‌Layer Rework Workflow

When you create a shot, SynthEyes creates an initial static full-screen rectangle spline that assigns all blips to the shot’s camera. You might add additional layers for garbage matte areas or moving objects you want to track. Or, you might delete the rectangle and add only a new layer, if you are tracking a full-screen moving object.

Ideally, you should add all your layers before running the autotracker the first time, that will be simplest. However, if you run the autotracker, then decide to add or modify the layers (using the Roto panel), you can use the Features panel to create a new set of trackers:

 Delete the existing trackers using control-A and delete, or the Delete Leaden button on the features panel,

 Click the Link Frames button, which updates the possible tracker paths based on your modified layers. Don’t worry, you will be prompted for this if you forget in almost all cases.

 Click the Peel All button to make new trackers.

The separate Link step is required to accommodate workflows with manual Peeling using Peel mode button. (You may also be prompted to Link in when entering Peel mode.)
