VFX SIDE QUEST | 3D Normalization in After Effects + Free Script!

- In this video, Hashi walks you through his 3D normalization process - and then he introduces you to... Normalize Track - a New Free Tool for Fast Simple 3d Normalization!
Yup, you read that right. FREE.
If you’ve watched any of Hashi’s Cheap Tricks tutorials for Red Giant, you've probably seen him “normalize” a 3D composition, right after camera tracking. It’s a necessary multi-step process for taking the random 3D coordinate results generated by the After Effects camera tracker and turning them into something useful for adding motion graphics or VFX to your footage. Since it’s so essential and is often missed, Hashi has put it all together in this short tutorial!
We asked our friend Joe from workbench.tv if there was a way to bottle up Hashi’s process and make it automated. And while there’s no actual bottle, he did create a script that gives you a dockable After Effects panel with just a few buttons to make the 3D normalization process simple and easy. Plus, it has a few extra tricks that we know you will love.

I promise this is one of the best tips you can follow if you do any camera tracking in AE. Joe at Workbench is a superstar for making it more painless for free. Big props.
As are you for making the process! I am so stoked to have been a part of this! Thanks!
Hey Hashi! How can you do something similar without having a ground? If my footage only has walls and no ground to choose "set ground plane"
@@dossantos_films - Good question - in this case I'd do the manual version of this process, but use the desired "Wall" solid as the base, eventually parent everything to it and set it's location to [960,540,0] but set the orientation to [0,0,0]. It'll make it so flat to the main "wall" is the center of comp. Lemme know if that made sense.
Also I was able to quickly hack the script into a wall version - bit.ly/XYZWall - @Workbench I'll ask how complicated it'd be to add another button that was a Wall Solver.
@@theActionMovieKid this is gold! Thank you so much.
The BEST tutorial about camera tracker EVER! Thank you so much! life saver!
Big shout out to Hashi for saving me so many headaches with this. I've repeatedly watched this to get this technique in my big, dumb head.
Very cool...but does anyone else think this is something that should be built in to After Effects? Camera tracking in AE has been around for like 10 years. Adobe never fixes shit in AE. We have wait for some some slick script like this to come along.
Joshua Perlson, PREACH bruh...
Adobe is one of the worst creative companies EVER! They have literally, '0' interest in actually improving their software. They are the worst, for real
Drinner D and what really sucks is that people love AE without ever thinking about just how shitty the software really is. There’s no other piece of software out there that’s so propped up on scripts, plugins and extensions to fix all the problems it has and fill in all the holes it has. If there was legitimate competition for After Effects, I’d jump ship in a heartbeat. And I’ve been using AE professionally since 2003.
@@JoshuaPerlson2010 I'm not going to argue with you on that. I do love AE, but I totally get what you are saying. It is really shameful and embarrassing that Adobe is so lazy and so hungry for quick cash grabs all the time that they have lost any interest in making sure that their software even works properly... and if that isn't true, then they need to do some serious damage control because it certainly appears that way. AE is one of the best that they have and they clearly are content leaving so many of it's features and effects in shambles.
As far as "legitimate competition" goes, wouldn't Blackmagic's FUSION be a solution? I've never had the time to invest in making the jump but it definitely seems like it far surpasses AE's capabilities and is far more stable. The main reason I stay with AE is because I have failed to find the time to explore other options and I am in love with Video Copilot's Element 3D plugin. it's a fantastic solution for quick 3D animation turnovers and is a lot more accessible as far as compositing goes. Though, if it weren't for Element and for all the geniuses who script and create amazing plugins for AE, I would be forced to jump to something else.
I've been using this 3D normalization process since you taught us in the Aquaman video and it was one of the best tip I found on TH-cam! Thanks a lot, Hashi! I'll try the free tool too! ^^
Maybe the most valuable AE tutorial on the net. Cheers Hashi and Joe!
I never knew how much I needed this until now
This and Lens Distortion just made my workflow much more efficient!
A lens distortion script or the inbuilt LD effect?
I guess you refer to Red Giant’s new Lens Distortion plugin for After Effects ?
Now i wanna know what you mean! :D
@@Gasconauxolives Ça doit être ça en tous cas.
wow man this is so helpful. i just started one week ago with motion design and i had a lot of troubles with the 3d tracker. this helps me so much to increase my knowledge. love you!
Great Tutorial!! thanks! AUTO SUBSCRIBE!
Thank you so much! This is extremely helpful! You just allowed me to fix something in a shot I've been working on inconsistently for 3 years. Gone are the perspective issues and the scale variance.
