Description

Black & White Square VFX Tracking Markers

High-contrast square tracking markers for matchmoving, 3D camera tracking and compositing. The matte black-and-white pattern gives your tracker a crisp, asymmetric centre to lock onto frame after frame, with no glare under set or LED-volume lighting.

Why crews choose them

• Matte, non-reflective finish – avoids specular hot spots that confuse a solve.
• Asymmetric high-contrast design – unambiguous centres for faster, more stable tracks.
• Removable adhesive – clean release from most smooth surfaces (test delicate materials first).
• Built for practical sets – maximum contrast against mixed real-world surfaces.

Shooting on a coloured screen? Use our blue markers for green-screen stages or green markers for blue-screen stages. See the product gallery for the sheet layout and marker sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are VFX tracking markers used for?

VFX tracking markers are high-contrast reference points placed in a scene so matchmoving and 3D camera-tracking software can calculate camera motion. They give the tracker fixed, identifiable points to follow, which produces a stable solve for compositing, set extensions and CG integration.

Should I choose black & white, blue, or green markers?

Pick the colour that contrasts most with your background. Black & white markers are the all-round choice for practical, real-world sets. Blue markers work best on green-screen stages, where blue stays separated from the green key. Green markers suit blue-screen stages and darker environments.

Are the markers matte or glossy?

They use a matte, non-reflective finish. A flat finish avoids specular highlights and glare under set lighting and LED volumes, which keeps each marker centre clean and unambiguous for a more accurate track.

Are the tracking markers removable?

Yes. They use a removable adhesive that releases cleanly from most smooth surfaces. As with any adhesive, test on delicate or porous surfaces first.

Can I use them in an LED volume?

Yes. The matte finish reduces reflections from LED walls, so the markers stay readable for the tracking solve on virtual-production stages.

How many markers should I place in a shot?

Distribute enough markers across the frame and across depth – foreground, mid-ground and background – so the tracker always has well-spread points to follow as the camera moves. Add more coverage on featureless surfaces for a more stable solve.
