Please note that if you Lockdown, then UnLockdown a shot, you must press Lockdown on the same frame you had originally, or the graphics will not match. This undoes the Lockdown process, allowing you to refine tracking points. You must first make it not a guide layer, this video explains why: If you’re painting the layer, you should apply paint directly to the stabilized video layer inside the Lockdown Pre-comp. If you’re applying graphics, just drop graphics into the stabilized pre-comp. It duplicates your layer as a background layer. It places this composition in the Lockdown Graphics Comp slot to reference the texture. The stabilized layer is created as a non rendering guide layer. It creates a checkerboard for preview purposes. It creates a “Lockdown Graphics Composition” with a stabilized copy of your mesh inside, and a still frame of the frame you’ve chosen to stick graphics to. This button sets up a texture to apply to your mesh. Locking down your mesh and applying a texture (After Effects) (This is good because quads render better than triangles in 3D software) Select a point, then Ctrl-Shift-Click another point to connect the two with an edge.Īlt-shift-click and drag to draw a line which deletes all edges in its path.Īuto-Triangulate Mesh will triangulate all points can, but will NOT bisect any quads. The geometry on the left may deform better than the geometry on the right, especially when the mouth opens, or when imported into a 3D application. Sometimes it makes sense to draw your mesh manually, to conform to natural borders in your shot. This uses as much disk space as you allow, which is why it’s off by default. This will make it so after you’ve tracked a shot once, it maintain that tracking data, and track very quickly every time following. In short, just open the options menu, and enable the disk cache. The short summary is your RGB channels should be completely unaffected going into Lockdown, and your alpha channel needs to be below 50%.Ĭaching Track data (Make high res video track quickly) The two different interpolation types (tracking planar surfaces, or non-planar surfaces)Īnd please check out this video if you have any difficulty setting up the masks in Resolve. Tracking Offscreen Objects, and Expanding Your Mesh
it’s a hugely important concept, please see this video: Refinement is for when Adjustment isn’t enough, and you have to deal with a track that’s going in the completely wrong direction. Adjustment keyframes are an additional layer of animation that adds on top of your base track. When a point drifts away from it’s target, click and drag it to put it back in place. But again, ‘Extremely Accurate’ is probably a better solution than tinkering with Accurate 1.6.

Sometimes you may want to bump it up to 1080p because the Accurate 1.6 mode isn’t as good at working with low resolution video, and this might prevent points from skipping around. Some people assume tracking a 4k shot at 540p will reduce quality, and the vast majority of the time it will be a pixel perfect match against if you had run the process at 4k, because the secondary processing to pixel match is at 4k for both cases.The summary- track at 540p as often as possible. Lowering the ‘Tracking Target Resolution’ ONLY reduces the resolution of step 1. Tracking Target Resolution: There are two steps to tracking, one of which is tracking the general motion of the shot, the second is finding a pixel accurate match. At that point, you’re better off just using “Extremely Accurate”. Increasing Tracking Scale can slightly improve the results of Accurate 1.6 when objects are moving quickly, however you won’t get much better results above 25 pixels, except in extreme cases.

The script will pre-compose your layer and set everything inside the pre-comp to all the correct settings, and you can work with Lockdown in there. If you aren’t 100% sure how to set that up on your own, just press the Pre-compose button at the top of the plugin. The layer that Lockdown is applied to, and the Composition that layer is in, must have the same resolution and framerate for Lockdown to work. Pre-composing and setting up your footage/composition for tracking (After Effects) This feature will release with Lockdown 2.5. This is honestly the slowest and most boring tutorial I’ve ever made, but if you’re even slightly confused by the concept of what the “Lockdown frame” is, please watch it. The Lockdown frame is no longer set by the “Lockdown!” Button. It will create a green bar in the popout timeline.
To set the frame you’d like to paint or apply graphics to, press the “Set Lockdown Mesh/UV Frame” button.
