Importing Autodesk Matchmover into After Effects

Post by dwigfor » 26 Oct 2010, 21:15

I was trying out Matchmover for the first time and had to do research on how to import into AE (via .ma).

It seems there's a problem with AE importing .ma files. Unless the trackers have null_ at the start of the name, they won't import.

Edit .ma file in notepad.

Replace: createNode locator -n "
by: createNode locator -n "null_

and

Replace: -p "Auto_Tracks"
by:

(that's replacing it with nothing)

Happy Matchmoving!
