Depends on the camera being used. Drone recorded footage is VERY shaky, unless stabilized via a camera rig, not a post process. If a GoPro or CMOS chip camera is used, then rolling shutter becomes a huge issue. Given how intense a drone shakes, you can end up with a very warbled image that makes proper 3D tracking impossible. It's like tracking a funhouse mirror, no object is a reliable track point due to the constant rolling shutter warping. Clean stable image = clean post work.

Helle people,

I will start a exciting motion tracking assignment in a week.

The footage will be shot by a Drone. We will film a large open field where
there eventually be 3D buildings.

So some motion tracking and some 3D work.

Would the 3D camera tracker inside of AE be sufficient or should I try an other one?

And do I need tracker markers on the field?

I am new at this and every tip is very welcome.

Cheers,
Anthony
