Hi all, does anyone know of a way of using drone footage in an animation? I was wondering if perhaps it could be used to create a context capture mesh...

Hi Wendy,
In 2013 I produced an animation which composited a roundabout modeled in MicroStation with video footage shot from a helicopter. I used a program called SynthEyes to motion track the video and create the camera script for MicroStation. Then I was able to render the animation in MicroStation that matched the movement of the video.

There is also a Bentley example Augmenting Drone Videos could Facilitate Construction Monitoring that shows similar results. It used ContextCapture to determine the camera positions for the animation render to match the drone footage.
Hope this helps,Ron
