The Tracker graph showing a curve for each transform control
A vertical slider to the right of the Tracker graph lets you scale the height of the curve data
within to make it easier to see it all within the graph. A horizontal slider at the bottom of the
graph allows you to zoom in and out of the tracker curves, allowing you to see finer detail of the
tracking paths. Above the Tracker graph, a Timeline ruler contains a playhead that’s locked to
the playheads in the Viewer and Keyframe Editor.
You can draw a bounding box in the Tracker graph with which to select a portion of one or more
curves to delete sections of low-quality tracking data using the Clear Selected Keyframes
command found in the Tracker Options menu. To eliminate the current bounding box from the
Tracker graph, click once anywhere within the graph.
Interactive Mode Controls
The Interactive controls, at the bottom-left of the Tracker palette, let you make manual changes
to the automatically generated tracking point cloud that DaVinci Resolve creates when you’re
tracking with the Cloud Tracker, so you can try different ways of obtaining better tracking results
in challenging situations.
Interactive mode controls
 Interactive Mode checkbox: Turns the Interactive tracking mode on and off. When you
enter Interactive mode, you can manually alter the point cloud that DaVinci Resolve
uses to track the feature within the current window. You’ll then make your track while in
Interactive mode.
 Insert: Lets you add tracking points to whatever trackable features exist within
a bounding box that you’ve drawn in the Viewer. Inserted tracking points are
automatically placed based on trackable pixels in the image.
 Set Point: Lets you use the cursor (using the DaVinci Resolve control panel), to
manually place individual tracking points, one by one, with which to track a feature.
If there is no trackable pixel group at the coordinates where you placed the cursor, a
tracking point will be placed at the nearest trackable pixel group.
You must place at least two tracking points at different pixel groups to track rotation,
and at least three to track zoom.
 Delete: Eliminates all tracking points within a bounding box that you’ve drawn in
theViewer.
