Saw no info for track (RED cam)

Posted in: Matchmoving Software
Hello,
I have a problem with the tracking – all matchmoving software saw no information to catch the camera. We were shooted it with Red camera (24 lenz). We have a several doubles, and all of those we can’t track/catch 🙁 We tried to track 2k dpx, 4k tiff, hd mov.. Boujou don’t see some frames, syntheyes can’t catch info.. pftrack too…
I tried to make a supervising track in Syntheyes, but camera path was wrong when all markers was solved.
Why this is happen? What we did wrong?
I was upload a part of sequence on ftp, if someone can try to track.
Thanks for help.


A file was removed from my ftp. Thanks for help!

Export failure from PFtrack 5.0

Posted in: Matchmoving Software
Hello everyone.

I did a matchmove in pftrack 5.0 which turned out fine. I orientated, added and positioned grids and boxes… Everything looking good, making me happy.

Now I get export failure messages, and, well: it doesn’t export the move.

For the track I used User Features and Guided Autotrackes – as I said before: I am happy with the result – and my export choices are Lightwave, Nuke and After Effects.

Nothing works.
Lens distortion worked, tracking, solving…fine.

Any ideas why pft is failing to export? Unfortunatly it doesn’t say anything else.

All answers are appreciated.

-Michael

Track stabilized footage

Posted in: Matchmoving Software
Hi
I have a fast shot that was filmed with the videocamera’s optical stabilizer. Now when I have tracked the shot the 3D object doesn’t stick du the footage. Is it because I used the stabilizer? Is there anything I can do to the footage or just reshoot it with the stabilizer turned off?

Sorry for bad english:p

Pft: – ‘User-Features’ – solving issues

Posted in: Matchmoving Software
I’ve made a heap of ‘user-feature’ tracks, and in every frame I’ve made sure there are a minimum of 6+ at any one time, however when attempting to ‘solve’ I get a typical error at X-frame.
Some good info here but a little confusing with the slight language barrier & pacing.
http://www.duber.tv/en/matchmoving/

The reason for primarily setting up my own tracks is that the shot is fast moving, jerky and quite tricky for auto tracks to figure out.

Movimento or alternatives?

Posted in: Matchmoving Software
Sine Autodesk acquired Realviz, have they kept Movimento going? There’s still a page on the Autodesk site;

http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet…12&id=11868979

but the program doesn’t appear in their product lists?

If it’s dead, is there a decent alternative, off the shelf?

PFtrack Constraints

Posted in: Matchmoving Software
At what stage should I be applying my planar constraints? Should I apply them before the camera solve or after? Should I be apply constraints to just a few points or as many as are accurate?

This is my first time using PFtrack (I’m used to Boujou) and I’ve been applying the planar constraints to the solved points and then adjusting the solve ("Improve Solution"). This only seems to make more errors in the solve (this is also reflected in the Proj-Error and Cam-Error graphs). I’ve tried applying the constraints at different stages, varying the number of points, etc. but to no avail.

About the footage I’m working with: It was shot against a green screen with track marks all around (on two flat walls and the floor). The issue with the footage is that the camera is hand-held and walks around a character sitting the foreground. There are always at least a half-dozen visible track points but PFtrack gets very confused by all of this. I’ve merging tracks that get occluded and half feature tracks on all the track points. Also I’m solving the shot in multiple pieces.

Thanks in advance for the help!
