It is PAL DV widescreen.

Thanks for the reply.
It was originally a .mts file, shot full HD on a Panny AF-101, but in accordance with Dave LaRondes rule #1, I converted it down to a PAL Widescreen Quicktime, animation codec, before putting it into AE. Im trying to render it out in the same format. Like I said, Camera tracking effect on, background film has a shite render. Effect turned off, everything is ok. I mean its not the end of the world, and its an easy, simple workaround. I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced something similar…

Hi Roland, thanks for the reply.
Its a normal PAL 1050×576 film, with animation codec, lower feild first Quicktime.
With the Camera Tracker effect on, the background film doesnt render properly. When I turn it off, it renders correctly.

[Simon Roughan]

Thanks for that, mate. Thats about exactly as I made it too.
Great minds yada yada yada….

[Simon Roughan]

Thanks for the reply.
I dont quite understand. Should I give the Building or the element behind it an object buffer? Or both?
thanks again
Simon

Yes of course, it was so simple it was embarrassing.
Lets just say 100 segments bend better than 1!
