In this video I use some 'tricky' footage to camera track and matchmove using Blender. Then I send that tracking data to Unreal Engine to build a 3D scene.

The footage is tricky because it was not captured with vfx in mind. The shutter was only set at 1/50 meaning the footage has some motion blur, the movement is a bit shaky and also there are no useful tracking points in the footage either,. All of this makes it difficult for the tracking software in Blender to find good track points.

I originally tried tracking the shot in After Effects which gave a pixel error of 1.50. This is generally too high for any matchmove with the better results being less tha 1 and the best under 0.5. This is my attempt at getting a better result as Blender gives more control.

Once the tracking is done I bring the data to Unreal Engine and show how to set up the camera and footage so it sits nicely in the 3D space.
