Inspector
Controls Tab
The Controls tab contains parameters to initiate the tracking and modify the results for
stabilization or smoothing.
Reject Dominant Motion Outliers While Tracking
With this control activated (the default setting), features that move contrary to the majority of
other features are ignored. This helps ignore the movement of subjects in the shot, preferring
stable and consistent markers from the surrounding environment.
Track Controls
These buttons initiate tracking and analysis of the shot. Be aware that the reference frame used
for stabilization is set to the first frame tracked.
 Track Backward from End Frame starts tracking backward from the end of the current
render range.
 Track Backward from Current Time starts tracking backward from the current frame.
 Stop ceases tracking, preserving all results so far.
 Track Forward from Current Time starts tracking forward from the start of the current
render range.
 Track Forward from Start Frame starts tracking forward from the current time.
Append to Track
 Replace causes the Track Controls to discard any previous tracking results and replace
them with the newly-created track.
 Append adds the new tracking results to any earlier tracks.
