What is a motion tracking?

A Motion Tracking job involves using software and techniques to analyze and track the movement of objects, people, or cameras in video footage. This process is essential in fields such as visual effects, animation, virtual production, and augmented reality. Motion tracking artists work with tools like After Effects, Mocha, or 3D tracking software to ensure realistic integration of digital elements with live-action footage. Their role is crucial in post-production for films, video games, and advertisements.
