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

- 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.
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.
WE LOVE YOU JOE 👏
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.
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.
I was struggling with a project and after hours looking for an answer I found this video and in a matter of minutes boom done and sent. Thank you sooooooo much
The BEST tutorial about camera tracker EVER! Thank you so much! life saver!
Maybe the most valuable AE tutorial on the net. Cheers Hashi and Joe!
I like this. Now I don't have to look up the aqua man tutorial everytime I track something in 3D. Thank you!
jajajaja cierto ya he visto ese tutorial de acuaman uno y dos muchas muchas veces!
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 CZcams! Thanks a lot, Hashi! I'll try the free tool too! ^^
That was thing we needed most..
Thanks Hashi, and thanks Joe. If any of my clients ever get back after covid I'll be sure to spread the financial love in your directions!
Saying Hi from Hong Kong, and this tutorial really helps a lot! Thanks~
I never knew how much I needed this until now
KASHI!!! I was SO SICK of doing this manually. At times I'd ask myself if it was worth it lol. This is fantastic. Thanks, Joe!
Funny, I actually typed "Thanks Joe" before getting to the end of the video lol
You are just a Life saver,
Thanks a lot 🖤
such a great teacher, and thank you, joe!
i like tutlez lol.. love it.. and yes.. a fine teacher
This channel is really the best... I have all their plug ins and I'm from South Africa🔥🔥🔥💯💯
Thank you so much guys and thank you Joe from Workbench!
WOW! Thanks Joe!
You're welcome!
Thanks Joe!
You're welcome!
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!
damn this is so helpful. Before i was doing Andrew Kramer technique that he did a truck comp in AE in that he define a simple trick. But this one is truly best
10,000 of the views are mine alone
the most useful tutorial
Thanks, Joe!
You're welcome!
Big thanks to him and you 💚
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.
Thank Joe. This is long overdue.
Shoutout Workbench 🤙
🤙🏽
Now my day is completed
Thanks Joe & Giant
What a hero
Actually Joe is a after affects beast we just use it as but Joe tear apart are and geek the heck out of it
Haha, thanks!
Thank you for this gift!
MUCH NEEDED SCRIPT!
Thank you. You deserve my subscription.
Extremely helpful!
Nice work 🌹
MUCH needed!! Thanks, guys!
👍🏽
This is what we want👌🥰
Just great, thanks Joe & Action Movie Dad!
Thank you so much for the script and sharing it!!!... Greetings!!!
Thnks red giant and joe for this video promotion..i have download it,its help my work
This should be part of the product. Just sayin. Good stuff. Simplifies and saves so much time. Thanks.
Great! Thanks for sharing this info! Super useful. Now I have some VFX to do at home!
Nice tutorial Thanks!
Thank you so much
You should add a link to their site in the description guys
VideoCopilot did a tutorial on this years ago and made a script as well. Forgot the name. This is mandatory in tracked scenes.
your the best
You save so many lifes.
Lol that workbench shout out
😂
It kinda distracted me for a sec not gonna lie
Things keeps getting interesting on the channel. Best Sub I ever gave awesome 👏
Awesome, I recently did a project for which i had difficulty with the exact same thing, thanks a ton.
Dude, that was amazing! Thank you!!!
i think that back in 2013 Mathias Mohl (MAMOWORLD) made a tool called ORIENT WORLD which had some serious features for scaling, translation and rotation of coordinates system with 0% effort.
This is amazing! Thank you so much! I'm gonna download it immediately!
best script during quarantine 😀😍
It's like Christmas... but in June. Thank you.
Simply awesome bro!
✨👌😱🤩😱👍✨

Amazing.
trhanks joe!
I recommend Reallusion's IClone for mixing 3D-2D effects.
This is amazing. Thank you!
Wow this is what I was looking for
Great tutorial thank you very much
Hey man, sure appreciate this!
Thank you.
thanks you guys are amazing~
This will likely be a life saver for me.. Camera tracking results are soooooo hit or miss that I am rarely confident I did it correctly.
Q: Why does the Z axis of the generated ground plane point upwards, when up is direction of the Y axis? After the normalization process, the each axis is corrected! This baffles me.
It's just that the ground plane is effectively rotated 90 degrees so its Z points up. All other layers would default to their Z pointing forward.
@@theActionMovieKid Thanks for the reply, Hashi. I'm just baffled why the ground plane axis' are wrong when first generated. As the Y axis is generally considered going up/down in 3D space, shouldn't it default to this when the ground plane is generated?
Whatever the case, this script will save me a lot of headaches, so thanks very much for sharing it!
thank you so very much
VERY HELPFUL. THANKS
Thanks joe
You're welcome!
This is too useful
We use it a bunch in our work too!
@@MaxonRedgiant yuh
@@MaxonRedgiant healthiest way to 3d track tbh
Big sexy brain. 😂 Great informative video. Pretty straightforward but you took the time to explain it. Nicely done....and thanks Joe! 😄
Its amazing!!! Thank you a lot!!!
*it diffirent if a choose between "ground" or "plane" and "wall" of the name of Ground Plane? Thanks sir*
Just WOW
very helpful! thank you
Thank you sir
Thanks
Holy hell, I’m gonna raccoooom
Awesome mane 💯
Shouldn't Y be pointed up, and Z pointed into the distance?? Unless you want to be looking down on the table? I'd think you'd want to normalize with the normal world (ie, up into the sky and down towards the ground is the Y axis, Z is forward and backward)
I think I can answer my own question - it's because the ground plane is lying flat on the ground, so its Y axis is tilted 90° forward on the X axis. Other objects added to its space will be Y axis up.
