Anyone used slapshot AI camera tracking. According to google it’s the leading auto tracking tool.
I like borisfx Syntheyes
Fast as fuck
Accurate as you can be fucked
Integrated as you can be fucked
Not fucked though
Extraordinarily good software
You can teach even the most obstinate flame artists how to use it in minutes.
60% of them will not ignore it.
Great software.
Great support.
Obviously YMMV
We have used it for roto but not tracking
So that’s a no then.
Standalone ?
It’s separate software
Not an ofx
The integration is very nice but without customization can be 100% destructive.
The documentation is deep but in some critical areas it is hopelessly wrong.
The most obvious error is where your customization files live.
Bearing in mind that nobody reads manuals this is an irrelevance.
Totally agree with @philm SynthEyes for the win.
Slapshot! Failed miserably with a fairly straightforward track. I even tracked it with Flame’s traditional tracker. SynthEyes, chewed it and spat it out in less than a minute.
I think the word “auto” is doing a lot of work there. Like when cars are described as, “best in it’s class (of one)”
But also, google’s an ouroboros of AI slop now, so it could be just google confidently stating something untethered from reality.
