Edit menu
The Edit menu contains the following options:
Option |
Description |
Undo (Ctrl+Z) |
Undoes the last action. |
Redo (Ctrl+Y) |
Repeats the last action that was undone. |
Clear History |
Clear all items from the Undo/Redo history. If you use this option, you can no longer Undo/Redo any previous actions, but will free up a significant amount of application memory. |
Create Points From Detections |
For each detection in the current selection set, creates a new point and attaches the detection. |
Delete Selected (Ctrl+D) |
Deletes the currently selected point(s) or detection(s) for the entire sequence |
Split Selected Point |
From the current frame forward, splits the currently selected point into two points, with two different identifiers. This is useful if you want to delete mismatched or swapped points. |
Merge (M) |
Merges the currently selected points/detections into one point. |
Clear Selected [Current Frame] |
For selected points, removes 3D information from the current frame only, but does not delete detections. |
Clear Selected [Active Range] |
For selected points, removes 3D information within the current Active Range, but does not delete detections. |
Detach Detections [Current Frame] (Ctrl+H) |
With a camera view and a point selected, detaches the 2D information in the active camera view, or explicitly selected camera view(s) from the selected points. Operates on detections that are present in the current frame only, Tip: Because this option operates on detections that are present in the current frame, it is most useful when you are configuring the first frame before tracking. |
Detach Detections [Active Range] (Ctrl+Shift+H) |
With a camera view and a point selected, detaches the 2D information in the active camera view, or explicitly selected camera view(s) from the selected points. Operates on detections that are present in the current Active Range, |
Relocate Files |
Opens the Relocate Files dialog box. When you save a .cara file, the absolute file locations of the .pico files are stored. If you store the .pico files in the same folder as the .cara file and move the folder, if possible CaraPost automatically finds the .pico files, but if the .pico files cannot be found (or if you wanted to change one or more of the .pico files used in a project) this dialog box enables you to locate the .pico files. |
Increment Image Sequence Offset |
Fixes out of sync .pico files. You must have one or more camera views selected: these camera views are moved one frame forward. Do not use after 2D information is given. |
Add Target Track (Shift+A) |
Enables you to create a new point and a target track keyframe where you click in a camera view. When active, Add Target Track is displayed below the channel labels in each camera view. |
Edit Target Track (Shift+E) |
With a point selected, enables you to click in a camera view with a connected detection to remove that detection and add a target track keyframe where you click. If there is no connected detection in the camera view, a target track keyframe is added to the point at the location you clicked on. When active, Edit Target Track is displayed below the channel labels in the camera views. |
Stop Point Edit mode |
Cancels Edit mode. |
Gaps To Keys |
With a point selected, adds keyframes either side of any gaps in the tracking. |
Remove Unused Detections |
Deletes any detections in all camera views on all frames that have not been added to a point. |
Remove Interpolated 3D Points |
Removes 3D data for selected points for the active range, where that data has been generated via (3D) interpolation (i.e. there are less than two camera views of 2D data for that point and so its 3D position is unconstrained). If no points are selected, removes interpolated 3D data for all points for the active range. |
Rename Point (Ctrl+R) |
Enables you to change the label of the selected point. |
Clear All Labels |
Removes all current labels from the list in the Labeling panel. |
Delete Selected Labels |
Removes selected labels only from the list in the Labeling panel. |
Unlabel Selected Points (Ctrl+U) |
Detaches any labels from all selected points. |
Create Stick from Selected Point (S) |
With two points selected, creates a stick between them. |
Create Stick Mesh |
Using the current frame, creates a simple mesh of all points on the face that have 3D data. |
Edit Stick Color |
Enables you to change the color of selected sticks. |
Clear Active Range |
Detach all detections (ie clear 3D points) from the active range, but does not delete detections. |
Restore Properties To Defaults |
Resets all properties to the system defaults. |
Read Blob Parameters From Pico Files |
Reverts blob detection parameters to their settings when the currently loaded .pico files were imported. This is useful if you make changes to the blob detection settings (the values in the Blob Parameters section of the Properties), but then need to revert to their original settings. |
