot’s Camera motion, assisted by the Focal Length we calculated in the Survey Shot, in the previous video. Please make sure you check out the previous Video if you haven’t done so Already, and refer to the video named “The Project Footage” to see where to download the relevant footage. |

Motion Tracking & Object Tracking inside Cinema 4D: Can we track without using a Survey Shot?
Can we track without using a Survey Shot? With the help of the Focal Length we extracted from the Survey Shot, we were able to track the Camera very easily, and rather successfully. Because some of you may not be convinced about the usefulness of the Survey Shot, as it requires a bit more effort, let’s quickly take a look at what would’ve happened, had we NOT used the Focal Length from the Survey Shot. |

Motion Tracking & Object Tracking inside Cinema 4D: The Motion Tracker Graph View
Learn about one of the very helpful Interface elements we have in our Motion Tracking Arsenal One of the very helpful Interface elements we have in our Motion Tracking Arsenal, is the “Motion Tracker Graph”. This is a Dope Sheet of all trackers, automatic and manual, and can assist us with “cleaning up” our 2D solve, and manual tracking. |

Motion Tracking & Object Tracking inside Cinema 4D: Guide to Manual / Supervised Tracking
In this video, we’ll take a look at how to create, track and supervise the manual trackers. In order to achieve a good solve, or to track an object, you need to “take matters into your own hands”. This is called “Manual” tracking (or Supervised Tracking). In this video, we’ll take a look at how to create, track and supervise the manual trackers. |

Motion Tracking & Object Tracking inside Cinema 4D: Tracking a difficult feature of the object
Learn how to track a difficult feature of an object. This video is quite long. It’s just over 13 minutes long to be precise. I would advise you watch it regardless, as it shows the process of manually tracking a challenging feature of the Object. If you can handle this one, you will definitely be able to handle any manual track. Please make sure you watch the next video as well, as they complement each other, and will overall, give you a good idea of the manual tracking process. |

Motion Tracking & Object Tracking inside Cinema 4D: Solving and Calibrating the Object
Once the Manual tracking is complete, and all the requirements are met, it’s time to Solve and Calibrate our 3D Object Track. Once the Manual tracking is complete, and all the requirements are met, it’s time to Solve and Calibrate our 3D Object Track. Always remember, that you need 7 very good tracks to successfully solve an Object, but it’s better to have a few more, for safety. |

Motion Tracking & Object Tracking inside Cinema 4D: Trimming Tracks
Trimming, is a way to tell the Tracking algorithm to ignore a tracker for a specific number of frames, rather than risking the tracker “picking up” a random pattern by mistake. Trimming, is a way to tell the Tracking algorithm to ignore a tracker for a specific number of frames, rather than risking the tracker “picking up” a random pattern by mistake. Let’s see how this is done. |

Motion Tracking & Object Tracking inside Cinema 4D: Limitations - Troubleshooting Volume 1
Trimming, is a way to tell the Tracking algorithm to ignore a tracker for a specific number of frames, rather than risking the tracker “picking up” a random pattern by mistake. Let’s take a look at a some of the motion tracker’s idiosyncrasies you need to be aware of, to save you from unwanted surprises. Some of the following have already been covered in other videos, but it’s good to have a “centralized repository of annoying things”, as I like to call it. |
