‌Goosing the Solver

Small changes in the initial configuration may allow the solver to, essentially randomly, pick a more favorable solution. Here are typical countermeasures when you are not getting the right solve.

1. Turn on the Slow but sure checkbox on the Solver panel.

2. Enter a Rough camera motion selection on the solver panel. Select the direction (Left/Right/Up/etc) that the camera would be moving around the object if the object was fixed.

3. Try a variety of manually-selected Begin/End seed frames on the solver panel.

4. Small changes in trackers, or adding additional trackers, especially those at different depths, may also be helpful in obtaining the desired solution.

Keep in mind that when you have problems getting the right solve, typically the field of view value will not be accurate, because the shot contains little, or contradictory, information. So you may want to supply your best guess as a Known value.
