Is there any way to link the camera from Poser to an AE comp?
I have a scene in Poser where the camera mainly rotates around a graveyard with areas around left alpha. The idea was to add trees and stuff later in AE.
Thanks.

It seems there is always someone writing camera conversion scripts from App-A to App-B. I don't know of one by name but chances are high there is a script out there.
What might be more helpful than the above statement is my suggestion for working in the other direction. Do your Poser Cam first and match it in AE using motion tracker.
Hope one of those two things help. ; )

The tracker would only work if we are moving forward or backward in AE. Anything else that involves a camera in AE would also rotate the Poser scene.

Look for a post from sixus 1 on camera tracking. I did a script but dont remember which way it went.

To be sure, the Poser output should not be subject to the movement of another camera that is set to match the Poser camera.
With that premise you should be able to move your Poser camera forward, sideways, anything you desire.

Of course, but to match background extensions or to add elements in AE, they must follow Poser's rotation in my case of just over 270 degrees around the main cross. I managed to do it but it was a bit of keyframing..in AE..
