  • exporting position values

    Posted by Terry Hahin on July 20, 2005 at 6:33 pm

    I’m working on a piece where the client wants x,y values, corresponding to the particular time, of certain points in space. I suggested using the AE motion analyzer.

    But the question is, after the motion is analyzed, is there a way to export the resulting position values into something like a word document?

    This is with a massive amount of footage, and simply retyping all those values into word would be impossible.

    Any suggestions?
