View Full Version : Tracking offscreen Problem

I am having a problem with shake which is driving me crazy. I use matchmove to track a square into a picture frame as the camera pans away from it. It leaves frame alltogether.

In the viewer, everything seems to work fine, the corners are pined to the corners of the frame and the whole image moves offscreen and clears frame nicely. Then when I go to render a flip book or render out, the forgroudn element which I am trying to matchmove just bumps up agianst the side of frame and won't go any further. It's as though it's not allowed to step out of frame.

Why would shake show do one thing on the desktop, but another thing alltogether when you render?

This is just another reason why I hate shake. It has the best tracking tools but it's just so frustrating when it does crazy things like this.


Please Help.

So after the one side of the object leaves the frame, did you just use the offset track and picked something else in the scene to track for those additional frames so it would continue off?

It sounds like you never tracked those frames for the side that leaves the frame.

The scene is tracked perfectly. When I click through frame by frame it looks fine. It's only when I render a flipbook or render out that the curious effect takes place. The clip just slams up to the side of frame and won't leave frame.

I've found that if I just place my comp over a large black, providing an apron of black space for the tracked clip to move onto, it works ok, but I have to render an enormous clip and then crop that back down to my frame size.

So odd.

Weird this doesn't make sense then. Any chance you could post the shake script? It's ascii text so you could just post it in the thread if you want.

OK,


I like Shake now.

I may have gone outside of it's parameters somthat in that script, but it's been working very fine on other scripts.

Thanks for your intrest.
