Autodesk Composite and Motion Tracker

[Rodney]

Of possible interest...

 

As of April of this year Autodesk released Toxik (now named Composite) and MatchMover which runs on Linux, Mac and Windows 64bit for free.

 

Composite is a node based video/image compositor.

As the UI isn't exactly intuitive I highly recommend reviewing all available videos and tutorials BEFORE diving in.

The learning curve is a bit steep and the UI doesn't always react in accordance with the tutorials.

 

Aside: I'm not aware of any way to access the custom channels created for the EXR format but that doesn't mean it can't be done.

Accessing standard RGBA channels is straightforward enough.

 

MatchMover is a 2D/3D tracker for image sequences.

Various export formats are available but I didn't see any directly compatible with A:M.

If you use A:M with other products you are probably already aware of this program.

The autotracking feature appears to work quite well.

 

Both products are no longer upgraded nor supported.

You do need a login at Autodesk Exchange in order to download these and other programs.

These may be of interest especially to those that don't have access to tracking and compositing programs.

Perhaps a spreadsheet could do the conversion?

Given the variety of formats that can be exported I would guess there are conversions tools out there already.

I haven't done much motion tracking so am not familiar with what is available.
