Many empty frames because of custom synchronization

<r>In a recent recording session, I started to use the sync signals coming out of the OptiHubs. In Arena 1.7.1 under Cameras -> Synchronization I have switched to "Custom Synchronization" with "Pulse Type" being set to "Recording Level". This way I get a nice signal telling me when recording was sta...

Re: .pt2/.pt3 format specification?

<t>Hi Seth,<br/> <br/> many thanks, I can confirm that with the corrected face template you sent me it's working much better now.<br/> <br/> However, I am unable to reproduce the correction procedure: In step six (00:59 in your video), when you select the first of the head markers, the rotation ring...

Re: .pt2/.pt3 format specification?

<r>Yes, that's what I'm doing afterwards anyways. However, as far as correcting the capture data goes, it is very useful to use Expression's feature to project the marker data onto the grayscale video.<br/> <br/> I'm also wondering if maybe I'd just need to set some parameters for trajectorization d...

Re: .pt2/.pt3 format specification?

That's a pity. Thanks for considering though!

Do you have other suggestions, what one can do whithin ARENA to deal with these kinds of errors?

Settings for trajectorization, or anything else?

.pt2/.pt3 format specification?

Hi, I would like to ask whether NaturalPoint would be willing to provide the specification of the .pt2 and especially .pt3 file format. The background is the following: I have a large number of tracking errors in my data recorded with Arena 1.7.1, an example of which can be seen in the screenshot be...

<t>Hi,<br/> <br/> I have a problem loading a grayscale video file (.grs) into Arena 1.7.1 as a "Scene AV file"<br/> <br/> The file is 1.84 GB big, and after munching on it for a bit Arena displays a dialog saying "Out of memory." Other, smaller files captured in the same session open fine.<br/> <br/...

Re: MotionBuilder Plugin: Create Constraints has no effect

<t>Hmm, one more thing: when I actually record a take in MotionBuilder, the head movement gets removed again. Is there a switch for this somewhere?<br/> <br/> So I am successfully streaming optical data from Arena into motionbuilder, including head movement. As soon as I hit record and play in Motio...
