First up, apologies for the repeating of roughly the same problem I posed last week, and thanks to Ian and Magic for their responses. I am still struggling to get my head around bringing camera tracking data from SynthEyes into EI, even resorting to going from SynthEyes to Maya to EI in an attempt to get a useable camera path.
The gist of the problem is this, I have 44 seconds of aerial footage of a site that i need to overlay with a fly-over animation of a proposed development. I can track this easy enough in SE, although my complete lack of experience in that field made that a bit like pulling teeth as well! The main problems arise when I take the data I exported from SE in to EI. When we go ANIMATION > IMPORT MOTION > blahblah.OBM, the resulting motion path ends up with the camera in the wrong place, pointing in the wrong direction, and the camera path is completely different to the preview in SE. I can change the starting point of the camera by manually inputting the starting co-ordinates from the .OBM file, however these don’t tie up with the preview either....
Although I am quite comfortable using EI for photomatched renders and self-contained animations, this attempting to integrate ‘real’ video has me completely stuck, emailing the guys that made SE hasn’t been much help either, does anyone have an ‘idiot’s guide’ to getting this to work as I’m getting sick of tweaking settings and never finding something that is even close to a working solution!
any assistance is greatly appreciated guys & gals!
