💡 Smart VFX hack: Add tiny markers to screens during filming, thank yourself later in post. Here’s why tracking markers = streamlined screen replacements:
They act as anchor points so you can easily motion track and corner-pin your new screen content in editing
No more wrestling with reflections or motion blur – markers give clear data for Mocha or AE’s tracker to chew on
You’ll spend less time tweaking and more time making the replacement look seamless and natural 🎥🔍
