Question

After Effects Camera Tracking Solids are not orienting properly.

Hi

i am trying to do 3d camera solve. After analizing, even though i select track point on the ground plane, the solids are not orienting as they are in ground plane. Solids are coming only in front view. please see the image i have attached. you can see i have selected the points on the ground but the solid is coming in front view.
Please help me. i am stuck.

That shot also looks like a camera pan instead of a camera move. You need perspective changes in the shot to get a 3D camera Track.

To fix this, you need to select multiple well-distributed track points that clearly belong to the same ground surface, then right-click and choose Set Ground Plane and Origin so After Effects correctly defines the world orientation. If the solid still appears in front view, you can manually adjust the plane target handles to better match the ground. This problem is more common in footage with weak depth cues or limited parallax, where the solve is less accurate. In such cases, refining track point selection, improving footage quality, or creating a null object from the track and parenting elements to it can help achieve better alignment.
