Can you make it possible to select several curves at once in the graph so that, for example, if necessary, all three lines are smoothed at once. In older versions of pftrack it was possible, but in the new version only one curves at a time has to be selected, which takes a lot of time.
Can you make it show the focal length of the sensor in the solver when the option is set to unknown? in older versions these two options were displayed.
I'm a +1 on this, especially for the "estimated" focal length with "unknown" footage. I remember how helpfult this was years ago when I was starting to use PFTrack and before it was changed. I've gotten used to going to the solver log (the workaround to the UI change) but still think this would be helpful to add the estimate from the standpoint of not having to click around the UI to see a result. If it's a matter of not confusing the user between known/unknown, I actually think it would be great to have it color coded to indicate the difference between known (white text) and maybe unknown (blue?), something similar to the active sensor size in the Camera Sensor Database window. I'd be curious for other users to give feedback on this.
I liked my old subscription model - relatively little to pay each month, and full software functionality. However, I've upgraded to the studio edition (I had no choice) and then discovered that I cannot open any of the hundreds of pftrack files I have saved. Does anyone have a workaround, or is my world going to collapse 6 days from now???
Follow up: My question was answered in the Transition FAQ's. Old personal subscription files cannot be opened in any of the new options. In addition, since I generated a discount code, my old personal account will be deleted in 6 days. This is very disappointing.
Hi!
Is it possible to get the full user manual for PFTrack in PDF format? I find the lack of a search feature for the documentation a bit frustrating. I'm a new user trying to find information on the "Motion Metadata" settings, but the integrated AI knew nothing about those, google finds zero results on the topic and there is no apparent way to search the online manual. Any chance of getting the manual in PDF form?
Thanks for your helpful reply! I missed the search field in the app, knowing about it helps.
Hello Zlajokv,
We made some updates to the ‘Curves Editor’ several years ago, since it’s intended for fine-tuning, curves are selected and edited individually because often a single smoothing operation isn't suitable for all the curves and you have better control when adjusting them separately.
If your goal is simply to smooth everything globally, for example, all translation or rotation parameter curves together, you can do that much more quickly using the Translation and Rotation Smoothing controls in the Solving Parameters. That way you get the overall smoothing you need without having to work through each curve one by one.
