TUTORIAL: Boujou to After Effects (Nodal Pan Speed Run)

[zapdo77]

what version of boujou is this

[Project62025]

The dislike bar is like a ninja, you know its there but you can't see it

[TDramdomZZZ]

@Project62025 yes you can.

[HyperblexMedia]

i like syntheyes for the facial mocap. but i use boujou for normal tracking

[MrRabidCat]

I'm the 123,000 viewer!

[BogusIndustries]

5:00 if it's not perfect it's not because you didn't follow the tutorial. I've used lots of trackers professionally for over 4 years and it's literally NEVER been that easy. Although, we typically bring cameras into Maya for set reconstruction or cg elements. Maybe AE is easier. Like he said, read the manual if stuff goes wrong. These guys are amazing but they kinda glossed over a complex process. If you track all your pans like this and nothing ever goes wrong ever, you are blessed by VFX gods.

[QuackEdits]

@BogusIndustries im blessed

[olleg2k11]

hey all ur tut's are very helpful. thx

[swaqash]

Thanks

[secretasianman2937]

So confused can u do on a windows

[Walker2057]

Ha, these guys are right, .wmv and .avi files crash all the time.

[ninelivestarzan]

I'd like to see one person on here who has payed 10,000 dollars

[FeedMeCheese]

@ninelivestarzan Anyone would pay 10,000 dollars for a program that can't remember the frame rate you selected the first time.

[AfterVEffects]

@FeedMeCheese I Did...

[FeedMeCheese]

@AfterVEffects No way! It's still a brilliant piece of software, just kinda agitating that it 'forgets' your framerate the first time xD

[AfterVEffects]

@FeedMeCheese True, it's very good, but it just needs fine tuning :)

[MoreThanLuck]

Hey guys! I would LOVE more tutorials on various effects in After Effects! I'd love to try to do some of the stuff you guys can! Maybe one day, I'll be as good in cinematography and editing as you guys. Thanks again, Ian

[ashwin1296]

[TheBigCatFilms]

Free Move Tutorial

[Varadium]

boujou looks completely different

[BisonVFX]

Waiting for the Free move tutorial :)

[misterkevinoh]

Soo, what format do I save for an image sequence?

[misterkevinoh]

How high end does your computer need to be for After Effects to not lag so crazily after you've imported the file? 

[RikaRelic]

@misterkevinoh Not pretty high end. Just let it load.

[CUPIDISCURTIS]

Is there anyway to track 2d in boujou?

[dinodude411]

Where can I get good sounds, like gun shots and explosions?

[DJlikoniko]

@samandniko

Please , make tutorial with Cinema 4d :)

[Weapon0fCho1ce]

@dinodude411 i can't be perfectly sure, but i think that freddie wong made something you can download in the description of one of his vids. Don't quote me though.

[3guys1girlandfetus]

hi am trying to put a flare form knoll light factory but when i add it with an adjustment layer it doesn't track with the footage but when a put a solid it does track can someone tell me how can it move the same but with the flare?

[thechampHLR]

do sam and niko live with fredie ????

[ninelivestarzan]

I somehow doubt ANY of the people on this have actually bought boujou.

[xXAuswalkerXx]

do you know if motion 5 does the same sort of thing as boujou??

[Argarsad]

so.. if my camera is rotating on a tripod, is it considered as nodal pan or free move?

[uaidavi]

@Argarsad nodal

[CUPIDISCURTIS]

@Argarsad nodal.

[Razorhead777]

boujou error (373) unable to solve for these tracks Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!@!

[TheWhatsupFilms]

haha pause at 3:36 an see the folders

[CronoElectric]

@cactus248productions lol, I wish I could. If I could that would be the first thing I'd do.

[JMeyerProductions]

I think I can hear Brandon and Freddie talking in the background..... Heard clearly at 4:14 ..... Give me your opinion please!

[effectsniper]

i got error (373) UNABLE TO SOLVE TRACKS!! what happend??

[cardfreakable]

@effectsniper was your nodal pan box ticked or free move

[effectsniper]

@cardfreakable probably not..

[cardfreakable]

@effectsniper well the same happened to me . OR your footage might not be a tripoded pan and hand held, and that will throw the track of

[LeSKUNK420]

@effectsniper SAME HERE

[effectsniper]

@LeSKUNK420 THATS ANOYING!! if u got it ilegaly thats probly wy. but i didnt. iv heard there is a file in the file share one called. OMGERROR.eve or something try deleting it.

