I'm tracking a stereo shot in which the camera moves in a straight line to the right and pans back a little bit.
It's tracked fine, but when I hit solve the result is inverted, i.e the camera is moving to the left, and all the points on the tree directly infront of the camera are shown as being quite far away, while the points on the fence a few metres behind the tree are shown as being infront of it.

I'm not completely sure on how to fix this, but the 'Invert Perspective' script seems like a good choice, however after running it and pressing solve I get the message:

I've managed to fix it for this shot, simply by adding another 80 frames to the start (I had cut it closer to the end, as only the last 100 frames need to be tracked).
I think the problem was that the panning of the camera while moving on cam-tracks canceled out a lot of the movement of the tree, making SynthEyes think that it was way off in the distance.
