The SmoothCam Browser Column

The SmoothCam clip property can be shown in a Browser column, displaying each clip’s
motion analysis status. The SmoothCam Browser column also allows you to submit clips
to the processing queue even if your clips don’t have the SmoothCam filter applied.

To display the SmoothCam Browser column in the Browser, Control-click in any column,
then choose SmoothCam from the shortcut menu.

You can also view the SmoothCam property in the Item Properties window. To display
the SmoothCam property in the Item Properties window, select a clip in the Browser or
Timeline, then choose Edit > Item Properties > Format (or press Command-9.)

Starting and Stopping SmoothCam Motion Analysis

If you want to free up processing power to work on other things, you can stop motion
analysis or temporarily pause analysis and then resume it again later. You can also submit
clips to the processing queue, regardless of whether the SmoothCam filter is applied to
them.
