Interface
Movie file Selects and opens the movie that will be tracked. You can open
any image file format that 3ds Max supports. If you use sequential still-image
files, you will use an .ifl (image file list) file. You can create the .ifl file using
the IFL Manager or using any bitmap selector dialog by choosing Sequence.
When you open the movie file, it’s displayed in a Movie window.
Display Movie Reopens a closed or minimized Movie window. You use the
Movie window to setup and adjust feature tracking gizmos and to browse
through the movie. For more details on working with the Movie window, see
Motion Tracker rollout on page 3830.
Show frame Allows you to step through the movie displayed in the Movie
window. Alternatively, use the Movie Stepper rollout, which provides
additional browsing controls.
Deinterlace Causes the tracker to apply a video deinterlacing filter to the
movie frames. If the movie comes from a video source and the features you’re
tracking show marked interlacing, you should deinterlace the video to improve
tracking accuracy. If the movie was digitized from film, you should not perform
deinterlacing because the results will be less accurate. The deinterlacing is
performed temporarily on loaded frames and doesn’t affect the original movie
file.
Off Disables deinterlacing. When no filtering is required click this.
