What you will learn

In this tutorial we'll learn how to work efficiently and effectively in PFTrack.

We'll learn the mechanics of a real world camera and how to implement that into our tracking work. We will cover sensor sizes, lens distortion, and how to use PFTrack's tools professionally to account for those. We'll be covering all types of scenarios, from aerial footage to object matching a actors face.

By the end of this training you should have a firm grasp of PFTrack's workflow and how to solve a wide variety of shots.
