Question

3D camera tracker just stops

I have the problem that the 3D camera tracker suddenly stops. I select the video track that the tracker should scan. Then suddenly at 17% it just stops. When I want to repeat it, it doesn't start at all. When I restart After Effects it stops again. But then sometimes at 12% and sometimes at 23%. There is no error message. It just stops.

I have tested several After Effects versions. Everywhere the same problem.

My system:
- Win11 Pro
- Asus TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS WIFI D4
- Intel Core i7-12700K
- 64GB DDR4 3600MhZ
- Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVMe PCIe M.2
- nVidia RTX3080 10G

I just switched the quality from full to quarter and everything worked

Is it the same media each time? Can you give us the specs on the footage?

After Effects version: 23.2.1 (Build 3)

The current file 3840x2160 / 25FPS / 60Mbit
Stops at 13% (frame 162 of 1175) without an error message.

Only a section of 5 seconds was tried to be tracked.

 

So I could still work on the project I did it with Mocha AE which worked. However, I would like to use the 3D Tracker in certain situations.

No problem and thanks a lot! This shows me that it must be the codec. With Mocha it worked fine. But I will do some tests with different video formats. Thanks a lot!


Hi, thank you for your posts. I have the same problem with my drone footage (HEVC, 3840x2160).
I am flying over a golf course and I have to attach graphic elements on the ground (mostly distance markers).
I thought the tracker is maybe confused, because there is a lot of green and the video is long (1.5 - 2min).
I will try mocha now.  Hope it will work.

Thank you.
