Hi there. My shot has a very fast and short pan from one subject to another and matchmover wasnt able to create tracks on the blurry parts. I tried creating manual tracks on the blurry parts of the shots but the camera would still not solve it seemed like my manual tracks even if it were...

Hi, After finishing the "Introduction to MatchMover" Course, I started practicing Manual Tracking with some footage I have as well as the MatchMover Tutorials "Supervised_Shot" sequence. My issue is that after I create hard tracks and do 2D tracking so far I have gotten gray results only. ...

I'm not sure if this is a matchmover problem or a maya problem but I exported footage out of matchmover after tracking it, and the image plane is reversed when bringing it into maya. I'll select the camera but the footage will show on the other side...awkward...I thought it was my coordinate...

Hi guys, I'm trying to track just a single point in my scene. I dont need the 3D data for this scene, I only want the movement of one locator. I have a scene where I want a baby aliens arm to burst out of a womans stomach. I have footage of her wriggling around and all I want is to parent my...

I'm trying to get a Visual Effects reel together within the next year or two, but I'm running into a few problems and I'm hoping somebody could lend a hand. I don't have much money so don't want to splash out on a low end camera for £1000. I currently have a Canon Legria R206 camcorder and the...

Just a quick question here. I am doing a match mover tute and he says that we need to use 7 points but doesn't explain why 7. Was just wondering if anyone could fill me in on the theory :D Thanks!

I've exported my image sequence as .tga's (120 of them) and imported them into MM (Match Mover). I ran autotrack and then exported out the .ma scene. Once in Maya I try and scrub through the camera node animation and the camera moves but the image sequence on the plane which is attached to the...

So I'm trying out Match Mover for the first time and I've exported my image sequence to .tga's (255 of them) and imported them into MM (Match Mover). I ran autotrack and then exported out the .ma scene. Once in Maya I try and scrub through the camera node animation and the camera moves but the...

When I define the coordinates for Shot 3 and apply a coordinate grid, the screen goes gray. This does not happen for Shots 2, 4, and 5. What is wrong?

I've followed both the infiltrator and the pyramid emitting particles tutorials and every time, my co-ordinates are always off ever so slightly where it doesn't line up to the table or whatever is in the scene, am i missing something? Here is a screen shot of a solve i've done from my own...

Hi guys attempting to matchmove with an fz150 and I was wondering if anybody knew the filmback size as i've read contradicting posts.. it has a 1/2.33" MOS sensor, and I read on a forum that was 6.13mm X 4.884mm but when I solve my camera in matchmover the line goes red/yellow where as if I leave...

Hello I have a VFX shot coming up, I need to make water shoot out of a villain's hands and weave all about the scene. So I've started learning realflow. I use Maya. I assume I will have to attach the realflow emitter onto the hands of the villain by matchmoving his hands, send the data into maya,...

Hi, I am following the aftereffects / match mover compositing tutorial. I have followed the steps taken in the video however whenever I try to solve for camera I get the following error. Cannot locate reference/key frames necessary for camera solving: a minimum of 2 images with 7 points in...

Hello, can someone help me please? I am new to MatchMover. I watched the Intro to MatchMover video and the Compositing 3D into video in Maya and After Effects. I am trying to do a project very similar to the compositing video where I add a 3D element into real life video. The DT tutorials...

Hi, I am running through the matchmover tutorials and I am having real problems when it comes to tracking some of my own footage. This first shot autotracks okay http://youtu.be/JSBg155dKd4 but the second one http://youtu.be/_mHMhjbpISA

*Infiltrator - I'm unable to open any of the supplied .mmf files. What am I missing? MatchMover is always freezing and I'm unable to zoom/pan the footage w/out locking up. Not sure if my cache is an issue? I'm able to follow along with the supplied footage, but it would be nice to figure out...
