Has anyone ever experimented with matchmoving software with Anime Studio? Is there one that can export to Anime Studio? What would work best?

Depends what you want to do?

The best method is to animate in AS - without any camera movements - and then import the animation into your matchmoving software and then fiddle around in that. Otherwise you can import you video, and do it the ol' fashioned way and animate and move the animation appropriately to the video.

Hi qwerty. Cribble has some good advice. Do you have more specific on what kind of match moving you are talking about. 2D, 3D? For 3d I have use Syntheyes (see below for links) for a few small projects, its fairly inexpensive. There is also a free tracking (non commercial use) solution that I have not used called Digilab.

After effect also does simple 2d tracking, but I'm not really sure what you are looking for.

7feet wrote a import camera script. You could probably analyse the camera data from your tracker software and tweak the script so it works with that.

Thanks byanfu, I was thinking about syntheyes. I was just curious if you could export to Anime Studio from Syntheyes.

I don't believe that you can, but maybe someone with more experience with the pro version would know better.
