Fine-Tuning Panel

Fine-Tuning Panel

Launched from the Track menu.

Fine-tune during auto-track. Checkbox. If checked, the fine-tuning process will run automatically after auto-tracking.

Key Spacing. Spinner. Requests that there be a key every this many frames after fine-tuning.

Tracker Size. Spinner. The size of the trackers during and after fine tuning. The tracker size and search values are the same as on the Tracker panel.

Tracker Aspect. Spinner. The aspect ratio of the trackers during and after fine tuning.

U Search Size. Spinner. U (horizontal) search area size. Note that because the fine-tuning starts from the previously-tracked location, the search sizes can be very small, equivalent to a few pixels.

V Search Size. Spinner. V (vertical) search area size.

Reset. Button. Restore the current settings of the panel to factory values (not the preferences). Does not change the preferences; to reset the preferences to the factory values click Reset then Set Prefs.

Get Prefs. Button. Set the current settings to the values stored as preferences.

Set Prefs. Button. Save the current settings as the new preferences.

HiRez. Drop-down. Sets the high-resolution resampling mode used for supervised tracking (this is the same setting as displayed and controlled on the Track menu).

All auto-trackers. Radio button. The Run button will work on all auto-trackers.

Selected trackers. Radio button. The Run button will work on only the selected trackers, typically for testing the parameters.

Make Golden. Checkbox. When on, fine-tuned trackers become ‘golden’ as if they had been supervised-tracked initially. When off, they are left as automatic trackers.

Run. Button. Causes all the trackers, or the selected trackers, to be fine-tuned immediately, according to the selected parameters. The other way for fine-tuning to occur is during automatic tracking, if the Fine-tune during auto-track checkbox is turned on. If run automatically, the top set of parameters (in the “Overall Parameters” group) apply during the automatic fine-tune cycle.
