There will be no camera movement before the in-point of the camera-tracked section, but the camera will be there. That is now the landing spot for the drone. Make sure that the solid sticks to the landing pad. Set an origin and ground plane on the landing pad, then add a Track Solid there. If you want to try something with that shot, I suggest that you decide where and when you want the drone to land, split the original footage layer there, and camera track just the last part of the shot. If you are not an expert in Blender, Cinema 4FD, After Effects, or as a cinematographer, multiply those hours by a factor of about 10. You'll also want to make sure that you have the ability to create an environment map to help with the lighting of your model. The more realistic you want the shot to be, the longer it's going to take. My rough estimate for a job like the one you describe would be 10 to 40 hours. I would also create or buy a 3D model of a drone carrying a package and then use Element 3D (from Video Copilot) to insert your 3D model in the scene.Īnother option would be to take the shot into Blender (a free and open-source amazing 3D app - HTTP://) and do the camera tracking and model building there. If I was asked to do a shot like this, I would carefully storyboard the shot first, find a suitable location, then carefully execute the camera move so there was some significant parallax changes (perspective) and plenty of detail in the shot.