[asianfred606]

I love tour /mr toots comps/shit folder

[Kasumuni]

You and NIko are champions

[Mushubeans]

When I try to bring in my camera data to 3DS Max it says "error cannot find frame ..." (I can't remember what frame it is but it's something totally random"

[TheDamnJozhee]

LOL AT 3:37 , IN THE MENU:

/Projects/mr toots comps/SHIT

why the hell do you have that guys lol

[ClearEditing]

Error 373 after i triped the Camera smoothness

[SuperZYR]

Error (373) Unable to solve for these tracks.

[mepesf952]

99%? Well, I guess I'm on the 1% that didin't work.

[monkeyvfx]

bojou is great and its ilegay free :)

[SK8RBOY586]

where is the 'next tutorial ? :P

[edryh]

does anyone know why everytime i import to after effects the boujou track doesnt match up with my video?? anyone???

[xJesusChristFilmz7]

the reason why his camera solve is fast is because his computer is stronger probly

[xJesusChristFilmz7]

Boujou Nodal pan camera solve problem (error 373)

[SkiminStones]

@hilmanazraei Screenflow... obviously...

[AniMexx13]

error (373) unable to solve for these tracks

how to fix that??

[TaldarimGaming]

@AniMexx13 No idea, try google it :)

[TimeFadesMemoryLasts]

@AniMexx13

your footage doesn't contain enough contrasty edges for boujou to track properly

[MrTecnec]

1:37 <-- MrToots/Shit ! xD

[0zedess0]

My camera solve is taking hours to create, but his took only seconds. Is this normal?

[randyandrey951]

@0zedess0 he just passed fast the video till it's done

[TimeFadesMemoryLasts]

@0zedess0

the better your tracking data the faster the solve will be. if you're using for example a fisheye lens you also need to correct the distortion before tracking. and of course the faster your computer the faster the track (obvious)

[tsunami30003000]

I got it thanks, the problem was, I was dragging the import comp onto the timeline. Didn't know AE loads the whole project  automatically, One more question for everyone thats into VFX, how the heck do people in the industry create image sequences with a specific padding, without AE ???

[bbhnson1]

I'm one of those people who doesn't have Boujou, but still is watching this. ;p



[IbrahimProd]

@bbhnson1 I have boujou for free in Facebook Pro App

[Thejahproduction]

thank you niko :D

[tsunami30003000]

God damn, I did everything you told me. And when I import everything to AE, I get a black composite with a huge white square in the center.. which is a null object btw.

[isteinvids]

@tsunami30003000 Did you set the scale scene by 1000?

[tsunami30003000]

Hi, love the tutorial.. Jus one question can you show use how to add target tracks or track footage manually in Boujou?

[kukikarlolukaps3]

6 months have passed, and I'm still waiting for Free Move tutorial.

[LethargicBannanazZ]

@kukikarlolukaps3 they are pretty much the same, and if you check the manual it will help a lot. (it helped me use boujou!)

[eftimov2]

@kukikarlolukaps3 its the same

[MisteroMikey]

@kukikarlolukaps3 free move is pretty much the same only it categorizes the whole movie into scenes, but not normal scenes just when the camera moves a lot on the zeta line, it creates another scene just erasing the trackers behind the camera. then when you export it you just need to export all the scenes. I havn't tried it myself but Thats the jist of it if you cacth my drift :)

[TheJPGenius]

@kukikarlolukaps3 Its the same exact thing but you click the box "Free Move" instead of "Nodal Pan", and you dont have to change the focal length. Sam cant do it all!

[CronoElectric]

@LethargicBannanazZ yah, its not a good camera, it's my moms old one

[r0xmysox1]

@CronoElectric 30-60 fps camera is good. lol not 13

[CronoElectric]

What if your camera uses 13 as a frame rate. how would you use that in boujou if thats not in the list?

[LethargicBannanazZ]

@CronoElectric 13? are you sure?

[cactus248productions]

@CronoElectric get a new camera :L

[SubunitProductions]

This really really helped me a ton! Thanks!

[13chungh1]

Best.Tut.Ever.

[carbine781]

How was your camera solve so fast? Mine takes like 2 hours...

[juztiMer]

@carbine781 you pc to low

[carbine781]

@juztiMer ?

[juztiMer]

@carbine781 you need a better pc

[carbine781]

@juztiMer I have a mac...

[juztiMer]

@carbine781 mm maybe you have wrong setting or so i dont use mac

[kawigwapo]

comment below me is a noob

[carbine781]

Can you just precompose all of the dots?

[kwillo4]

this is bullshit, as if it was that easy, if you do it like this , the objects you place in, are going to move wrong

[LiquidChromez]

/watch?v=NLlRltSu00A

[agentspymonkey]

does work on apple motion?

