Point Tracker Controls
If you’re using the Point Tracker, then the Interactive Mode controls disappear, replaced by the
two controls of the Point Tracker.
Point Tracker controls
Add Tracker: Click to create a new tracker that’s automatically positioned in the center
of the frame. Once created, you can drag it using the pointer to line up with the feature
you want to track. You can create as many trackers as you like. Multiple trackers are all
tracked at once.
Delete Tracker: Select any tracker (selected trackers are red, deselected trackers are
blue), and click this button to remove it.
Additional Commands in the Tracker Options Menu
There are some additional commands located in the Palette Options pop-up menu.
Reset Track Data on Active Window: Lets you delete the tracking data corresponding
to the currently selected window.
Clear Selected Track Data: When you drag a bounding box over parts of one or more
curves in the Tracker graph, this command lets you delete that part of the graph. This is
useful when you want to eliminate sections of low-quality track data. Portions of curves
that are cleared in this way have linear interpolation automatically applied to them,
similar to if you used the Keyframes Interpolation controls.
Delete Keyframe: Deletes tracker graph keyframes at the current position of the
playhead.
Clear All Tracking Points: Clears the tracking points in the Power Window at the frame
you are on.
Show Track: Turn this checkbox on to show the motion path produced by the tracking
you’ve done.
Copy Track Data: Lets you copy track data from the currently selected window.
Windows can be selected directly in the Viewer while the Tracker palette is open.
Paste Track Data: Pastes copied track data to the currently selected window. Windows
can be selected directly in the Viewer while the Tracker palette is open.
Cloud Tracker Workflows
The next few examples illustrate how to use the Tracker palette’s controls in practical situations.
In many circumstances, objects passing in front of a tracked subject, known as “occlusions,” can
cause problems. While the tracker in DaVinci Resolve is highly occlusion-resistant, the following
sections show a variety of techniques you can use when an occlusion prevents you from
getting a useful track.
