The Player Auto Tracking plugin is an additional licensed feature. The feature allows for automatic keyframing of players within a clip. This creates paths for tracked targets, which can then have graphics linked to them. It does not require a chromakey or calibration to be set in order to be initialized.
Workflow
When a clip is imported to the Paint the player tracking will automatically start running in the background once the import is finished. Paths of players will start to be tracked from the beginning of the clip.
Progress of the background tracking is visualized by a progress bar over the clip. Both the clip and generated paths can also be used during the tracking process.
Re-track players
The tracking process can also be triggered manually by an action in the clip context menu. If you want to re-track players simply select the Track Players option.
Note: All existing player paths will be overwritten!
Cancel
The tracking process can also be canceled by selecting the Cancel Tracking option in the clip context menu.
Limitations
macOS machines need to have version Big Sur or newer. The speed of the calibration process is dependent on system hardware. M1 Macs and PCs with strong GPUs will perform best. Intel GPU is not recommended for this feature because the calculations may be very slow. Preferred GPU is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 or higher.
Currently not available for recorded clips with multiple inputs, only single input recordings or imported clips.
After calibration is defined on a clip, the player paths need to be re-tracked to be converted as 3D.
