  • Extremly slow on Match Move on 3 min clips

    Posted by Jonas Bengtsson on November 12, 2012 at 6:33 pm

    Match Move becomes after a while very, very slow on little longer clips, 2-5 minuts.

    We doing short interviews infront of a green screen, some minor camera movements, and zooming so, the 2-point match move is perfect for our purpus.
    But it is so SLOW.

    Trying with Blender and export to Motion 5, it works but i haven’t finded the best workflow yet.

    But if it is possible make the whole thing in “Motion 5”, I prefer that. I have also tried to do the Analyz thing, it is just a little quicker).

    Why is Motion so slow.

    MacPro spring 2011, lott of RAM.

    2 to 5 minutes is an extremely long time for a match move – it’s really designed for a short clip of a few seconds. It takes time to analyze all the pixels in the frame to try to determine the motion. I suspect with such a long clip you are likely running out of RAM.

    Thanks!

    But why can Blender make a much quicker tracking, tested the same Clip and then it is decent to work with.

    Ok, then I have to figure out a workflow with Blender.
