2D Tracking and Compositing in Blender

For a compositor, tracking is one of the most fundamental skills you can have. Everything depends on it, from rotoscoping and adding in simple things like lens flares, to more complex things like removing objects from a scene and advanced corner pinning. In this series, we’re going to explore how you can use tracking, not as a 3D artist, but as a 2D compositor in Blender. We’ll go through the different types of tracks and, using a variety of different examples, demonstrate how these techniques could be used in a real world scenario. A working knowledge of Blender’s 3D functions is expected for this series.
