Element 3d and live footage
I’ve seen many Element 3D tutorials showing how to insert the Element 3d objects into footage; adding the element to appear inside a movie layer. But I haven’t seen one about attaching live footage to an Element 3d layer.
For instance, I imported a 3d object of a star cruiser. I animate the cruiser though the scene using the Element 3d animate position keyframing “xy position” and “z position.”
I have green screen footage of an actor the I want to put in the cockpit and stay attached to the star cruiser. Tried camera tracker on the Element layer and a null that I parent both to, but it doesn’t work. Do the “xy position” and “z position” map to any position properties of a standard layer?
I also downloaded a 3d model of an ancient city; with the object broken down into hallways, parapets, etc. I have green screen footage of two actors I want to add to the model walking down a hall and then walking up some stairs.
Can’t figure out how to do either.
Any insight would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,

This tutorial might be helpful. He explains how to place green screen footage into a 3D scene as a 2D layer. Sort of the same concept as adding footage to your spaceship.
