    Study Notes

    CAMERA TRACKER

    • The 3D Camera Tracker effect analyzes video sequences to extract 3D scene data and camera movement.
    • 3D camera movement facilitates proper composition of 3D elements within 2D footage.
    • Resolved 3D tracking points appear as small 'X's in color, used for accurately placing content in the scene.

    WRAP STABILIZER

    • The Wrap Stabilizer effect stabilizes movement by eliminating variations caused by camera motion.
    • It transforms handheld footage into stable and smooth shots, enhancing visual quality.

    KEYING

    • Keying defines transparency using a specific color or luminance value in an image.
    • Pixels that match the designated value become transparent, allowing for compositing.
    • Commonly used in film, this technique allows actors to be filmed against a solid color background, which is later replaced with a new scene.

    PARTICLE SYSTEM

    • Particle animations can be created alongside objects and characters using particle systems.
    • These systems consist of a particle emitter, particles themselves, and the dynamics governing their behavior.

    PARTICLE TYPES AND TOOLS

    • Two main particle effects: CC Particle System II and CC Particle World, with the latter offering 3D visualization of particles.

    PARTICLE PARAMETERS

    • Grid & Guides: Helps with object placement within the scene.
    • Birth Rate: Higher values increase particle flow, making the screen appear fuller.
    • Longevity: Duration particles remain visible on screen; they disappear after a set time.
    • Producer: Determines size and position of the particle emitter.
    • Position: Indicates the spatial location from which particles are emitted.
    • Radius: Defines the emitter size, allowing particles to emit from any point within this volume.
    • Physics: Configures particle dynamics, including how they behave in motion.
    • Animation: Provides options for different emission styles, such as explosions or whirlwinds.
    • Velocity: Determines the speed at which particles leave the emitter.
    • Gravity: Sets the acceleration of particles, which can be positive or negative.
    • Floor: Allows for the creation of a ground for particles to interact with, enabling behaviors like bouncing or sliding.
