Trying to set Reference frame for Tracker

PostTue Dec 02, 2014 4:43 pm

I've recently started to explore Fusio and have had a decent time of it so far. The one major issue that I've run into is with the Tracker node. I tracked an actor's head to apply some paint work, but the tracked areà does not appear at the beginning of the shot. So since the frame that I have used for the paint is towards the end of the shot, the tracked image is offset from where it should be. I have tried to set the Reference mode on the Tracker to 'Select frame,' but this has had no effect. I have tried everything I can think of to change the reference frame to what I need, but I can't figure it out.

Thanks in advance.

I was wondering how long it would be before this turned up.

Much thanks for the tip! I was able to fix the issue pretty easily. I still had some trouble since the track needed to be extended, probably a result of the Mocha exporter setting the beginning of the track to frame 0.

Hopefully Blackmagic will implement a fix for this soon. It's so crazy that the functionality exists, but a script is required to make it work.
