Installation :

Put the script into the .blender/scripts present in the Blender program root folder


Usage :
In Boujou - export your camera using the "export camera" button, and choose to export into text file.

In Blender - File->import->boujou5 *.txt

Now the exported mesh and the camera are in blender.

What to do next ?
First, make sure that the blender output image resolution matches the resolution of the initial video.

Next you may have to adjust the focal distance in blender ( the "Lens" parameter of the camera)
Now the Lens parameter is set in an IPO curve from the boujou import but it's not accurate.

If your shot has a fixed focal distance, it's better to delete the Lens IPO curve and adjust manually 
your camera's Lens parameter. 
But remember that the Lens parameter in Blender IS NOT STANDARD MILLIMETER !
I mean, if you used a 50mm lens on your camera for your real footage, IT WON'T BE 50 in Blender Lens parameter !

I have found the theoretical relationship and put it in my script, but it's doesn't work very well. I had to add a
kind of "correction factor" but that's not clean. Maybe it's something in relation with the real camera distortion parameters..
If someone found a clever way to do this, let me know.
