Hi Serge,

I like your tutorial and it did work for me, now I was wondering how I could make a 3d plane follow and make is turn from side to side like this website http://www.theecodance.com. I hope you can point me somewhere that I can learn how to use 3d object with minimal knowledge of AS3. Thanks.

After updating my script in AE, and converting the markers for my motion tracking (Multiple motion tracks on the video) and exporting to FLV it all seems good to go. But when I import the video into flash and then go into debug, it throws an Illegal Cue Point error. I’ve spent hours and hours and can’t get this to work. Can someone please tell me what I’m doing wrong?

What do you get when you mix personalization with politics?…

For those having problems with the script, please make sure that you have updated your version of After Effects to the latest available version. Use the Adobe Updater to make sure you have the latest version.

It’s not working… I tried everything… Every flv has some cuePoint error (and I tried more then 40 video files until now).

I believe the problem is the “Convert Selected Properties to Markers.jsx” file.

Serge, regarding your tutorial, do you know a way to convert the tracker point 2 rotation informations to rotation ?

I work on a pc, maybe this is the difference. I’ve managed the problem modifiyng the jsx file myself by replacing line 48 with :
existingMarker.cuePointName = existingMarker.cuePointName;

instead of :
existingMarker.cuePointName = time; which was naming each marker with the current time. so now you have to create the first market, name it as you wish then apply the script to it and all the markers will be named as the first one, so it will go fine on flash.

Not sure what is going on with that script. My machine has a fresh install of CS4 so should be exactly the same as yours…
