Depth Maps

With a mesh constructed from the tracker positions, you can generate a depth map or movie to feed to 3-D compositing applications.

Once you have completed tracking and created the mesh, open the perspective window and begin creating a Preview Movie. Select the Depth channel to be written and select an output file name and format, either an OpenEXR or BMP file sequence (BMPs are OK on a Mac!). Unless the output is OpenEXR, you must turn off the RGB data.

Click Start, and the depth map sequence will be produced. Note that you may need to manipulate it in your compositing application if that application interprets the depth data differently.
