Posted by Damian Dunne on July 28, 2005 at 3:32 amhey there guys,
just a very quick question. What is the best plugin in for motion tracking / stabilization? Is the AE motion tracking the best?cheers

July 28, 2005 at 1:48 pmNot the best for now. Don’t know that there is a plug-in replacement. I, (and others I’ve seen) use Commotion for tracking and move the keyframes over to AE. Other good trackers are in Combustion, and Shake.
However, search the posts for the past month or so and someone created an expression that allows you to do two tracks in AE and average them giving a better result.

July 28, 2005 at 5:24 pmIf you want the expression for averaging here it is:
/expression begins
apArr = [_______,________,_______ ];
//Do NOT modify below this line
numOfStabilizers = 0;
x = 0;
y = 0;for(i = 0; i <= apArr.length - 1; i++) { numOfStabilizers++; x += apArr[i][0]; y += apArr[i][1]; } [x,y]/numOfStabilizers //end just hightlight the _____ things and pick whip to your trackers

July 28, 2005 at 11:55 pmThanx for that Chirs. Though I am a little unclear as to what you put into the
apArr = [_______,________,_______ ];
part of the script.cheers

July 29, 2005 at 3:05 amjust highlight the ___’s and pick whip to the attatch point of each of the trackers. THe expression will do the rest for you. Sorry for the double post I think I somehow hit the submit button twice or something i dunno…
