API for 3D Camera Tracker?

Question

Is there an API which can invoke 3D Camera Tracker for a composition containing video item? I am open to use any of the architectures - ExtendScript SDK or C++ based plugin SDK.

I browsed through developer guides for both the SDKs but no luck. I am working on a Windows machine, so tools like Quartz Composer isnt an option which are purely mac based.

Is there any other tool say, Pixel Blender, that can help me achieve 3D Camera Tracking?

Hi sahilgera!Pixel Bender isn't supprted anymore (stopped with CS6). But anyway, this tool wasn't offering what you need.You want to invoke the native 3D Camera Tracker, right? I didn't see any reference in C++ SDK...I think the ExtendScript is the best approach.You'll have to dig into the extendscript manual to do it properly...Or the brute force solution is (once your video layer is selected):"app.executeCommand(3983)". This number is valid for AE CC, but you can't rely on it for other versions...Cheers,François
