CameraTracker allows you to pull 3D motion tracks and match camera moves without leaving After Effects, and offers greater control over complex tasks compared to Adobe’s built-in tracker. Learn how to use this advanced plugin to track and solve basic shots, refine a camera solve with garbage mattes, and place objects into shots to test your tracking data. Motion graphics pro Andy Needham also shows how to use the Track Finder tools to remove bad tracking data, and export data to CINEMA 4D for some really cool sample projects, including a 3D simulation and a 3D text treatment.

Since the beginning of the photographic art form, photographers have been searching for clearer and sharper images. Now, you don’t have to settle for what was captured in camera; you can perfect your photos in post-production. In this course, Chris Orwig tackles sharpening in three programs: Adobe Camera Raw, Lightroom, and Photoshop. They all have their strengths, so he shows you how to get the best results from specific sharpening challenges with each one. Chris shows you how to reduce noise and sharpen with sliders and make selective adjustments to certain areas of raw images. In Photoshop, he uses powerful filters like Unsharp Mask and Smart Sharpen to sharpen larger areas of pictures, and masking to paint in sharpening. Last, he shares two advanced techniques, one using high pass sharpening and another that limits sharpening to the edges of your images.
