Trying to analyze a scene where a forklift is pushing crates from the right at a birds eye view camera angle. When I go to analyse it fails though and I'm not sure whether its the scene I'm trying to track or my computer?

That looks like the error ribbon the 3D camera tracker gives you.

If you are trying to analyze the movement of the forklift (so you can have graphics move with it for example) you would want to use Motion Tracking not Camera Tracking.

You could use either the built in Motion Tracker or the MochaAE plugin (it;s inclded for free with AE).

I can't tell from the single-frame screenshot, but it looks like there is not enough changing geometry in the shot to analyze the shot properly. You might be better off using Mocha AE to do the tracking.

I could give you better advice if you could share all or part of the shot.
