file pftrack into maya

[Ghostlead]

Hi there i have been working on a vfx project,and i had to track the entire shot in pftrack.I had to export that scene into maya for modelling. The problem is when i imported the file into maya i see that my trackers are independentally moving irrespective of its clip.In other words , both the scene which was tracked and the trackers are animated on different speed (they dont seem to synchrnonize). It feels like the trackers are floating on the clip … please help me!!!

off the top of my head this could be caused by one of two things:

1. check to see if your PFTrack project file to see if you started on a frame that isn’t frame 1 or whatever your sequence starts with

2. is EVERYTHING floating or the edges? if it’s the latter, you may want to check if you’ve calculated for distortion, in which case you’d have to use that for your image sequence

i’m guessing it’s mostly likely the first one, but the description you gave is pretty vague. mind telling us what you exactly did?

sorry for my poor english,here is what i did.,
Actually tracked a footage in the pf track.latter i exported that project files (including footage) to maya then i opened the project file in maya i see all trackers are like floating on my footage,.i changed my animation to 24fps realtime.but it didnt change anything
P.S in pf track the footage was set to 24fps.

okay that honestly sounds like a frame numbering/range issue. fps usually has NOTHING TO DO with this kind of floating issue. now when you say you exported the project file INCLUDING THE FOOTAGE, what do you exactly mean by that?

if you exported undistorted plates, make sure the first frame starts at the same number as your source footage, or nothing will line up. Alternatively, you could fix this in Maya via the Graph Editor, by checking when your new footage starts, and sliding all the keyframes so that the camera’s animation starts as the same frame as whatever footage you’re using

Hey Problem solved. Thank you thanks a lot.I did as you assisted followed your guidance :applause: I went to graph editor and tweaked lil changes. And I also checked the frame number once again,. It was starting from 00#1 guess that was the problem.now everything is fine.thanks man.
