Capture real camera motion with your iPhone and import robust tracking data directly into After Effects.
Why motion designers use Omniscient
No more failed solves
AE's 3D Camera Tracker fails on low-contrast footage, motion blur, and fast movement. Omniscient captures real sensor data.
Zero solve time
No waiting for analysis. Your camera data is ready the moment you stop recording. Import and start compositing immediately.
Native AE format
Export as a .jsx script that creates a ready-to-use composition with 3D camera, anchors, and scan from your shoot.
