Stands out in the toolfarm library as the first 3D object tracker for After Effects, bringing geometry-based match-moving into the standard 2D viewport through a pin-based workflow.
KeenTools GeoTracker is a 3D object tracking plugin for Adobe After Effects, described by its developer as the first 3D object tracker for the application. It brings almost real-time geometry tracking to motion design and is built to feel like a decent built-in tool. Match-moving work that would usually require a team of motion-tracking specialists can be handled by a VFX artist with less time spent.
The plugin uses a pin-based approach to model manipulation, letting you place and move a model in 3D space within the standard 2D viewport, without additional windows or gizmos. It covers geometry-based object and camera tracking, 3D object and camera alignment, focal length estimation for unknown cameras, and video-based texturing. You can also export a 3D scene from GeoTracker for After Effects as an Alembic file.
It runs on 64-bit Windows or macOS on both Intel and Apple Silicon hardware, and supports After Effects version 17.0 (2020) or newer, including AE 25.6. A recent update fixed a bug with inverted mesh UVs during Alembic export. A demo video is available.
KeenTools GeoTracker is best for motion design and VFX artists handling 3D object tracking and match-moving in After Effects.
KeenTools GeoTracker is completely free to download and use.

GeoTracker for After Effects can export its 3D scene as an Alembic (.abc) file, which lets you move tracked results into other applications that read Alembic. A recent update also fixed a bug with inverted mesh UVs during Alembic export, so exported meshes carry correct UVs. Alembic export was introduced as a way to pass tracking data out of After Effects for use elsewhere in a pipeline. For details on the export workflow and file options, see the developer's page.
