Editing the Stabilizer Channels on the Image
You can edit the tracker channels directly on the image instead of editing them in the Channel Editor. Note
that the curve on the image shows the X and Y components together and not separately like in the Channel
Editor. The tracking path on the image shows the actual displacement of the tracker box.
To edit the curve directly in the image window, Path must be enabled in the Setup menu. When you select
a keyframe on the curve, the positioner goes to the frame that corresponds to the keyframe. When you select
the reference box, the positioner goes to the frame where you set the reference.
Tracking a Degraded Copy of the Clip
If other options do not work, you can try degrading a copy of the image until the contrast of the pattern to
track is high enough. You then generate tracking data from this copy, save the setup, and apply it to the
original clip. Try the following methods for degrading the clip:
■ Saturate the colours in the Colour Corrector.
■ Increase the contrast in the Colour Corrector.
■ Apply filters (for example, Emboss).
■ Remove film grain using Degrain.
Changing the Colour of Trackers
When you add a new tracker, the system automatically assigns it a unique colour so that you can easily
distinguish between multiple trackers. You can change the colour of an individual tracker or of all the trackers
at once.
To change the colour of the tracker:
1 From the Tracker box, select the tracker you want to change.
TIP To change all trackers, select Gang in the Tracker Selection box.
2 Click the Tracker colour pot.
3 Select a colour with the colour picker.
4 Click in the Tracker colour pot to apply the new colour to the tracker.
