Does the Surface tracker work in Fusion now? Mine doesn't?

PostWed Aug 17, 2022 2:02 pm

I'm attempting to test the Surface Tracker in Resolve Fusion. All I can get from the Result tab is an outline of the Bounds and no video at all. Can anyone confirm if this works for them as it does in the Colour Page?

I did a couple of quick experiments and got results in the Fusion page of Resolve Studio.
Did the tracking work for you?

It does track but any mode in the Result won't show anything. Now input 2, no stabilised input 1, just an outline.

Do you have media going in or are you outside the range of your media?

Good thought, yes I checked that, I slid that in I can see it play in the other viewer. Still nothing when positioning it as 2 over 1.

Same here, it seemed to work yesterday on a first try, then I moved to a different project, tried again and it hasn't worked since, no matter what settings I change I get perfect tracking but no overlay, tried using stills, using videos, all kinds of file formats, nothing shows up on top of the original tracked clip.

Hi!

I've recently encountered this issue as well, for me the culprit is anytime I add a point to the mesh manually, the output goes completely black. Anyone know why this is and did you solve it yet?

I think that any changes to the mesh topology require retracking the whole thing. It's been quite improved in the latest update, before that it was very good at crashing the app if you let the track go for too long; I think it was a problem with memory management. I found that long tracks crashed Resolve regularly, but when I tracked it in sections (run the track for 200-300 frames and stop it, then back up to the last tracked frame and resume) it worked pretty well.
