โPlanar Trackers in the Tracker Mini-View
The tracker mini-view is shown here, surrounded by two rows of planar control buttons. It also appears on the Tracker Control Panel.
The following operations are possible when a planar tracker is selected in the mini-view on either the Tracker Control Panel and Planar Control Panel. On operations shown with an asterisk( *), holding down the control key slows down movement even more for high-precision placement. As usual in SynthEyes, a right-click cancels any drag operation in progress.
๏ท Drag * in the center area(๏จ) of the mini-view to move the entire planar rectangle, setting corner keys if they aren't there already;
๏ท Drag * any of the four corners of the mini-view to move just that corner;
๏ท ALT/command-drag * to move one corner, while freeing the other three to accommodate geometric, aspect, and FOV constraints, as in the camera view;
๏ท Drag the nominal center point marker (red crosshair);
๏ท Right-click (anywhere in the view) to key the corners at their current locations, without moving them;
๏ท Right-click when the corners are already keyed to remove the key, possibly changing the main frame;
๏ท Control-right-click to delete all keys except on the main frame.
๏ท Scrolling the mouse wheel steps the current frame forward or back; tracking occurs if that matches the current tracker's direction.
You have more potential accuracy by zooming the main camera view than using the tracker mini-view, due to the mini-view's limited resolution.
