I am curious. is there any way to MATCH animation to a Video. I am interested in make a UFO video with video shot around my home town then put a UFO flying around in it.

I have heard about CAMERA DATA but I am sure the video camera will be using wont have any such thing

Google. It HELPS.

WOW guy thanks! That Blender TUT was amazing.

Hi Richard

Carrara supports syntheyes (syncar) format ...camera tracking data.
You load the film/video into syntheyes, it analyses it and calculates the position of the camera and creates a set of tracking points.

Carrara loads that file and creates a camera so you can then add 3d objects into that film/video
.
There are also other alternative “Camera tracking” software available,.. like Voodoo (free) or PFHoe which needs a plugin converter to convert it’s output to syncar.

I wonder if I can use BLENDERS Camera data IN carrara? I really like that Blender Camera Tracker demo!
