Found the problem. I had the source video layer’s 3D sw= itch turned on, which makes the layer go nuts after you add text and 3D cam= era.

[Sorry if this double posts]

 

I’ve been st= udying Brian Maffitt’s 3D camera tracker video  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DM= 9ZeG7-QdSo  and comparing my own results with a clip I shot with a= Glidecam system rotating around a basket sitting on a countertop.  I = get entirely different results than those shown in Brian’s video.

 

A= fter analyzing/solving my clip by way of “Track Camera”, then p= icking the tracking points that create a target plane of the correct orient= ation, then right-clicking that target and choosing Create Text and Camera,= things go incredibly different than as shown in Brian’s video at 3:3= 0. In my clip’s case, after applying text and camera, if I then scrub= through the comp my video clip layer wildly moves around and goes off scre= en, revealing the black background, yet with all the tracking points and my= new text layer correctly in place.  I find myself needing to replace = the original video layer from which the tracking points were obtained becau= se the original layer took off, flying around as if it was constrained to s= ome imaginary null that is now the 3D camera’s point of interest.

 

V= ery annoying.  I’m doing the exact same things as shown in Brian= ’s video, but Brian’s layer of the tree limb does not start mov= ing around after adding text and camera.  In Brian’s video, when= he adds Create Text and Camera, his text is immediately visible in the sce= ne, In my case, I see a text box, but no text. The text is actually laying = behind my video layer. Very puzzling.

 

Any explanation?
