After Effects VR Comp Editor tracks sky instead of floor

Report · May 18, 2020

Hello,

I got a Mac OS Mojave 10.14.4, Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2015; 2,2 GHz Intel Core I7; 16 GB Ram; Intel Iris Pro...

My Adobe After Effects Version is updated to 2020...

I'm working on some 360 monoskopic footage which I took with a Nikon keymission and which I want to track. Unfortunately, instead of the ground, the program tracks the sky which is reflected in some tiny parts of water puddles on the ground. I tried it with the second part of this tutorial to define a certain region of the ground to be tracked but it doesn't work with this either https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4CRohjVeQI

I'd love to use the VR Comp Editor instead of the normal tracking function but it always gets stuck in the "Solving Camera" mode. I used it with other footage and it worked totally fine (after some tries and as soon as I shortened the length of the footage...)

I've been working on this project for more than a month now so I am getting a tiny bit desperate 😕

Thanks for your help.
