Seems very stable tracking software! Thanks for the update introduction

[@Murathanaksoz]

could you please make tutorials about filmback data especially shooted with iphone or crop factored cameras

[@ThePixelFarmLtd]

@Murathanaksoz Sounds like an interesting idea and we will certainly look into producing a video on the subject. FYI there is a lot of information on core camera technicalities and their effect in matchmoving here www.thepixelfarm.co.uk/pftrack-articles/ . Be careful using phone cameras such as the iPhone for vfx work they have a lot of hidden processing that will effect your ability to track.

@@ThePixelFarmLtd But please, i also want to request you to make a video on how to work with cropped sensor cameras. While learning this, I shot a video with my 80d cropped sensor. So we have to put focal length, and I was confused that if I should put 18mm there or 28.8 mm for the focal length, but the video I shot was too fast and had too much motion blur I had to discard that. So, if you tell that we have to put the cropped focal length or we should multiply with it's crop factor and then put it ! Thanks

Hey @@none53, we certainly will be covering the calibration steps in a future video : ) If you put 22.5mm into the horizontal axis for the sensor size, PFTrack will automatically calculate the vertical size. If you shot with an 18mm lens, you should put in 18mm, not the full-frame equivalent focal length. I hope this helps.
