CG Effects in DV 2004-02-02 - By TEXIL
Back
With Carrara, fr the moment, you can't export the Carrara camera data to AE
(as other sftwr. can do !)
If your animation is quite simple, it's OK (i/e still video image composite
with a moving CG element) but if you have to mix a real & complex video
travelling with a CG travelling, good morning headache !!
Time ago I've tried with succes to do that with Poser & AE & the result was
OK because the camera x y z settings are (by chance!) the sames, but with
Carrara unfortunately it's not.
Good luck.
