  offsetting keyframes

  Posted by Anthony Dupsta on June 25, 2008 at 6:26 pm

  I have a tracked camera that slips over time. I want to adjust the slip over 100 keyframes.
  I can find the beginning of the slip at let say frame 100. Once we get to frame 200 the camera has slipped overall. I would like to make a soft selection and adjust the move.
  Any thoughts?

  I was hoping for any ideas how I could apply the example I presented to a large scale.
  I tried to make it simple to spark a dialog, if you don’t know, no biggie.
  Re do a track that has been tracked in PF Track and Boujou xyz + zoom and rotation all locked well. over 500 frames an hours of tracking to get me to a good point, sometimes re tracking is not the best option if AE has a lattice or soft selection to adjust a portion of the camera tracks.
  I am not sure if you don’t know, or if AE users can’t so this and I need to use Maya do deal with this. Constructive Suggestions would be very helpful.
  Sorry if I under played the question, I wanted to try to make the question clear and simple.
  These are minor camera adjustment that don’t merit a re track consuming half the day to solve the camera.

  Can’t you apply the track to A Null, then parent the object the track was originally applied to, to the Null, then you could adjust the Null with keyframes for the slippage.

  You could also do it with expressions and sliders, etc, but more work for the same result.
