Hi Everyone,
This is my first post here and I'm pretty new to VFX and 3D Compositing. I;m working on a teaser for my feature film and I'm have a long track I'm trying to complete in the fusion tab of Resolve 15 and nothing I seem to to can get a good solve.. The shot is about 2000 frames shot at 60p for slow motion. The track itself is pretty straight forward and smooth tracking backwards from a person at the door of a house to revel the house in it's entirety. The shot was captured with a glidecam and other than a small amount of tilt part way through the shot I didn't think it would be that hard to track and solve.
When running the solve command it take quite a while and even when paring down the number of fully weighted track points to only those with good long tracks and setting the weight to 0 for those with a track error above 0.15 my resulting solve error is anywhere from 6 to 35. The path itself looks pretty good until about half way through then it jumps around very erratically. In the section of the track that is "sort of" working the camera position appears very jerky and not at all as smooth as the actual camera movement.
I'm sure there's something I'm doing wrong as the track points themselves appear huge in comparison to the camera track. Also the movement path seems shorter than the path that was actually traversed.
Any help I can get with the initial setup of the track (camera settings, lens settings, distortion correction, etc) and any suggestions to improve the track would be greatly appreciated. I know a fully featured tracker like synth eyes or the tracker in NukeX would be better suited but until we get the budget in place for the feature purchasing those is out of the question.
Camera: GH5
Lens: Rokinon Cine DS 24mm
