3D camera tracker problem

Hi Hussein,

Sorry for your struggles with camera tracking. Some great advice here. Did any of these posts help solve your issue? Please let us know, as these kind gentlemen did volunteer to help you. If you do need additional help, please let us know that, as well.

Thanks!

As I said before, if you want to insert some objects outside the windows of those objects approach the edge of the frame you're going to have to remove the lens distortion because things will not line up.

I would trim your footage to just the frames where you want to add the objects, then trim the composition height and width so you do not have any black bars,  then apply lens correction to try and remove the distortion at the edges, then pre-compose moving all attributes, then camera track the pre-comp and insert your 3-D layers.

The only other option is to stabilize the footage so things don't move and do the composite entirely in 2D, and then put the motion back in everything. Neither one of these is going to be easy or automatic.

in addition to what Szalam mentioned, here are my pointers:

I see you already made some compositing and what not. start fresh and:

1. make sure your composition and source footage frame rates match
2. select the start and end points of your footage layer in time you wish to track and trim it accordingly
3. apply the 3D Camera tracker. this looks like a Tripod pan but let Ae try for itself. you can always change it.
4. check your average error and see if it's below 1 pixel.

if this does not work, come back with the results. if you can, upload the footage so we can try for ourselves and maybe guide you through the process.

What, exact, version number of AE are you using (down to the last decimal point)?

What format and codec is that source footage?
