Hey All,
 
I am new to MatchMover but have some experience in BouJou.  I find that exporting a Maya Camera out of MM is not as easy as eveyone thinks it is.  For instance, when I get a clean track from a camera solve, I then export it.  I import the MA file into AE.  Then when I try to drop a text image into the SQUARE comp, and I turn the 3D option on the layer on, It puts the layer way past the camera.  The when I try to position it on the COMP I use the Z axis and it of course, doesn't match the tracj anymore.  I have gotten close by scaling, and this is just CLOSE.  Kind of defeats the purpose of Tracking.  Now I should also mention that the camera solves that I have exported are from the Tutorial files included with MM.  Is there something with the exporting that I need to do to make it more compatible with AE or is there something with the importing.  Thanks for your help...

The odd thing is, I tried to export to Combustion.  And thoush it was much easier to import it, I still had the same problem with the depth.  Any ideas?
