Importing Cam From Boujou

[terraformers]

after tracking the cam movement of my cam, i exported the camera to maya.

the cam movement is a bit more shaky than the original footage.
i am trying to find out what is causing this, is it boujou or maya???

sounds like a bad track in Boujou. I don't see how maya can be at fault.

Oh, one thing I thought of. Boujou likes to stupidly default to a start frame of 1(unless you change it) and maya always starts at frame 1. If this is true then go into the graph editor and move the animation for the camera 1 frame forward.

what do you mean by bad traking in Boujou?
the automatic tracking whent fine and i like the overall movement, it's just a little bit more shaky.

could it be that playblasting in wireframe gives this feeling but once you render, it's less shaky?

could buy unless your plate is really really low resolution i doubt it. Yes i think your track is not accurate enough.

It means you did a bad job tracking the shot in Boujou. Maybe there are too many objects in the shot moving independently from the camera move and you need to mask them out. It could be a number of different things.
