Great add-on... BUT no Linux, this is something that brings down the score... it is unmoral to not provide a Linux version.

forgive me ubuntu for i have sinned
Well, originally i was going to rate 5 stars, as i had a great first experience tracking iphone footage in V2. but when i finally got around to trying to track some footage from my a7iii in V3, it has been a jittery unusable mess. I'm not sure why though, the footage has plenty of geometry to track, no subjects or reflections/flares of any kind, and the footage has a pretty standard movement forward. i've spent more time trying to get it to track right than i could have spent manually tracking it.

sorry to hear that - really depends on the footage on a case by case basis. as a general tip i always say:
enable shake, set overlap = 30, set features = 8000
Really great plugin and good support from developer. Unfortunately this plugins has a few missing features:
- not usable at all with panning shots - you can`t track video from tripod or static handheld due to lack of parallax. Its not working like in AE where it can detect multiple points without camera solve.
- undistorted option has no pipeline continuity. If you use that, you can`t use the original footage for post procesing / grading and you are stuck with the png sequence generated by the plugin. So if you work with raw or log, this is no use at the moment, unless you don't care about this.
- a bit slow even for 9950x with 4090 for 30 seconds 4k iphone shot - it takes like 30 minutes to do tracking and 50 minutes with undistort option.
This plugin shows a great promise and I hope the developer will address the above with future updates and make it a real 5 start plugin.

all true - gonna try to get camera intrinsics for the next update so we get the exact k1-k3 distortion values!
I dont have a NVIDIA GPU wich means I have to do the tracking with my CPU. But I noticed that it takes way longer to track, compared to the free version that Polifjord showed. Also, the tracking works almost never and often only tracks for 10 frames and then just stops. For example: I had a clip wich I tracked with this addon and with the free version Polifjord showed. This addon took 1 hour to track and ended up having only 120 out of 500 frames tracked. The Polifjord version took 20 minutes and tracked ALL frames perfectly. The only useful thing in this addon is the object tracking and human remover but they also only work 10% of the time. (The Alpha channels are just really bugged and in a wrong format)
So I just recommend watching Polifjords tutorial with the GLOMAP workflow (wich is faster and better than this one) and saving you 30$

Several times I tried to use this plugin, but it just fails or ends up in a place where it's not even useful. I regret buying this addon

i am sorry but always gives error always bitmap error of course every time, i tried your videos works good on those.my opinion that only can work in very very limited video scenarios and that without something standard.

I'm sorry but either it crashes or comes out not even close to the footage or just a part of it
