    The addon keeps getting better and better!

    There are 3 points and the addon will become very cool!

    1) An important point is to add not only just camera tracking, but also OBJECT tracking. This will be really cool! For example, select an object with a marker as in the after and let it rattle.

    2) The mask doesn’t seem to be bad, but it still needs some work, otherwise we have a lot of people in the scene.

    3) The most important and coolest change you made was the speed per 1000 frames for a resolution of 1920*1080. He does tracking in about 20 minutes. It will be great if you speed it up for 4k resolution.

    Bro we believe in you! You are making the addon cooler and cooler every time!

    Please add object tracking, improve the mask and try to increase the speed for vertical scenes from 4k.

    Incredibly slow, hoping future updates address this. I can see it becoming a really great tool if this area is fixed!

    I usually don't write reviews, but I had to share my experience with this add-on. I had been struggling for days to track some footage using Blender's native tracking, another add-on, and AE, but had no luck at all. This wasn't my first time doing this, but the footage was just too tricky. Flaxtrax was able to crunch the footage for 20 minutes and delivered a perfectly usable tracking result! While the tracking wasn't 100% geometrically correct (likely due to some issues with the DVCPro HD source footage and unusual lens distortion), the tracking points were 100% accurate. This is a limitation of Blender's Camera Solver. I really appreciate this add-on and its ability to save me so much time and frustration. Thank you!

    I believe it works fine for many people, sadly its been f annoying and Im mad that i waste my money on this add on because i wanted a solution and know i need to invest time checking how to make it worked. Im faster doing the track by myself than waiting hours until FlaxTrack finish.
    Im sorry, I know for some people this add on has been a salvation but for my experience this was just F waste of everything.

      Hello Nicola,
      Thank you for the feedback. I am so sorry that you are disappointed. However, the addon should not take hours; if that's the case, something wrong has happened. I have recently released a major update for the addon, enhancing the tracking and solving part, as well as adding many new useful features, such as the ability to mask out external moving objects like cars or people moving across the scene. Please try it out (the new version 1.6.0) and tell me what you think. If you need any assistance using the addon, feel free to contact me here on Blender Market.
      Best regards,
      Axel

    This add-on is amazing and it saved hours of work already. I am impressed at how good it tracks any footage and detects focal length. It takes quite a significant time to process (16 minutes in my case) but it would take 10 times more to get such a low solver error doing it manually, apart from the headache. Time depends on how many FPS and resolution is your video and how low you want the solver error to be. I realized with a solver error of 0.8 (default) you get excellent results. Please keep the updates coming!

    Motion tracking is an absolute breeze. 5 stars when the addon gets some kind of progression bar or indicator!

    Slightly long processing time.
    (about 7mn with 420 frames)
    however, there's no additional annoying works
    so as a result, time is shortened.

    Nice addon! For a total tracking noob like myself, this is a god send! Nice work.

    Excelent add on some footage may not work very well or take lot of time but it saved me a lot of time of motion tracking ! I really recommend this add-on, it was a very profitable purchase. The only problem that I could raise is that we cannot put moving objects but I understand, it would be far too complex to develop. But congradulations !

    Tracks the scene perfectly every time! The only downside is that it freezes blender while it does its work, but thats a minor inconvenience that can easily be ignored for the high quality tracking. i highly recommend this addon
