tracking seems to be a little off in blender #33

Open JLK9kid opened 1 month ago

Hey this is a great plugin, and super useful! However, I've tried using it, and while the import/export process from AE to blender has gone smoothly, the tracking seems to be a little off in blender, and it isn't like that in the original AE composition. I've tried troubleshooting with the frame rate and other values, but the tracking is still just a little wobbly. I was wondering if there's some box I have't checked or something's gone wrong in the export after all?

I've attached a video file of what the issue is.

P.S. As you can see, I am using vertical video, and I've had to tweak some parameters to fix that in blender, in case that could be the issue. thanks for your help!

Sorry for the late response. For starters, it looks like the video may be variable-framerate. The framerates for the video itself (IMG_1722.mov) and its composition are both 29.865 fps, and funky numbers like that are what AE gives you if the video doesn't have a fixed framerate.

If you render out the video at 29.97 fps and try stabilizing that footage, does it fix things?

I actually ended up making the blender animation separately and importing that into the after effects comp, which worked out for my needs. Thank you for the response though, and I will keep that in mind for any future projects
