  • Motion tracking won’t analyze at all

    Hey, I’m setting up a motion track, just like normal, but when I click Analyze nothing happens. It’s an HD shot and I’m wondering if it’s too big to process? No errors or anything, it just sits there. Clicking ‘analyze one frame ahead’ doesn’t do anything either.

    Are you in Comp view or Layer view? Try double clicking on the layer in the timeline. If that’s not your problem, do you have the right source layer selected in the tracker?

    I’m looking at the layer, not the comp, and the source is correct. I’ve got the track points all lined up, too.

    This is in AE CS3 and the codec of my clip is H264~

    I have the same problem. But I am using a couple of jpg sequences that won’t track even though they have very good tracking features. I’ve also rendered them as movies with PNG compression as suggested…nothing. I am using AE CS5. Other scenes track perfectly well (movies) Strangely enough it is tutorial footage from the book AE CS5 Visual Effects and Compositing Studio Techniques by Mark Christiansen, so the footage should be correct, right?
