How do I import video into Maya 8.0? I am creating a scene in which a bullet is fired, and you see the bullet. Does Maya have a built-in motion tracker, or do I have to use something like MatchMover?  
Also. Is there any way to import a 3DsMax file into Maya?

Thanks,  
Nicko.

Goto view--\>Image Plane--\>Import Image assign ur avi file and click off and on Use Image Sequence check box and play. fbx format is the good one for max to maya and maya to max.It acts as a bridge bt two softwares.

Thanks. Will that also the video be there when I render it? And does anyone know about the motion tracking?

Also. I can't find a 'Use Image Sequence' checkbox or a play button when I go to import my .AVI.
