The more videocopilot plug-ins the more happiness spread around the world :D This is already beyond my imagination, I can't wait to see what the future Vfx would become.
What is LiveCam Andrew? Upcoming plug-in? :P its around 9:50 we see it in the effects. Can't wait until I buy Element later in the week. It is going to help me alot!
Its very similar to the one in AE CS6 you hit track features, it will track a bunch of points. You hit solve camera and then once it has solved you right click on one of the points and you can create a null tracked to the point you chose
Hi Andrew, I can't to align the null object as you say, probabily the null are about 3 miles out my computer and I can't find it. Other question is: why the solid is perfect stable while 3D element move herself like a demon?
I have a Problem. Everything is perfectly tracked. The Solid and the null-objects are not moving and they all stay perfectly where they should, but when I start with element 3d it is mooving in z-position all the time. I Have no idea how to fix it. It worked perfectly with other footage but with my new one it won't work. Does anyone has an idea what the reason for this could be?
Kamehameha Nudel try dropping down the "group utilities" menu in your object group. drop down "create null group", and click the create button. then copy the info from each null to the corresponding group null and it should hold its position. after that, just adjust the object to the proper placement. i know i'm late, but i just found it out like 10 minutes before i typed this.
uhhh...i don't remember everything, it's been a while since i messed with this project. if i'm not mistaken, you can copy the keyframes from your null (in the timeline), then paste them onto the group null, which you'll find the menu for in the E3D effect control window. you have to scroll down some to find it. i can't remember where i found the solution, but i'll try to help out a little more when i get out of class later tonight.
I prefer Maya over both of these programs. I would recommend 3ds Max over c4d tho. there are so many more tutorials and assets for 3ds max and maya than c4d which help you get started
I was going to proclaim, "Ahh.. the bat man auto mobile compositing video originated from this video.." XD Damn, i still got so much to learn.. Why 3 nulls? I thought one was more than sufficient. 3 may affect each other..?
My god, ALL that just to make a 3D object in Element cast realitic shadows!? I'm sure you're doing it as I speak, ....but can you guys please make sure the next version does that automatically ;) Other than that....seamless as always
If u are a student u can get 3ds max for free i think. Btw Cinema 4d is for motion grafik. But also good for other things. I tested both Programms and Cinema 4d is more simple for my uses.
Muy bueno el video. He probado grabando una mesa y girando con la camara alrededor de ella. Despues hago lo que dice el video con camera tracker 3d y al poner un elemento no me sale el tracking igual. El objero al desplazarlo en Z se mueve mal.
motion tracking doesn't work for every type of clip, by the way make sure that what your tracking is really easy to find the X,Y,Z. cause if its a really bad clip that doesn't look very real, the 3D camera tracker will not be able to give you the results that you want.
PLEASE. After i add my Ambient light, when i add Parallels or something it doesn't get effected at all, literally nothing to get some nice shading. PLEASE someone give me an idea....
I can't for the life of me get my Elememt 3D objects to sit on the ground plane. I followed step by step by when I use my own footage there is always a little bit of "float" to the objects. When I apply a simple null and text layer to my target, everything is fine and the track is spot on so I know its not the track. Anybody have some insight?
well thanks i know maya is much better as i am a user of it too but the modifiers and the ease of use in 3ds max is what attracts me to it and i hate cinema 4d because its user interface is very bad but if u know it u cud make some good motion graphics in it. btw thx for giving me the information
well 4d is more for logos and video games at least in my opinion. 3ds max is a little more realistic but maya is the most. it's what the hollywood vfx guys use but its sort of cluttered. the bottom line is do whatever is easiest for you to understand and you can do great things with all of them
Hey Andrew I recently bought element and am getting my very frustrated because I can not get anything to render everything I try whenever I press ok it shows nothing,just a black screen I am kind of sad because I spent a lot of money on element and it doesn't function correctly for me
Can u make a tutorial of making complex 3d OBJECT with after effect using Layers and Masks ( like 3d logos ... ) and add cool colors to it ( Morphing .. )
I LIKE IT..!! I LIKE IT..!!I LIKE IT..!!I LIKE IT..!!I LIKE IT..!!I LIKE IT..!!I LIKE IT..!!I LIKE IT..!!I LIKE I LIKE IT..!!

