Giancarlo--do you mean the autotracker has a difficult time following the object you are tracking, or that you cannot make it work at all? Have you used autotracker successfully with a previous version? Have you used it successfully with other videos?
Perhaps you could send me a sample video? There is a link to my email on the Tracker web site (www.cabrillo.edu/~dbrown/tracker). Thanks.
Dear Paoul and Doug, thank you for answering. With relise 4.72 does not start autotracking. Instead, it works fine in relise 4.05. At the following link you can find a video where I show that with the 4.5 executable jar autotracking works well while the installed version 4.72 no. No problem for the track manually. I forgot I have tried both with windows xp, vista and seven.
Congratulations for the wonderful software, I use it a lot with my students. Here we have created simple tutorial.
Do you know if in Italy there is a working group that uses tracker?
Giancarlo--Thanks, your screen capture video was very helpful.
There might be a very simple solution: in the older version 4.05 the "target" cursor was displayed as soon as you opened the autotracker, so you could create a key frame just by clicking the video. But in the new version (which allows you to make multiple key frames) you must hold down both the Shift and Control keys to display the target cursor, then you can click the video to create the first key frame. Please give that a try.
Your tutorials are great! Nice work.
I have been indeed contacted by several other teachers from Italy, some with web sites and one whose students sent me the italian PDF help file that you can download from the Tracker web site. If you'd like to contact me directly by email I can probably send you some contact information for them.
Great! Enough to read the help but having learned the procedure with version 4.05 of repeating the same thought. I'll write to the Italian contacts. Thanks again. Giancarlo from Italy.
You have to move the mouse a bit after pushing down the shift and control keys. Does that fix it? Also you have to create the track first. Doug
