Thanks for your advice, Mike. I did steps 1-4, but that's where I sort of got stuck. When my camera moves, my object kind of tracks the image, but it's sometimes wildly off, probably because it's much closer or further in motion-tracked space than it should be. But I had a hard time trying to place the objects in the 3D space. Is it supposed to be possible import a cloud of points or something to act as a reference?
Plus, my imported camera is pointed downward, which makes it that much harder to imagine how to place objects (Is it possible to rotate the camera to a normal position for hundreds of frames?
In the meantime I tried Icarus, which has a nice set of motion tracking features too. But the V2C utility can't open the .ma files created by Icarus. So another obstacle.
I wish Eovia still existed. I could ask them.
