Need Help with a Matchmove
Posted in: Beginners TalkHey team,
Well i’ve always thought matchmoving moving looked rather easy but after 2 days of hell i take it all back!
I’m trying to track a dolly shot (with PFtrack), there’s no pan, just a dolly in along flat ground. As far as i can tell, PFtrack thinks that there is some movement along the Y axis. There shouldn’t be, and if there is, it is very minor.
i’ve uploaded a low res version of the shot. and a preview from PFtrack. Everytime i have a go with PFtrack i get different results but always the Y translation which i know isn’t there so i feel like if i can get rid of that then i should be able to sort it.
The example from PFtrack has Mushroom and a cows head in it to show how poor the track is. It’s OK (actually pretty bad) at the start with the mushroom but it get worse with cows head. My aim is place some CGI on the wooden board at the end of the shot.
It’s actually quite important that i learn how to track this shot so any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated!
