Camera Tracker stopped solving (tracking)

[Marilys Ernst]

I think this is a bug, but when I installed Mt Mograph Motion-4's plugin, my camera tracker STOPPED working.

My system is:  iMacPro 3.2 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon W, 32 GB 2666 MHz DDR4, on OS Ventura 13.0.1

Before this install, it worked and now it doesn't. I have unistalled and reinstalled both AE and Motion-4 - but still there is 'no depth from a tripod pan solve' after running the tracker.

Other attempts to solve this have been: Purging the all memory & disc cache, clean database & cache

I have attached the clip I'm trying to track and screen shots of two points in the AE Project timeline. Would love to be able to use the Camera Tracker in this workstation again...

Tripod pans have no depth information because there is no parallax change in a tripod pan. Even more sophisticated trackers have problems with tripod pans and 3D depth because there is nothing to calculate any camera movement. 

In many cases, if you have a simple tripod pan or tilt, tracking a surface in Mocha AE is the simplest workflow.

This is not a tripod pan. This is a drone shot. I am able to track this shot successfully on my MacBook Pro, not on my iMac Pro (now that I installed the Mt Mograph Motion-4's plugin); but I was able to do so before.

If installing something fouled up tracking, then you either have to uninstall it, re-install AE, roll back a version, or try for a newer version of the plug-in. It is quite possible that the 3rd party plug-in is fouling up the system because of the M1 or M2 compatibility problems that plague a lot of 3rd party developers.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have uninstalled and reinstalled AE without the plugin, but have not yet been abkle to 'reclaim' the functionality of my Camera Tracker...

Any further thoughts on a solve for this problem? I'm flumuxed as to how to solve this, and hate having to 'outsource' the camera solve from my macbook to my imac pro.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this. Marilys
