Importing camera to After Effects
 
I've rendered a scene as tiff sequence with my camera is still,and composed the sequence in AE. What should I do if i want to move my camera during the animation and how I import it to AE?:confused:

Well, this is for Maya 4, but the technique is the same for 4.5 and 5:)

I'll be doing a video tutorial on this soon as well, so stay tuned for that too:)

Thank's man,this should work but one problem:
I'm using AE 4.1 and it doesn't support .ma files, there is some
plugin I should get?

ooooh, bummer man... Sorry, but I don't think that anything below AE 5 is supported.

And I hate to say it, but I don't know of any 3rd party plugins regarding Maya cam data import.

However,
One thing you CAN do in this case is to duplicate your Maya scene, and add small, contrasting-colored dots (poly plane) in a non-detailed render in the locations of where you want your AE extras to be.

Then just track those markers in AE to gennerate your data that way.

Just an idea:)

O.k. Thanks, I'll give it a try. Thanks for the advice:)

Ragecgi,man I'm not sucseeded with your advice and it's probably
because I did something wrong, but is there any plugin that makes the AE to support .ma files?
