3. Photo Matched model does not Align properly (Photo Matching Effect):

Question:

You have aligned you design 3D model using the Photo Matching system to a photo taken for the scene.  

It aligns in the Photo Matching Effects Editor.  But when you exit the Editor and view the model in the Preview window, it does not align to where it has just been placed.

Answer:

The image needs to be in a 16:9 ratio resolution.  For example: 1920 x 1080 or a multiple of that.

If for example you had an 8K image of  of 8473 × 3728, then it should be 7680 × 4320, or less resolution. 

You should be able to modify the size of the image in an image editor, by changing the X and Y dimensions or by cropping/cutting the image to suit a resolution ration of 16:9.
