Analysis solve failed but this time for track point, not 3d camera

[jeff_5720]

Coming back to a project after a few months to make some tweaks before re-rendering I was greeted with the "analysis solve failed" error. However, my issue is not with a 3D camera but with a track point. That has already been tracked and keyframed. And shows all the correct points when I look at it, I would prefer to not have to run the tracker again and have to make all the small corrections I did previously.

So it's already been tracked and keyframed, any idea why I am getting this now when nothing has changed since I last worked on this? I've updated to the latest, restarted, and tried to re-analyze but it's not coming out smoothly and would require me to redo all the existing tracking work. Is there an easy solution I'm just missing?

Hey Jeff,

Thanks for the post and the info you gave. I asked our Adobe Experts if they have any ideas for you. I think we need more information, though. Do you have any effects like Warp Stabilizer applied after tracking? Have you updated After Effects? Corrupted cache or project settings after updates or reopening can trigger a forced re-analysis. Are there any changes in the footage? Was the footage moved to another drive or anything? Any other details you can give? I hope we can help you. I apologize for the difficulty you are facing;

Thanks,
Kevin

No other effects, it's a shape moving around the shot.
Yes, I am using the latest AE.
Footage is unchanged, same drive, everything else.

Again, I see the tracking data for the tracking points and everything lines up where it should be when I go back and forth on the timeline so the analysis is already done, I don't know why it's insisting to do it again.

Have you updated After Effects since you did the original tracking?

Thanks,
Kevin

[jeff_5720]

Yes.  Is that the issue?

[jeff_5720]

And if it is the issue, is there a way to check what version I had been using previously on the files?

[jeff_5720]

I reverted back to 25.1 and the issue is still present.

I feel dumb now but the solution was squirreled away in an unused layer, there was a 3D Camera Tracking effect on it that I didn't even know was there 

Apparently this was a lesson in cleaning up your projects when you're working on them and not months later.

That is completely ok. Happens to me all the time. Thanks for updating the thread, and feel free to reach out if there are any other questions. 

Thanks,
