Cinema Window

The Cinema Window displays a 'through-the-camera-lens' view of the media and any 2D or 3D data generated during the tracking process.

When a node is activated in the Workpage, it will automatically display its media in the Cinema window. If multiple inputs are connected to the node, each containing a different clip, controls in the node editor can be used to change which media is displayed. Further details are given the Node Reference documentation where appropriate.

When viewing a movie clip or image sequence, the Movie Playback are visible underneath the Cinema window. These contain a scrub bar and additional playback controls to play the movie or step through frame-by-frame.

When viewing a photo collection, the scrub bar is replaced by the Photo Navigation controls. This displays the photo thumbnails and can be used to navigate directly to a specific photo.
