Solve with lens data

- [Instructor] As we learned in an earlier movie, we can solve the camera either by letting the software determine the focal length or by providing our own data but it's important not to choose arbitrary numbers or the solve will be inaccurate. We're going to use the information obtained from calibrating the camera in the previous movie. While this isn't as accurate as actually knowing the focal length, we'll try it. So, we'll come over to our Motion Tracker object. I'm just going to click this gray box here to just get rid of this Motion Tracker Track view, we don't need that right now and I'm going to increase this so that we can see the attributes clearly. Now I'm going to change the focal length to known and constant and then we'll come over to our calibrated camera and we'll just copy this focal length and come back to our table and paste that in and you can now see the field of V change. We'll run the 3D Solver and with the camera solved, we'll lock the solved data. So, next…
