Positioning the Tracker Box Manually
 
 
 

When the reference point is temporarily covered by another object, position the tracker box manually.

When you manually position the tracker box, the new position is recorded in the Track X and Track Y channels of the Channel Editor. These values have precedence over the Shift X and Shift Y values.

To manually position the tracker box:

  1. Press on the pen or hold down the left mouse button to stop the analysis.
    NoteMake sure to press below the timeline to avoid moving the tracker box.
  2. Advance the clip to the frame where the reference point becomes visible again, and reposition the tracker box over the reference point. Click Analyse to restart the analysis at this frame.

    Since the X and Y shifts are recorded as keyframes in channels, the Stabilizer calculates the translation values for the frames in which the reference point was covered. The final result will be a smooth motion.
