Issue in exporting camera from Maya to After Effects

AlaaAliTaha — Sat, 06 Jan 2018 04:03:24 GMT

Good day, guys could anyone please help me exporting maya camera with it's tracking locators to use it in adobe after effects,

I've used several methods, but non of them seems to be working as the exported locators and camera's y and z axis values have been always inverted after being imported into after effects as shown in the attached images,

I used three methods, I've tried to import the whole .ma scene, I've also used after effects live link plugin, and used maya to ea script

with no success.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @AlaaAliTaha

Did anything different happen or did you get the same result?

Also, can you try making a new blank scene in Maya with a camera and exporting to see if the same issue occurs?

I had the same issue using VRay an Maya2019.

Make sure your camera - Attributes - Film Back - Fit Resolution Gate - is set to fill and not to Overscan!
