After Effects 3D Camera Tracker error "3d camera tracker doesn't work with collapse transformations"

"3d camera tracker doesn't work with collapse transformations"

 

I keep getting this error when I'm editing in Premiere Pro and replacing to After Effects. I've zero clue how to fix it, never had this issue before. If there is anyone who knows how to fix, then please let me know!

    Please embed your screenshots using the toolbar above because uploaded screenshots are a real pain to look at.

     

    For some reason you have pre-composed your footage. As Mylenium said, just turn off Collapse Transformations. If you don't need to mask things out or run some color correction on your footage to make Track Camera work then you're better off just using the original footage, just make sure that you set in and out points so you don't waste time tracking footage that doesn't need to be tracked.

      Well, it means what it says. You have CT/ CR enabled (the little sun symbol). Turn it off and things will work. You might want to read the online help about such basics.

        Thanks for the answer but why do you feel the need to be so rude?