I have a PC, I core 5, with 8Gb of RAM, and I'm buing a GEFORCE GTX 970 2gb. Please, anyone, do you think with this would be possible to make videos with Element 3D and Jet Strike? Thanks so much!
You are incredible... Without your tuts world would not exist on the level it is now! Thank you very much again!
It took me two days to assimilate all this, but in just this video, I learned enough to create realistic 3-D stuff with no prior knowledge. Amazing!
This is practically the best video on TH-cam at this point
I love you Andrew. No homo. Honestly though, seeing a craftsman at work is extremely pleasant, and Element 3D is pure awesome.
AAAAAH, this is the truck from person of interest, the episode with the value transport!!
Thanks so much for your support. Video Copilot ROCKS!!!
Total Respect. Even in 2021.
The more videocopilot plug-ins the more happiness spread around the world :D
This is already beyond my imagination, I can't wait to see what the future Vfx would become.
After effects would be nothing without Element 3d :) Andrew Kramer and VC is simply AWESOME
THANK YOU!!! i was going crazy, cause other tutorials they have some bottons in E3D that i dont have, you did everything i needed
Element 3D and native after effects matchmoving....in 2012....
feel old yet?
actually didn't know about the null scaling and repositioning the track data. thanks alot
did you find that useful?...if so please explain
Andrew Kramer just raised something beyond ideas, he created concepts!
I see all your video and learn AE step by step, you are really good.
still amazing in 2022 :) Thx master!
What is LiveCam Andrew? Upcoming plug-in? :P its around 9:50 we see it in the effects. Can't wait until I buy Element later in the week. It is going to help me alot!
Your are the best Andrew.
wowowowowowow that camera tracker thingy wow !! thank you man love ya
Its very similar to the one in AE CS6 you hit track features, it will track a bunch of points. You hit solve camera and then once it has solved you right click on one of the points and you can create a null tracked to the point you chose
excellent i dont need fusion and 3d max to do this effect.....element 3d is there....loving this plugin
Beautiful lesson and very difficult
Andrew, you are an AE god!
8 yrs later, still relevant
Hi Andrew, I can't to align the null object as you say, probabily the null are about 3 miles out my computer and I can't find it. Other question is: why the solid is perfect stable while 3D element move herself like a demon?
Amazing tutorial, love it.
Did you use additional graphics card?
My Element 3d is Very Slowdown What shall I do?
when I parent link to null they are all in middle itself ??
Picked up some great tips in this, thanks:)
Adobe and VC are awesome.
try going through you track and delete any points that might be throwing the track....also creating the null objects might help...
thanks a lot , I have to learn soon.
I can't seem to matchmove the Element 3D with Foundry's Camera tracker. Is it the same process as with the AE 3D Camera tracker?
Awesome Man! Can we do character animation through element 3D just like we do in Maya or 3ds Max???
I love you and everything you do
really really good man! you are awesome! and thank you! we will learn it! haha

+deluise krueger the truck still moving in Z space.. :( and how do u copy the info from each null to the grop null?
uhhh...i don't remember everything, it's been a while since i messed with this project. if i'm not mistaken, you can copy the keyframes from your null (in the timeline), then paste them onto the group null, which you'll find the menu for in the E3D effect control window. you have to scroll down some to find it. i can't remember where i found the solution, but i'll try to help out a little more when i get out of class later tonight.
Great video
This is what I brought Element for :)
Thanks
"You don't want to park in that spot, obviously." lmfao
hey i just have one question-
which is better 3ds max or cinema 4d irrespective of there cost?
I prefer Maya over both of these programs. I would recommend 3ds Max over c4d tho. there are so many more tutorials and assets for 3ds max and maya than c4d which help you get started
New video copilot plugin LiveCam! I can just imagine us saying: "And we thought that Element 3D was amazing.." when it comes out.
