I would go back and double check the tracks/keys. Matchmover seems to be having a problem with one of them.

It is a common thing for MM to slow down at 66%.

Might be a bit premature to say it's a 'common' thing just because one other thread mentions it...

That was based more on my own experience than the fact it is mentioned in another thread. I linked to the thread mainly so as not to have to repeat my answer, but also as a sublte hint to members to Search for thier problem before posting a new topic, since an almost identical question was there just a few places down on the same page. Though the poll as it stands at 13:1 does go in favour of it being a common problem.
In addintion I will mention this problem is more apparent with Auto Tracking, with long sequences and many points. A few maually placed tracking points will go much faster and can give a more accurate track, so that's worth considering.
And remember, it has not stopped, it is just taking a very long time, wait long enough and it will complete.

yup. I am experiencing the same issue. 66.7% to be exact. I wonder why this is ~?

Hey all,

I frequently encounter this problem (runnnig on Mac OS).

I usually make sure to SAVE BEFORE trying to solve the camera. A lot of strange things can happen during the solving stage, so always be sure to save.

As far as getting stuck at 66%, what I always do is double check my tracking points. There's an issue with something, so if you're getting that error, it's probably an indication that something is throwing matchmover off.

Best,

I had the same problem when using TGA sequence.

So I tried jpeg sequence and lowered the resolution. That helped.

It's still pretty annoying that the selectable image formats do not work.
