Understanding the Analyze, Reset, and Apply controls (Pro only)

You use the Analyze, Reset, and Apply controls only when you are ready to begin tracking.The Analyze controls initiate tracking, while the Reset and Apply controls either delete the tracking data or apply it to the target layer.

Analyze

Begins the frame-to-frame analysis of the position or angle of rotation of the track point (or points). Use the following controls for Analyze:

• Step Back  to analyze the current frame by stepping back to the previous frame.
• Analyze Backward  to analyze from the current-time indicator backward to the beginning of the work area or footage.
• Analyze Forward  to analyze from the current-time indicator to the end of the work area or footage.
• Step Forward  to analyze the current frame by advancing to the next frame.

Reset

Restores the feature region, search region, and attach point to their default positions and deletes the tracking data from the currently selected track. Tracker Control settings and keyframes already applied to the target layer remain unchanged.

Note: The Analyze Backward and Analyze Forward buttons change to a Stop button  while analysis is in progress.

Apply

Sends the tracking data (in the form of keyframes) to the target layer or effect control point.
