Problems with autofill/ interpolation

Hi

Not sure if this is an issue that anyone else has encountered:

I have ben using tracker to track a series of limb movements, and in doing so I track every 10th frame. Once finished I use the Autofill feature to interpolate the missing points. However, recently this feature hasn't been working consistently. For example, I will start one project file and the autofill option will work, but once I start another project it won't. Any advice onw hat I may be doing wrong?

p.s. I have checked the preferences to ensure that the feature is ticked. Seems to be no difference in the setting between one project file that work and one that doesn't (as far as i'm aware).

Cheers
John

Hi John, does it always work for some projects and never for some others, or is it more random? If it depends on the particular project file, you could attach one for which it does NOT work and I will see if I can reproduce it on my machine.  Doug

I have had Tracker glitches that were had to reproduce that were caused by not allocating sufficient Java memory.  Setting the memory size to 512 MB  in the Edit | Preferences | Memory size fixed the problem.
