About Tracker Solver

Tracker Solver extracts position keyframes from a 2D layer and computes a true 3D position in the active After Effects camera. It triangulates using the camera’s motion and works with any After Effects camera, including those imported from third‑party applications, and can also accept Mocha tracking data. A minimum of three keyframes is required; adding more increases accuracy, especially when camera movement is limited. The plugin does not support cameras with animated zoom or Point of Interest cameras and processes one layer at a time. It is compatible with After Effects releases from CS6 through the 2026 version. A demo video is available on the developer’s aescripts page.

Features

Best for

After Effects artists who need to derive a 3D position in the active camera from a small set of 2D position keyframes.
