    PFtracker export for AE
    I am trying to export some track points from PFtracker to After Effects.
    Anytime I try to export a .ma file from PFtracker I get the following warning. Anyone know how to get around this???

    Does the frame rate of your footage or comp in AE match the footage that was tracked in PF Tracker?

    Yes, everything is set to the same frame rate.

    I don’t use PF tracker but I have written a lot of software and this message indicates that the variable “framerate” has not been initialized with a value within the application. This could be a bug in the application or it might indicate there is a preference related to the frame rate has not been set. I would start with double checking anyplace where you can select or type in a frame rate. If the selector(s) allow you to type in a value I would try that as I have see many cases where a drop-down type selector looks like it has the correct value but the program does not see that value until manually selected again or typed in.

    Hi, thanks for the reply. I have gone through and adjusted the frame rate in everywhere. But there may be some location that I am unaware of.
    I am not very familiar with the software either. For all I know I am just pushing the program to do something it is not supposed to do.

    I agree with Jim.

    Unless you feel like opening up that Python file and debugging it yourself, I suggest taking the error up with The Pixel Farm’s support. This is definitely a bug.
