Working with User Tracks

User Tracks are placed manually, rather then being automatically seeded by CameraTracker, and can be used to improve or even replace auto tracking data. They can also be used to link unmatched reference frames together when tracking stills.

You can create User Tracks before tracking and solving to lock the camera to a particular part of the shot or afterwards to help improve the results.