[LethargicBannanazZ]

@agentspymonkey if apple motion can import .ma files

[DigitalPixelHD]

Great Tutorial! Congratulations! Finally a friendly explanation! Pro!

[hilmanazraei]

what kind of screen recorder that he used ?

[asianfred606]

@hilmanazraei its a program for mac called ScreenFlow

[Bboychill210]

@hilmanazraei i think camtasia

[NoobOnDuty]

@hilmanazraei Screen Flow

[EthanCookTV]

@hilmanazraei Screenflow

[EthanCookTV]

@hilmanazraei I believe that's it

[TheCardsProduction]

WHEN IS THE NEXT TUT COMING????

[jesse4354]

it won't open my .mov files 0.o

[CloverTClover]

it's funny how the points in boujou and in after effects they look great cuz they are in the right places, then i put some picture or w,e

and it does everything less staying where it should, i really have no idea what's wrong

is it any After effects cs5.5 or boujou 5.. problem ?

school work for this monday and this problem is driving me nuts

[djnoreg]

@CloverTClover Move ur tracking a couple of frames ahead and see if that works



[kwillo4]

@CloverTClover wwPw.yPoutube.coPm/waPtch?v=GO­SDS3xXqnPc this is a tutorial that should help you out alot better (remove the capital P's)

[BaGlePoCkEt]

I dont get it.

[romlevtov]

i have a pc

[romlevtov]

how do you chane it to image sqwens?

[NTG56]

@romlevtov

I've always used Rad Video Tools for that. It's free just google it. Start it, select your movie file, click Convert a File. Then click Output type and pick a still image format like JPG or PNG, then click Convert. Make sure you have your movie file in a folder somewhere, not your desktop, because it's going to dump all of the images in that location.

[eftimov2]

if i do track features, than he keaps droping frames.

please help!

[TheAwesomenessFactor]

please make rayfire tutorial

[ThinkingBrainFilms]

Free Move! Free Move! Free Move!

Like the tutorial, great.

[LordOdin2008]

Gah, boujou is so frustrating in how much it wigs out! Please do a Mocha tutorial or alternate program.

[treecumber]

PLEASE SHOW HOW TO EXPORT TO 3DS MAX PLEAAAAASE!!!!!

[eftimov2]

@treecumber export it as a ''ms'' file

(not shure but i think its ''ms''

[kukikarlolukaps3]

OMG! YOU HAVE iPHONE!!!! :O how did you get that?!?!?!??! :D jus kidding of course :)

[TheSpunk45]

at 6:34 sam says to take a look at the boujou manual. but mine didnt come with one, because i got it from the pirate bay

[LetsLiveOurLives]

@TheSpunk45 that's because you got it illegally...

[ElliotExplicit]

So this is how you stabilise your footage or just add objects into footage?

[ishowyouapple]

I need the FREE MOVE my camera is moving alot and it doesnt work?

[pianoaddict772]

you think after effects camera track is hard. 3ds max camera track is harder.

[BlasterTon]

When I put pictures and set them to screen mode it make the pictures almost see through, it's not the opacity, or anything else I can think off, any help, been trying to fix this for a while now.

[OneBigMoshpit]

@BlasterTon duplicate the picture and put all copies as screen underneithy the first one till you get back your opacity

[OneBigMoshpit]

@OneBigMoshpit *Under

[littlevaderlive]

why not free move? if I'm not filming side to side i'm doing forward or backward its the same? or i need use nodal pan?

[LimitlessB0Xstudios]

wow boujou is expensive 0_0 if only i could have a camera in 3ds max animated to the movement to the footage, is that even possible?

[gokuta333]

@LimitlessB0Xstudios thats...the same >_>

[WhatsBetterThanVFX]

diego

[charpinco]

Very NICE ! And for 3D MAX?

[ezio187]

[jochemherz]

[KrixPrix]

My Null object squares are really huge, what can i do?

[Mikhanator]

would Camera Tracker from The Foundry be just as good as Boujou?

[boyboyyo5678]

free :(

[MrJimRS]

Could I just use Mocha?

[pianoaddict772]

@MrJimRS mocha does not do 3d tracking. only surface tracking.

[Mikhanator]

@MrJimRS no, mocha is only for 2d tracking

[RobloxVidsRUS]

Does this work with blender?

[GamerPlace3D]

when will the 3ds max matchnove tutorial come out ?

[AmplusChannel]

Great all you need is to spend 10,000 dollars on a tracking program!

[xXDaPerXx]

@AmplusChannel Or.. just download it for free :P

[LuckyLuke0316]

Free Move noa!

[GamerPlace3D]

when the Free Move tutorial will be on youtube ?

[KingReidTard]
