  • AE 7 Motion Tracking broken/

    Posted by Kevin Lawrence on June 9, 2006 at 1:17 am

    Greetings,
    I have used the motion tracker in 6.5 and had no issues. I had presumed that 7 would be rocking and had not checked. I can set up track points, hit the track button and have it track away. Then nothing, no response and I have no apply button.

    Am I just being ignorant, is this an issue for others (I see nothing in Adobes Forum)or….???

    Any help much appreciated.
    Thank You
    Kevin

    I love talking to myself 🙂

    I have resolved the issue! Yeah. In case anyone else bumps into this, here it be

    I had tracked (set type, options, tracking points, etc) invoked tracking and then no joy a somewhat frozen AE. It would usually let me get rid of the tracker (without preserving data) but effectively I could proceed no further.

    THE answer (for me): NVIDIA Desktop manager version 84.21 was the culprit. Shut this off and the data flows as nature intended.

    Now I’m going to take me out to dinner, and I promise to be home early 🙂

    Create in peace

    Thx for the info Kevin, maybe that will be helpful in the COW Archives one day.

    There are lot of self-responded posts these days, it would be very very useful to go back and reedit and/or delete our own comments ans posts. Maybe these features aren’t available because we only need our Name and E-Mail adress to login (wich are very seen by the public, like in my signature)?

    Hey, just asking.

    This is an update to the problem: Motion tracking dialog would not release when done tracking (ie. I could not press “apply” or”stop” and I could not go back to working in After Effects proper). I thought shutting off NVIDIA desktop manager fixed it. Wrong!

    The answer. Clicking outside of the AE 7 program (anything else, such as taskbar, desktop, etc…)and Ta-Da, the motion tracker dialog finish’s updating it’s button control. Odd bug, not sure if it is the dual screen set or NVIDIA drivers, but I am working again.

    Rock ON…
