The SmoothCam Browser Column
The SmoothCam clip property can be shown in a Browser column, displaying each clip’s
motion analysis status. The SmoothCam Browser column also allows you to submit clips
to the processing queue even if your clips don’t have the SmoothCam filter applied.
To display the SmoothCam Browser column:
m In the Browser, Control-click in any column, then choose SmoothCam from the
shortcut menu.
You can also view the SmoothCam property in the Item Properties window.
To display the SmoothCam property in the Item Properties window:
1 Select a clip in the Browser or Timeline.
2 Choose Edit > Item Properties > Format (or press Command-9).
The SmoothCam property appears as a row in the Item Properties window.
Starting and Stopping SmoothCam Motion Analysis
If you want to free up processing power to work on other things, you can stop motion
analysis or temporarily pause analysis and then resume it again later. You can also
submit clips to the processing queue, regardless of whether the SmoothCam filter is
applied to them.
To remove clips from the SmoothCam Analysis processing queue:
1 Make sure the SmoothCam column is shown in the Browser.
2 Select one or more clips in the Browser.
3 Control-click in the SmoothCam column next to one of the selected clips, then choose
Stop Analysis from the shortcut menu.
Analysis for all selected clips is stopped. Analysis begins on the next clip in the queue.
Note: Motion analysis is applied to media files, not clips. Therefore, deleting a clip
doesn’t stop motion analysis for its media file.
