does matchmover and after fx work together? furthermore, in which format I have to export my trackingpoint that I can import it in after fx?

October 24, 2005 at 11:29 pmIt should work fine. I haven’t used Matchmover pro, but i use Boujou and Syntheyes and have had success with both (syntheyes is good as it allows 2D after effects tracker exporting as well as solved 3D matchmove data). Basically you want to export a Maya (.ma) camera-move out of Matchmover and load this into After Effects. You can then place elements on 3D planes which will mean they move correctly in relation to the camera move(and the original tracked background plate can stay as a 2D element in AE). I’ve used this technique a few times for matte painting scenes.
Goodluck! -

I’ve been unsuccessful getting the Maya tracked camera data from Voodoo into AE. It always thinks it is 320x240x25fps even though the script declares the res differently. I know the voodoo tracking works because it exports to maxscript and works within Max. I’m guessing the problem is with voodoo’s maya scripting. Do you have a script that has been succesfully tracked that I could look at to analyze against my tracks?