Thanks I just bought element! Do you pick whip all the nulls to the parent null?
The best!!!! Thanks a lot!! Thanks thanks thanks!!!
Learned alot Thanks
when i'm turning on motion blur it gets messed up, please tell me what should i do
you are my hero!!!!!
you are too awesome!! But what was that LiveCam thing? :)
Awesome!!!
does you like it? by any chance? can't quite tell.
awesome plugin
hey my car model isnt fixed and looks as if its sliding, what should i do?
14:00 made me laugh my ass off AMAIZING TOTURIAL I have been lokkin for this... andrew does it again! Thank YOUUU!!!!!
I love your voice
Mine objects seems to always float in the air
Very very nice. Thank you. :)
Well its here now .
in an update i hear you should look into being able to use .dds files, would be great
Еще не смотрел туториал, но вроде как просто симуляция 3Д трекинга. Да, используется плагин Element 3D.
I was going to proclaim, "Ahh.. the bat man auto mobile compositing video originated from this video.." XD Damn, i still got so much to learn.. Why 3 nulls? I thought one was more than sufficient. 3 may affect each other..?
why does my solid (3d element) not stick to my 3 points chosen after tracking my footage. The object moves off the screen
Where can you get this truck model? It looks pretty good.
may I have it as well? I really need a good car model and don't have the money
HEy man, look for a website called "free3dmodels.com"..
My god, ALL that just to make a 3D object in Element cast realitic shadows!? I'm sure you're doing it as I speak, ....but can you guys please make sure the next version does that automatically ;) Other than that....seamless as always
Tell me the name of program
If u are a student u can get 3ds max for free i think. Btw Cinema 4d is for motion grafik. But also good for other things. I tested both Programms and Cinema 4d is more simple for my uses.

thanks for this :-)
merci pour ce tuto :-)
At 7:57 I didn't understand why you rotated them in order to get them in line,
Cant you just manually drag and drop them in line?
PLEASE. After i add my Ambient light, when i add Parallels or something it doesn't get effected at all, literally nothing to get some nice shading. PLEASE someone give me an idea....
I have had element 3d for a year now and it hasn't worked with comp lights at all.
I can't for the life of me get my Elememt 3D objects to sit on the ground plane. I followed step by step by when I use my own footage there is always a little bit of "float" to the objects.

btw thx for giving me the information
How is it that you don't work for Marvels VFX department?
I don't understand... When I select my model and hit O.K, the object does not apear in my scene :/ Help !
create a new solid then apply element to solid then pick element
Don't forget to create a camera!
HOW DO YOU place more then 1 model in the scene?
I tried with the original video but still my nulls jump around and nothing works as in the tutorial! Very frustrating!!
Will it work if i buy it?
When I matte shadow my plane it justs appears black instead of invisible. Please help?
Hi can element 3d make a cars;planes and trains for games like 3dsmax
well 4d is more for logos and video games at least in my opinion. 3ds max is a little more realistic but maya is the most. it's what the hollywood vfx guys use but its sort of cluttered. the bottom line is do whatever is easiest for you to understand and you can do great things with all of them
Hey Andrew I recently bought element and am getting my very frustrated because I can not get anything to render everything I try whenever I press ok it shows nothing,just a black screen I am kind of sad because I spent a lot of money on element and it doesn't function correctly for me
+Kennrox Plays maybe if press ctrll A and then ctrl M so it selects everything and then goes to render setting
I think its beacue there is no light or texture.
This is in AE CC or AE CS6 ?
nice!
the darts arent shown in my footage when I tracked the camera :/ what could I have done wrong?
you need to select your 3d camera tracker on your footage in the effects panel
all i need to know is where to find a good helicopter with reflections and a spinning rotor. Can anyone please help me?
Can u make a tutorial of making complex 3d OBJECT with after effect using Layers and Masks ( like 3d logos ... ) and add cool colors to it ( Morphing .. )
