Autotrack

Autotrack uses a tracking algorithm to help you automate part of the annotation process for faster annotation.

How does it work?

When you click on Autotrack, it annotates the selected box for X length of the item. X is the custom jump length. So, if the custom jump length is 2 frames per second, when you click Autotrack, it’ll annotate 2 frames forward.

To apply Autotrack:

1. In the Video Editor, outline the object you want to track with a Bounding Box.
2. Select the Bounding Box.
3. In the bottom panel, click Autotrack or press T on the keyboard.

Your Bounding Box will be annotated automatically for X frame(s), depending on what you set in Settings.

Set Autotrack frame number

To choose how many frames Autotrack should predict:

1. In the Video Editor, select the filter icon in the top panel.
2. In Autotrack, enter the number of frames you want Autotrack to predict. This ranges from [1-20] with a default value of 10.

If there is no object or instance in the requested frames, you’ll see this message: We couldn’t find the object in the requested frames.
