Motion Tracker to create a redshift camera

[calm-finance]

I am now using the motion tracker in C4d. But I am having the same problem...it only creates a standard camera. I cannot seem to find out how to convert it to a redshift camera. I must be missing something big time! Is the redshift camera not supported anymore when using motion tracker?

Hi Chad,

Yes, sorry.

As in the post before, the same is true for the native Motion tracker.

An Alternative is to select the imported camera and, while selected, use the Add Animation Clip to the camera; this leaves the camera itself without keyframes but animated. Now convert it. If only PSR were animated, you could write the keyframes back. Some enjoy the copy-and-paste dance, but I love to have them safe in a clip. This included the Field Of View, which can be part of the Animation Clip and be written back with no loss in my experience.

All the best
