Operating the Object Tracker

Select an active tracker and use the left mouse button and click on any of the blue bounding boxes around the tracked objects. Clicks don't have to be within the bounding box, the bounding box closest to the mouse click is selected.

Once selected, the bounding box changes to the color of the tracker and a circle appears in the center of the bounding box. The center of the circle is the actual point being tracked. Depending on how the In Action has been configured, the action is executed automatically or it needs to be triggered manually either through the SPACEBAR or Take button. It always executes on the preview cannel.

Right click on or close to the bounding box to put the graphics Off Air. Use the BACKSPACE or the Take Out button to take all graphics Off Air.

When available, select the next available tracker either through the TAB shortcut or by selecting the tracker from the top Tracked Object bar.

Manual Mode

It is possible to switch into manual mode at any time. Either through the keyboard shortcut M or by toggling the M toggle in the Tracked Object bar. Once in manual mode, hold down the left mouse button to start tracking and release it to lose tracking.

Manual mode might be used in very difficult visual conditions, on still frames or for graphics testing. It is not recommended to use it on fast moving objects.
