Importing camera animation

Hello,
Is there a way to import blender’s camera animations? It’d be great for real drone footage compositions.

Hello, this feature is not currently supported. But I will take note of your request and convey it to our team.
You can also post your idea in our forum: Latest Ideas & Requests topics - D5 RENDER FORUM This will let more team member see your need. :heart_hands:

Hi Luna, thanks for your reply. It seems that D5 supports some other programs’ camera animations, so it’d be really great if it does with Blender. I’ll post this to the forum you mentioned as well.

Hi all. We’ve been experimenting with camera tracking in Blender for drone videos, but when we tried to sync the video camera to D5 we didn’t get the expected results… the view from the first frame is synced, but the camera path is not.

Have there been any improvements on this or are we missing something?

Hi there,

I apologize, but we have yet to incorporate such a feature in our D5 Render Blender Plug-in.

No need for apologies, I’m convinced the feature will be added in the near future. Thank you for replying.

In fact, D5 now supports syncing camera animation. In D5, go to Video panel and create a clip. Then in synced blender, click “Send camera frame range” button. Then you’ll see camera animation in D5. I hope this helps you.

Hi @taka.
For us, it is not working. The animation starting frame from Blender is shared, as well as the duration of the animation, but there is no movement of the camera. Are we missing something?

Ok, I tried with a drone footage camera tracking. For this to work, make sure to convert camera tracking movement (constraint) to Keyframes. Properties - Constraints - Constraint to F-Curve. Then hit “Send camera frame range”. Hope this works for you.

Thank you very much @taka, that worked. :clap:

You are welcome. Glad it worked for you! I’m curious to see what you come up with this blender tracking - D5 combo.
