I have been sent some tracking data (apparently compatible with flame) in .txt format. Is this a thing? If so, how do I get it into an axis?
Cut and paste in the ascii file. But it’s somewhat complicated. I would create an action with a dummy track then try to replace that part with the file you were given. Also, not every text editor will round-trip properly. I use gedit in Linux with few issues.
I dont think it is actually that complicated if this method works 
If the ascii file is simply x and y data, you might be able to import it in directly through the stabilizer.
To test my theory, go into the Stabilizer with a shot using either 2D Transform or Action. Using one tracker, (disable the second), track any moving point on the image. Once the track is complete, press the SAVE button and change from setup to SHIFT. This saves an ASCII file. Open the file in a text editor. The data includes a frame number and X & Y co-ordinates.
If your supplied data matches this format, I dont see what you cant rename the file with a .ascii extension and import that as shift data onto a tracker in the stabilizer.
It’s a long shot but worth a try 
Thanks

I think it may be more complicated. The provider mentioned point cloud data? Then Nuke, then said they would save it as Flame compatible data.
Definitely some sort of coordinate data - just not sure what.
Looks like this and continues for a few hundred lines;

What about Tracksperanto? It looks like it can spit out txt files, so maybe it can import them too.

That looks like it should have worked - maybe there is something wrong with the files I’ve been supplied. Will definitely save the website for future use - Thank you.

Ended up re-tracking in Flame - single point and hand animated the perspective - old skool rules!

They probably considered that if you typed all of those numbers in by hand for every frame it would have been compatible. The file itself, not so much.
