Most effects have the same options and these are briefly explained here.
Object changing:
- A static object is an object that doesn’t change during the sequence. The shape stays
identical from beginning to end of the tracking.
- A Dynamic object is an object that change during the sequence like a person face which
turn. So after every frame we update the reference area to match the new object. "Mid-
dle" or "Fast" means the percentage of the new area blend over the old area.
For example: if you track an eye, and if the eye blink during the sequence, you will have
to use Dynamic mode. If the eye doesn’t blink, then the static mode is enough.
Object moving :
This depends on the movement of the object. If the object moves slowly, you should set
the "Slow" setting. This also results in the calculations being carried out more quickly
since a smaller area has to be analyzed. If an object moves more quickly, the motion is
analyzed within a larger area.
Note:
Please note, that the realtime preview of these effects does not show the reality.
Because of this, the preview is disabled and not possible.
On older Smart Edit the preview could not be disabled. For a preview, please use "Full
Size".
