User Manual

Once you initiate the track, a series of dots appears within the track region shape you created
to indicate trackable pixels found. A green progress bar at the bottom of the Timeline ruler lets
you see how much of the shot is remaining to track.
Clicking the Track from First Frame button to set the Planar Track in progress, green dots on the image and a
green progress bar let you know the track is happening.
NOTE: If nothing happens when you track, or it starts to track and then stops, that’s
your cue that there isn’t enough trackable detail within the shape you’ve drawn for the
Planar Tracker to work, and your best bet is to choose a different location of the
image to track.
Once the track is complete, you can set the Operation Mode of the PlanarTracker node’s
controls in the Inspector to Steady.
Setting the PlanarTracker node to Steady.
You’ll immediately see the image warped as much as is necessary to pin the tracked region in
place for whatever operation you want to perform. If you scrub through the clip, you should see
that the image dynamically cornerpin-warps as much as is necessary to keep the forehead
region within the shape you drew pinned in place. In this case, this sets up the man’s head as a
canvas for paint.
