When I track some footage and then create a 3D camera for that footage, the 3D track camera does not work properly. It appears different and the timeline box is hollow. Anyone know how to fix this?
Your screenshot is pretty useless. If this is a top-down shot of an airplane flying it is not at all suitable for camera tracking. The track points will attach to the aircraft, not to the ground.
The only problem I see in the timeline is the lack of a ram preview for the part of the timeline that has a camera. I have no idea why the in and out points for the camera layer are fouled up. It looks like you only have a camera for 1 frame. I also don't see a Tracker Solid, Tracker Null, or 3D text layer to this tells me that you have not gone through the normal workflow for camera tracking. I don't think there is anything wrong with AE. The problem probably lies entirely in the shot.
We need more workflow details and a description of what you are trying to accomplish.
