Hasta La Motion!

Hi. I have a sequence of 23 shots, all of which were shot at the same location. I want to track every single camera, not only in relationship to the tracking points, but in relationship to each other, so that when i solve my cameras, I can have them all in 3D space in the correct position, and when brought to my 3D application, i only have to make one scene, and adjust the scale, position, and rotation once.

I am using PF Match It, which as far as I am concerned has the capability of tracking multiple cameras, however I am not getting the desired results.

I bring every single shot into my tree view, and an autotrack node to each one indiviually, track it, and then connect every single autotrack node into a user track node, where i set up a couple (3 to be specific – I wish i could use more, but in 23 cameras moving around can be hard to find many features in common) of common features, then add a camera solver node, connecting the 23 upouts, however some of my cameras don’t work at all….

Has anyone ever done this? Am I doing it correctly?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Hey guys,

I’m doing a simple project where I’m going to have a little animated object on my table. It requires a pretty simple matchmove which I thought I had done, but it has a lot of jitter on it :/ I have all the exact camera details and things like that but it seems to not have a great solve since there is this jitter.

EDIT:

I now have different video footage and another track that has a solve but I would like some feedback on weather this solve is acceptable for putting a 3d object on the plane and if its not so great I would love if someone could help improve this for me? Here is the new footage (quite small ~25megs) and track. Help would be much appreciated 🙂

can any one tell me about scalar geometry and aligning to the grid after solving

Hi everyone,

I am currently working on a few stereoscopic shots in PFTrack and I am
having a strange problem which I cant figure out. When I solve the steresocopic Camera it gives me a weird pointcloud, like its mirrored or something.
But when I activate "separate stereo solve" it give me a good pointcloud. In my opinion solving for both cameras should actually give better results than solving twice… Has anyone faced that problem yet ?

Ok, every track that i’ve been doing for learning purposes matches up perfect on the tracking software but then when i export it to cinema4d…it doesn’t anymore, why is that? i even add the correct focal lenght.
