How to track a location on a google earth studio map
I have been using Google Earth to generate an animated map and then brought that map animation in the Final Cut Pro and using mTracker 3D was able to successfully create tracking data and apply it to a pen or title or anything else and it worked beautifully. I have a new project where I have a little bit more detail in the map, but it has been created in Google Earth studio. Right out of the gate for whatever reason final cut has a hard time displaying the file. I finally just created a new project and it seemed to work fine inside a new project, probably a whole different issue in itself. The problem I am having is that mTracker 3D does not really like maps, but it has worked in the past and the tracking seems to be spot on until it gets to some arbitrary spot in the clip, and then the pins just fly off the screen, as if it completely loses the track which I don't understand because there's nothing dramatic happening in the clip itself. I know this sounds more like a motion VFX issue, but I just thought I would ask in this group to see if anybody had any other solutions. I've also used "pins" from pixel film studios, but that doesn't work either and the FCPX built in tracker is worthless in this case as well. I don't know why this map is giving me such a hard time. Maybe I'll have to go back to Google Earth desktop. Here is a link to download the animated map file in case you're feeling adventurous and want to try it yourself.
Many thanks,
