Hi Lisa,

It's purely a learning exercise for me and the scene was shot at home to test out Tracking after reading this thread.

The footage was taken using a MiniDV camera and the shot was bad and shaky on purpose. I assume smoother camera movements are going to be easier to track.

I ended up using Maya Live which seems to work really good even with the minimal points I put in. I understand what you mean by having a lot of points, but considering this scene was only a test to give me a feel for tracking, I didn't need a perfect track, because I wasn't ever going to use it for anything.

I never ended up using Voodoo camera tracker, because it seems to keep on crashing on me. It looks like it sets up its own track points and lots of them. Like I said I didn't get very far with it.

This thread has been so helpful. I'm glad le_geo posted the thread and you were here to help.

Cheers
Paul
