  Track ipad without tracking points

  Posted by Nils Karlsson on February 24, 2014 at 1:12 pm

  Here you see a scene I’m about to edit.

  I’m trying to replace greenscreenen on the ipad with a video. The problem is that I was stupid enough not to set any tracking points. What´s the best way to track this? I tried different trackingpointas but its hard to find any good ones on the pad och the hand. I’d rather not sit and do it by hand, which often gets ugly.

  As you can see, it is a movement sideways and upwards.

  Many thanks for your help
  Nils

  Have you tried tracking it with Mocha? It doesn’t require traditional points because it is a planar tracking tool. I have used it in the past to track similar items as the iPad.
