Description

Blue Square VFX Tracking Markers

Matte blue square tracking markers built for green-screen stages, where blue stays cleanly separated from the green key. They give your matchmove and roto teams unambiguous reference points for 3D camera tracking and compositing.

Why crews choose them

• Optimised for green screen – blue contrasts with the green key for a clean track and easy paint-out.
• Matte, non-reflective finish – no glare under set lighting or LED walls.
• Asymmetric high-contrast design – stable, easy-to-identify centres.
• Removable adhesive – clean release from most smooth surfaces (test delicate materials first).

On a blue screen or a practical set instead? Use our green markers or black & white markers. 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.
