TrackerJack

Curent version - 2.0.0

What is TrackerJack?

Do you need to match move your footage for use in a 3D environent?

This is the fast and easy way to export After Effects 3d Camera tracked footage including cameras, nulls, and solids into Blender as tracked cameras with background footage, vector pointclouds, and planes. Including nulls and solids that have been animated in After Effects.

Why?

Blender is a fantastic tool with many powerful features for 3D. While it contains a versatile 3d Tracker, it can be very cumbersome and time consuming while Adobe After Effects has a very fast and easy to use 3d Camera Tracker. TrackerJack leverages the power and speed of After Effects, so you can spend most of your time in Blender with modeling, animating, and rendering.

How?

TrackerJack has 2 components -

• Adobe After Effects Panel to export the tracked data

• Blender Add-on to import the data into your Blender file.

1. Track your footage in After Effects.

2. Create nulls and solids as you desire to add details to your scene.

3. Add the Camera information to the TrackerJack Panel and export a JSON file with all of your tracked data.

4. Use the TrackerJack Import in Blender to automatically create a matched scene with:

   • All 3d camera details, animation, and background footage attached

   • Scene duration, Frame Rate, Color Settings

   • After Effects Null imports as either vertex or empty

   • After Effects Solid imports as Mesh Plane
