Hi, im working on a 6400 by 1800 comp and when i try to use camera tracker, it wotks the first time, but after that it just stuck at initializing.

The only workarround that i've founded is to close the program and delete all adobe related process from task manager, but that is not ok when i have more than 20 shots.

 

Any ideas? thanks!

Hard to say, but of course the usual culprits should be checked first: graphics driver, hardware acceleration settings, cache settings, temp folders. In your case you may also want to turn off multiframe rendering. At such large resolutions you easily run out of memory and somehow I have the gut feeling that this is a problem of the additional AE render processes lingering around and clogging up the system rather than the tracker itself.

Hi, Mylenium, thanks for the answer. I've tried all those suggestions, but the only thing that works is deleting this process running in background (picture).

Anyway, yes, i'm pretty sure that the problem is related with the large size of the comp.

Have you considered generating a smaller version and track that? 3D tracking isn't really dependent on absolute coordinates and you could scale the scene. It might also be worth trying to pre-compose to a more conventional aspect ratio. Perhaps it's just the extreme field of view in a towel strip that wacks things out...

Same issues but on a M2 Pro Mac mini. 4K footage. I've tried clearing the cache, resetting preferences, shortening clip, using Pro Res version etc.. still does the same thing. Stuck at initializing 24hr +. 
Any ideas, ..anyone?

Did anyone find a solution? 

Been working fine and never had this issue but for some reason I can't get it to initialise now. It's just stuck on Inistalizing and nothing happens

im also using mac16m2max, its been a common occurence to me.
when its stuck on initializing, i don't wait for it to work.
i delete the camera tracker on effects panel and restart AE
upon reloading the project, I change project settings rendering to Mercury Software Only.
and start tracking again. I stay on composition and don't do anything else.
This is still LUCK BASED. this is not the solution.
its been years ADOBE, when are you gonna fix this? 😠

I struggled with this issue for about a day.  Finally purged my Image cache (along with Memory & Disc cache) and the 3D camera tracker went back to working as normal.

Hope this helps some of y'all - shame that Adobe leaves it up to us paid users to sort out their issues, especially after years of complaints!
