Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does Open Video Tracker support?

Open Video Tracker supports Blender versions 3.6 through 4.5, so it covers that span of releases. It is also listed as Blender extension compatible and is distributed as an add-on. If you run a version within that range, it is meant to work with your setup. For versions outside 3.6 to 4.5, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing, since support can change with new releases of the software.

Which render engines does Open Video Tracker work with?

Open Video Tracker works with the Blender Internal, Cycles, and Eevee render engines. That coverage spans the engines listed for the add-on. If your project relies on Cycles or Eevee, the add-on names both among its compatible engines, alongside Blender Internal. For any specifics on how it behaves with a particular engine in your Blender version, the developer's page and included documentation are the places to look before you commit to it.

Is Open Video Tracker free?

Open Video Tracker is listed as free here in the catalog, and it is distributed under the GPL license. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the current arrangement and any details around usage rights, check the developer's page directly. The GPL license also governs how the add-on can be used and shared, which is worth reviewing if you plan to modify or redistribute it as part of your own Blender workflow.

Does Open Video Tracker come with documentation?

Open Video Tracker comes with documentation, which is listed among what the add-on provides. A demo video is also available for reference. Between the documentation and the demo video, you have material to look at before and during setup. For the most current versions of both, along with any guidance specific to your Blender release from 3.6 through 4.5, the developer's page is the place to start.
