I have been using Syntheyes again after many years of focusing on other tools and I often struggle to find information on keyboard shortcuts for it online. So here is a little collection of shortcuts that I had to look up myself:
Add new manual tracker
When doing supervised tracking, you don’t want to keep switching to the magic wand tool every time you need to create a new tracker. Instead, just hold down the “c” key on the keyboard and click somewhere in the image.
Hide the crosshairs from the image
When doing supervised tracking, you often want maximum focus and all the little crosshairs and other markers on top of the image can be distracting. Hide the crosshairs from previous auto-tracks with the “j” keyboard shortcut.
Hide locked trackers
Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find a feature that will automatically hide all the locked trackers, but at least there is this workaround: select all the trackers and then hide them with edit –> hide selected.
Track forwards and backwards
If you want to just track one frame forwards, there are several options. You can scroll with the scroll wheel of your mouse, or press . (period) or press “d”. To change the direction of tracking to backwards, switch the direction of the arrow pointing right at the bottom timeline panel. Now tracking will be recorded backwards when you press “s” or , (comma).
