Compositing CG elements into your footage can make for some spectacular videos. But how on earth would you do that if you're working across 2 separate programs?
This is where AE2Blend comes in. This add-on allows you to take the 3D camera data from After Effects, and import it directly into your scene in Blender. Along with any nulls or solids you've created.
Within this step-by-step guide, I'll show you exactly what steps you need to take to achieve this. Then finally, I'll explain how to export you new camera, along with any empties from Blender, back into After Effects!

If you are still having issues with the camera not lining up properly, try changing the Camera "Sensor Fit" from "Auto" to "Horizontal" or "Vertical" :)

@bebaloop Год назад

THIS IS SOOOOO IMPORTANT! thank you

@JephAraujo 8 месяцев назад

Horizontal did the trick. Thank you so much!

@loneybum 2 года назад

Great job and it helps so much when you put in the time to really help others, also that break at 4:33 was real on so many levels.

@nicksalve 3 года назад

This! Yes! Thank you so much for making this. I've been searching forever for an end-to-end, after effects and blender workflow. You are my hero. I love you.

@TheBohrokMan 3 года назад

This is exactly the video I needed! Also thanks for throwing in all those tips like focal length matching, starting frame being 1, etc. I never would have figured out the trick of transforming the coordinates in Blender. Thanks for the great tutorial!

@Bruets 3 года назад

Not problem at all man, thank you for the kind words really appreciate it :)

@bhosterman 2 года назад

The recap is so useful! I wish more people did this.

@imzbugni 2 года назад

Even though the plugin doesn’t work for AE22, it’s nice to see people acknowledging this as a worthwhile project! I felt like I was going crazy because I could never get Blender’s tracking to work right, even with tons of manual correction. AE on the other hand pretty much always gets it right in one click.

@JordanAnimations3D 3 года назад

Thanks for this, found it in my recommended and it’s what I’ve needed

@jordanhwang 3 года назад

WOW thank you so much for creating this! I've had a lot of issues with the AE2Blend plug in the past and gave up on it. I'll give it another go with your tips!

@Bruets 3 года назад

No problem! Let me know how you get on :)

@jordanhwang 3 года назад

I finally got to trying it out. I realized my issue was that I didn't copy the camera settings from AE to Blender. Once I did that, the track worked perfectly! @Bruets have there been any situations when this method didn't work for you and you had to use the Blender tracker?

@Bruets 3 года назад

@@jordanhwang That’s great news man, thanks for letting me know :) I’ve found the plug-in works well on static objects but not so well on moving ones. Then I’ll resort to blenders tracker, however I’ll usually plan my shot so I have some kind of track points in the video to use as this makes tracking SO much easier!

@mikealbert728 3 года назад

Good job. I like to convert the video to an image sequence first. Works better for me and you won't have to worry about frame rates also.

@Bruets 3 года назад

This is very true! Thank you :)

@BitterSweetUniverse 3 года назад

If you're having trouble with your empties not being the right size once brought back into AE (around 12:00 on the tut), copy your original focal range and paste it on the camera from blender. It scale it right up!

@Plaayaa69 3 года назад

amazing

@mrJv2k7 2 года назад

at 12:35: you don't need to copy the keyframes just to get the PRS (pos, rot, scale) from the first keyframe... just hold shift while parenting with the pick-whip, and the child will snap to the new parent's PRS

@kasialovska1206 Год назад

Amazing tutorial! Quick question. Is it possible to stay in blender after tracking, and to make render in blender with visible background video?

@darkgamer_004 2 года назад

Exactly what I needed. And where can i get the intro song please?

@jcnwillemsen 3 года назад

Ok i've been experimenting and stuggeling as many I believe to get i right. I had an idea that really improves my results: Render the start frame with some solids in after effects, and use that as ref. for adjusting focal lenght and sensor size in blender: So the workflow is: 1. cam tracking in AE, set ground and origin creat 3d cam, and a few solids. 2. Render this frame in AE for later use 3. Copy cam data to blender with the plugin 4. Copy solids 5. Adjust starting position of the cam key frames in blender 6. use the single AE render as background image in your animated blender cam ( set it to the back) 7. If all is good you now see you solids in blender if you view to the cam. but also the solids from the AE render 8: Only 2 parameters I tweak is the sensor size and focal lenght, in a way that they blender solids match up with the background 9. Done 10. Send a box with dog stools to adobe for not making a simple exporter...

You are underrated

@0123shaka 3 года назад

This video is astonishing, really thanks for that!!! I'm starting with blender and about the suzanne, what kind of preparations of his texture have you used and how you get there? Thanks!!!

@Bruets 3 года назад

Well this was just an example scene, so I only used the principled BSDF. I set the transmission to 1 and roughness to 0. Then just selected a red colour 🙂 It’s basic but works for this demonstration.

@valdoltra 8 месяцев назад

I was waiting to see the steps you took to rotoscope your friend out of it. Any tutorials on that too?

@emimeemio 2 года назад

Nice video! Does this plugin work with 2.93.6 and 3.0b?

@rolasara679 2 года назад

fireeee

@chudmoofin 2 года назад

Hey man! Super helpful video. I have on question that I haven't been able to find an answer for anywhere. Do you know what value you have to copy from AE to generate a point cloud? I assumed it would be in the 3d tracker on my footage in AE, but I can't find anything to copy.

@jock4803 11 месяцев назад

Hey dude I also need this! did you find the answer?

@lb2571 11 месяцев назад

Thank for your tutorial. but if i want export my 3d model from blender to element 3d in AE. this model is animated in blender. then how i can match moving of this model in E3D like in blender?

@paulhyde7126 Год назад

thanks for an awesome tutorial! Im having problems when bringing the elements into Blender, it doesnt seem to match up very well. I'm following the steps, but the footage and planes created in AE goes all over the shop when i copy them into blender. Like wiggling a lot and moving where they shouldnt. ppppffff this shit is killing me to understand!

@ZaferTuran 10 месяцев назад

fisrt thanks for the tutorial. and at 13:34 how did you get front the actor and suzanne back?

@MertBert 24 дня назад

If you added the same flame element in Blender and set it to only show in reflections, you'd get some nice extra firery reflections ;)

@NiclasLinden 2 года назад

It is 2021, and it is STILL this fu... complicated!? I will not even bother trying this. 😄

@AlexisRivera3D 2 года назад

*Subscribed. I was wondering why my camera on Blender didn't match and even the plane was shaking, the reason was the first frame delayed to zero, also I didn't know about to set plane and origin before exporting to Blender, nice video it's really helpful*

@Bruets 2 года назад

Thank you man :) You’re welcome!

@grantandkim 3 года назад

That was awesome. How did you get the blender Suzanne behind the actor?. Did you use Rotobrush 2?

@Bruets 3 года назад

Unfortunately Rotobrush 2 wasn't released when i did the roto on this project. So i used mocha ae, isolated each limb individually and masked it out that way. I'm sure rotobrush 2 would of done a much better job and would be much faster too :)

@DefiableRealities Год назад

the after effects tracking i did is perfect and i see nothing wrong with it. the plane is stuck on the ground like its supposed to be, but whenever i import it into blender my camera is either off into the distance or anything it keeps moving too far down and up during the animation. the camera animation looked fine but when i put an object close to it i can see its moving to far
