Join Brian Morse for an in-depth discussion in this video Setting up a tripod shot, part of SynthEyes Essential Training (2015).
- So now that we have everything set up for a tripod solve,…we've set our technique to tripod,…we've made our world size 10,000 centimeters,…so we're ready to do an automatic solve.…So let's head over to the summary panel and hit auto.…And that's gonna blip all the frames, and it's pretty quick.…And you can see here what's happened with the solve.…We ended up getting, basically a sphere shape.…Because it's a tripod camera…we won't have any depth information.…We're just gonna have lines of site from the camera.…
So let's clean this up a little bit.…We go up to the track, clean up trackers.…And let's bring this down to 10%.…So that's gonna fix up that.…And we're gonna refine the tripod.…Point four, that's pretty good.…Okay, so now that we have a solve,…let's start to set up the scene…so that it makes a little bit more sense.…Let's go over to the quad perspective,…and let's lock the camera.…And we can use the perspective view to line up our camera…so that it makes a little bit more sense to us.…
So we're gonna use the same technique.…
