  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

  Haven't been able to get the addon to work. I have a 11th gen core i9 and a RTX 3080ti for anyone reading who wants to compare specs. I've followed the instructions for the addon step by step and it just has blender loading for ages (literal hours). I've tested it with different PNG sequences and it does the same for all of them.

  Hello Dimitri,

  I am sorry that you had to experience this trouble. I have tested the addon in multiple scenes with different focal lengths in various environments, and it works fine. Did you include any external moving objects in your footage? Because that is one of the restrictions of the addon. Please send me your footage, and I will have a look and try to resolve the problem.

  Best regards,
  Axel

  - Very easy to use / user friendly ! => All the required informations are indeed on the product page and video tutorial.

  - Takes some time to process but in fact...Not so much !..Considering how good is the result just entering the max. solve error required, the image sequence name and clicking the start button.
  After +/- 10 mn, with 0.4 max solve error set/, 540 frames images sequence, I a got 0.21 solve error and a perfect result.... Without tweaking and re tweaking anything.
  Great addon !
