PFTrack Attach Masks to Tracked Points

After doing a manual 2D point track, you can attach masks to the point. Right click mask under the bin and select "attach" and point to the 2D point track of choice.

PFTrack Camera F-Curve Smoothing

For jittery solutions, go into the Camera's F-Curves, select the curve points, and hit the numeric pad " + " to smooth out.

Must recalibrate / solve the camera again before anything takes into effect.

PFTrack Solution Extension

Learning more about PF Track, it seems like if you can't get a clean solution solving for the entire shot, you can solve the part that you know works, and "EXTEND" a solution.

I had always assumed the software took the entire shot as a whole when doing the camera solve, but it turns out you can solve a solid section first, then give the software more hints as you extend the camera solution.
