Panels

Enables you to select or clear any of the User Interface Panels to be displayed: Labeling, History, Selected Point, Log, Properties, Selection, Tracker.

New Floating Workspace

Displays a new floating window which contains a workspace with all the options available in the main workspace. Defaults to a 3D view.

Tip: Opening a new floating workspace is useful when you have multiple monitors or if you want to see all your camera views and display another view type at the same time.

Show Calibration Brim SVG

If you have imported an svg of a custom calibration brim, Show Calibration Brim SVG opens a floating window showing the svg image.

Full Screen (F)

Enables CaraPost to occupy the full screen, removing the title bar and covering the start bar.

Toggle Dock Widget Visibility (Ctrl+F)

Toggles the display of all items in the main window other than the main workspace.

Toggle Blob Preview (Ctrl+B)

Toggles the display of blob previews (displays the blobs that would be detected with the current Blob Parameters settings if you were to run the Detect Blobs process).

Toggle Show Stabilized (Ctrl+Shift+S)

Toggles the display of stabilization results. When this option is selected, stabilized results are displayed in 3D view. When cleared, unstabilized results are displayed.

Go To Frame (Ctrl + G)

Displays a dialog box that enables you to enter a frame number and to go to that frame.

Go to Start Frame (Home)

Displays the first frame of the take.

Go to End Frame (End)

Takes you to the last frame of the take.

Play (Space)

Plays through the take. The Play button changes to Stop while the take is playing. Unlike scrubbing on the timebar, plays every frame, so this option is slower.

Next Frame (Right arrow)

Scrubs to the next frame. When held down, acts like Play (see above).

Prev Frame (Left arrow)

Scrubs to the last frame, when held down acts like reverse Play.

Lock To Point

Toggles whether or not the currently displayed view(s) are locked to the currently selected point(s). When the views are locked to a point or set of points, those points are always displayed at the center of the displayed views as you play through the take.

Next Key Frame (Shift + Right arrow)

With a point selected that contains target track keyframes, displays the next keyframe. If the last keyframe is currently displayed, this option displays the first keyframe.

Note: This option acts on keyframes on the selected point, that is, in any camera view. If no point is selected or there are no keyframes on the selected point, then this option produces the same result as Next Frame (see above).

Prev Key Frame} (Shift + Left arrow)

With a point selected that contains target track keyframes, displays the previous keyframe. If the first keyframe is currently displayed, this option displays the last keyframe.

Note: This option acts on keyframes on the selected point, that is, in any camera view. If no point is selected or there are no keyframes on the selected point, then this option produces the same result as Prev Frame (see above).

Select Point (Ctrl + P)

Displays the Select Point dialog box, in which you can enter the ID of a point that is to be selected

Get Point Information

Provides information about the currently selected point, this includes the 3D coordinates on the current frame, its dimensions in each sensor, the distance to centroid of the cameras in each caddy (pair of cameras) and to the centroid of all the cameras. (In this context, centroid is averaged 3D position.)

Rotate Selected Sensors Clockwise (Ctrl + Right arrow)

Rotates clockwise the video from the selected sensor(s). To select a sensor, either Shift + click in its view or select it the Selection panel. The orientation of the video is saved to the .cara project file.

Rotate Selected Sensors Anticlockwise (Ctrl + Left arrow)

Rotates anticlockwise the video from the selected sensor(s). To select a sensor, either Shift + click in its view or select it the Selection panel. The orientation of the video is saved to the .cara project file.

Select Point With Fewest Gaps (Ctrl + A)

Searches for the point with the fewest gaps and selects it.

This helps you select the next point on which to work during data clean. Only works with a tracked take.

Go To Next Gap of Selected Point

If the selected point has a gap in it, this option navigates to the frame before the gap.

Distance Between Two Points

Writes the 3D distance between two selected points to the log. The units are defined by the calibration brim coordinates (by default, all Vicon calibration brims [1.0, 1.1 and 2.0], in mm).

Set Active Range Start (Ctrl+1)

Sets the start of an Active Range to the current frame.

Set Active Range End (Ctrl+2)

Sets the end of an Active Range to the current frame.

Reset Active Range (Ctrl+3)

Resets the Active Range to the whole take.

Set View Range to Active Range

Sets the view range to the current Active Range.

Setting a view range is especially useful in long takes, where you want to work on a particular section of the whole take. It enables you to use the Active Range to run operations on a subsection within the view range.

Reset View Range

Resets the view range to the whole take.

Center Selection All 2D Views (C)

Adjust all 2D views so that the currently selected point(s) are displayed in the center of the view(s). If no points are selected, this menu item has no effect.

Frame Selection All 2D Views (Shift+C)

Adjust all 2D views so that the currently selected point(s) are close-framed in the view(s). If no points are selected, this menu item has no effect.
