  • Missing options for motion tracking!

    Posted by Albin Ernholm on April 5, 2016 at 8:56 pm

    Hi everyone! What an awesome forum! 🙂

    I’m curious to know if anyone has encountered the same problem with (I’m guessing) the latest CC version (or if it’s just me), since when last I used the motion tracker a few weeks back everything was there.
    Tho today tho when I started on a project and tried to hit up the motion tracker I get the track point, but nothing else, the tracker menu won’t give me any options to start the track, no play no nothing, I’ve been at it for a few hours, with different media and project instances but no luck..
    And can’t seem to find anyone having the same issue..

    So here’s what it looks like, and won’t change Arrrrg..

    Anyone got a clue what this could be?

    Cheers!

    The panel is not quite open all the way. Grab the edge of the panel, near the bottom blue outline — your cursor will change to a line with two vertical arrowheads when you’re in the right spot — and drag down until it snaps to the full height of the Tracking panel.

    Haha! Been trying to grab it, rearrange it, close open and finding it in the panels settings :p

    Thanks for pointing that out man! 🙂
    As almost always, The answer is probably just under your nose 😉

    Have a great one!

    I learned this one the hard way, too.

    I hate the UI on 2015, the previous one was much better. I specially miss the dragging bar on top of the tabs.
    Sorry, no answers here, just plain old rant.
