    Hey wussup… I wanna give my camera a handheld feel… so i am going to tape to black dots on some white paper… little shake here and there… and some zooms in and out… after i track the footage of the two dots… how do i apply the keyframes it generated to the camera… and also how can i convert the scaleing of the dots from tyhe zooms into position frames in z depth… just so u know i never really done any expressions… are there any tutorials that gives a step by step of this technique???… any help or advice is greatly appreciated… thanks in advance

    Converting the zoom to camera Z-depth will be a tough one since it involves lots of vector transformations that are non-linear, so I’d forget about it, if you don’t know any expressions. I doubt someone wil take the time and cobble up the code for you. Positions can be inverted by multiplying them with -1, tilt can be derived from the arcus tangens (atan) functions. you can find examples for this behavior in my Erath map tutorial where the lines are targeted using this method.
