PFtrack 2011 guided tracking

[circa]

I can\'t find option for guided tracking in pftrack 2011... in pftrack there was a tick. best workflow for me was to user track everything, than i auto tracked with guided tracking option, so user tracks helped tracking auto tracks.

anybody knows if there is something similar in 2011???



thank you

I believe what you are looking for is the Edit Camera node, which you can use to define a camera path and then add an Autotrack node after it to refine the path.

i looked at Edit Camera node, but i don\'t think this is it... i\'m not really sure what it does exactly, but i\'m guessing it\'s not working the same as guided tracking.
in previous version there was just a tick, so auto tracks used information from user tracks and that improved autotracking.

Pretty sure its the edit camera node if your not talking about the user track node.
Your trying to hand keyframe a camera based upon the footage and use it as a solver hint.
Remember to tick the user solver hint on the camera solver node to have pf track take this edit into consiteration.

This is documented in the user guide under the Auto Track node reference.
