Thanks in advance for your sharing.

Hey guys!
So I’m working on this pan shot now. I seem to have a pretty good track from what I can see. The ground plane in PFTrack is perfectly steady and follows everything like it should. My question is, I have some 2D tracks that PFTrack decided to ignore in the solve. Any ideas on how to improve the solve? There is this part in the beginning where three people walk across the screen and interrupt the track and its really annoying. Any idea on how to cover that part of the scene?

As far as I can see though, I’m pretty much done. Unless I’m missing something.

Advice?

Thanks in advance!

This is the footage:

This is the track:

Also please let me know what version of PFTrack you manage to open this track file on. I worked on it using 5.0r4 and I hope that r10 and r11 can open this or I’m screwed lol.

NukeX – needed?

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry

Okay, so I read all about it, the effects are nice, camera track would be great but the price probably knocks it off the table, so I will probably stick to nuke regular…and get the camera tracker for AE instead.

I will mostly be comping 3d render passes, so is NukeX really needed anyway?

I’ll never get the bosses to cough up another couple of grand, so what am I missing?

stereo 3d – convergence fcp vs. AE

Posted in: The Pad

If I shoot parallel and need to do convergence in post, is it better to do it in AE or is it possible to do it in FCP? If I used FCP do I need the 3d toolbox plugin? Can I fix alignment issues in FCP?

Thanks!
