In this blender 2.8 tutorial we go over the fundamentals of motion tracking inside blender. Specifically we go over image sequence conversion and the motion models (location, rotation, scale, affine, perspective) used for tracking. This is the first part of a 3 part tutorial series covering everything to do with motion tracking.
