Thank you so much, sport-master, and thanks for your great collaboration!

I will explore this problem and write a report. This should not happen. I'm glad we wound it, but I'm sorry you had to endure it.

Enjoy your weekend.

Hi sport-master,

You might find me all over the place asking for files, not for screen captures or images. They do not tell me what I need to know.

However, perhaps take a look at the keyframes of your camera (not shown in the screen capture); if there are any or not, I can't tell. I assume you find them from frame 0-292? Wild guess!
If so, move them to the timing your time code has.

Here is my screen capture while also checking if the features during the 2D track are sufficient. I have several methods. With an even move, I got every 30 frames to add more. If the camera has key positions or specific rotations, I try to find those and add a little bit earlier new features (tracker) to the scene. It depends.

The main idea of 3D tracking is to control and eliminate wrong data. Often, the app is easy to use with a lot of wrong data, but it never hurts to clean things up. The mask here helps a lot to avoid false features/trackers.

I have accelerated it to one minute.

Let me know if you have keyframes on the camera at all. Right-mouse clicks on the parameter, and go to the previous keyframe.
If there are any, I will write a report, as something needs a fix.

Cheers

Thanks for the feedback, activity-chapter.

Let me know if there are any questions.

Enjoy

Hi sport-master,

Please have a look here:
Files (no footage, please reconnect)
https://stcineversityprod02.blob.core.windows.net/$web/Cineversity_Forum_Support/2024_PROJECTS_DRS/20240906_CV4_2024_drs_24_MTrf_01-11.zip

The key problems of the tracking are pretty much all based on the tracking of reflected "features" (never leave those in), while a few had "false" tracking features (like two edges in the distance creating a false corner.

In file …11.c4d, I just masked the whole lower half and excluded it from tracking. Which shows how much the reflective table turned off a solution. The table's paint changes to a bright color as if the coat is polarizing the light from the screen.

With no camera data and lens distortion grid, this is my result, whereby the …11.c4d took me only a few minutes—no manual tracking.
While missing some crucial data, I did not refine the F-Curve of the solved camera.

Please have a look here; I have discussed how to spot the quality of tracking features. Those tips are mostly based on learning tracking from various teachers and many different apps over the past 25+ years. I hope they help.

Hi activity-chapter,

Thanks for the storyboard!

Please have a look here:
CV4_2024_drs_24_MGis_01.c4d

If you switch all MoGraph parts off, you can sort the boxes specifically about their start to departure time. I assume there might be a wish to adjust this (Art Director). When positioned in P.X., the Linear field will start its departure accordingly, setting the arrival time as well.
Set the Matrix Grid distances differently to get them more apart on the shelf.

Let me know if you need a different approach.

Cheers

Hi Rough1,

Sorry about your troubles.

I have no option to share previous versions as a download.

I hope Tech Support can help with the trouble. A wild guess would be to check the "Write and Read" rights of the drive or install Cinema 4D on a different drive.

My best wishes for your project.

Hi sport-master,

Is there any chance you can place the footage (mp4 is fine) and the lens profile into a Dropbox file? If you have the sensor size and the focal length, that would be great. Thank you.

I will leave the Dropbox upload link here for a moment.
I have to see how far I get with it before I can say anything.

All the best

Thank you very much for updating your question, raise-trade.

(Sorry for the delayed reply, I got no email about a new post here. (I ahve to update my settings again…)

For anyone reading a long, and perhaps new to this, the setting is here:

Set it up before caching.

All the best

Hi question-disaster,

This forum, "Site Issues", is left open to be able to ask if access is not possible to the Q&A forum, for example.

I have answered here for roughly a year during the transition, but we have closed this back door access for a long while for technical problems.

Anyway, sorry that you have to endure this trouble. Since it seems to be a hardware-related theme, I'm not supposed to solve this issue here.

Please get in touch with tech support about this.

Thank you very much, grade-scheme, for your feedback.

I'm glad it is working for your project!

My best wishes
