Trackers - I cannot get them!?

Anxious to motion track some of my scenic videos that are partly not so nice because the the wind makes the camera move.

However I cannot get it working. I never get the trackers to show on the canvas. Nothing is to be seen in the middle. I add one, two or more trackers - nothing. Color is yellow, all settings are default.

TIA

It sounds to be like you want the to smooth your footage rather than track it, in which case the SmoothCam filter may be your best bet.

If you do in fact want to track, this may be of assistance:

Hi, Zak,

Yes, I have already seen that movie. However, it was to no use for me, since the trackers do not appear, neither in analyzing motion or stabilizing mode.

Maybe I have to reinstall Compressor 😟
