I haven't used planar tracker since I updated to v17, it's been a long time since I last used it but anyway I tried using it now and when I click track to end, it just sits there doing nothing. And then when I try to click something else, like say "set" just to see if it is even doing anything, it says "wait till render completes" but isn't moving a single frame. Anyone else have this issue?

I've the same problem. Tried everything but no possibility!
It worked before on 17.4, nothing changed on my PC.
Perhaps a bug.

I don't use it often either, but I just tested based on this post. I tried several different settings (point, hybrid...transition, perspective... even luma, green) and in each case was able to do a successful track. I was using BRAW footage.

I have the same issue. Also trying with many different settings. (try each mode, change from GPU to CPU, change Motion Type, change Track-Channel)

The behavior is that in the console the "render starts" but never finished. I have a full AMD system. Maybe this is a hint for the bug:

Are you on Beta 7, Earl? I was also using BRAW footage.

Okay, then I'm not exactly sure why you're not having this issue but I and Dirk are.

Planar and normal tracker in fusion have been causing big havoc, but I only noticed it recently on a project that required it for almost every clip, so I cannot say if it's due to a beta or DR17 in general, or the NVidea drivers, or this latest windows update junk that came out shortly after the new year.
The program allows me to place the points in the areas I want to track, set the reference frame, and then when I track forward or backward it's a basic crash of the whole program in the end....
I was on h264 and 5 footage so it seems that it's not just one type of codec.
I think it was beta 6

And a project with a ton of fusion clips where this happens in the timeline called "telephone"

I've just done a 30 second facial track with the planar tracker in Beta 7, so it's definitely not broken for everyone.

One thing I did notice is that if you're working with a timeline clip, you still need to remember to manually set the starting/reference frame for the track, because otherwise it defaults to 0 which is usually not where the clip is in 'Resolve time' (for lack of a better word). That's something that's easy to overlook.

Did you guys remember to set it?

It works for me too, when I start a new project ONLY for doing any type of tracking in fusion.

But whenever I have an existing project, with color grades and such, it just won't do it......

Just tried again based on this post. Pulled up an old project (pre-version 17) and tested using a couple different options. This time it was H.264 footage. Was able to get successful tracks each time.

Just tried it on a small test project that was created under v17, on a clip with Color grading, and it tracks properly. This is on a Mac, so using AMD. I forget the footage codec, but it was recorded on an iPhone, if that matters.

So it works for some people, doesn't work for others for some odd reason. That is weird. I tried again and I know I am not doing it wrong because this isn't the first time I am using the Planar Tracker.

I tested the planar tracker on Prores footage and its fine.
There was a problem with 2D tracker on previous Beta version but its working now.

Have you posted your system specs? Is it a Windows v. Mac thing? Or a Windows 9 v. Windows 10 thing? Or an AMD v . NVIDIA thing? It's conceivable it's a codec thing (which would be related to the above), but I think unlikely.

It's probably not random, we just need to bring together enough information about systems on which it works and on which it doesn't work to see the pattern.

For me the planar tracker didn't work either (wouldn't start tracking) in an existing project (Mac OS, latest beta of DR Studio). I then opened the clip in question in a new empty project and it did work. Tried it in the other project again and it still didn't work. So I rendered it in the new project and added the file to the other project.

YES! same. Perhaps you can't run any fusion trackers in old projects that were originally created in earlier 17 betas. But if you create a new project for the sole purpose of tracking and copy the clip, voila....

Ooo, that's another good way to slice it: existing project versus new project.

I am encountering the same issue with Beta 7. When I clicked on the track to end, the tracker only tracks for one frame and that was that. The project was created on Jan 17th so I guess it was created with Beta 6 instead of 7.

Actually I have just figured out what my issue was. The area I selected for tracking was probably too small. I selected a larger area and then it was able to work.

Hello to everyone, this is my very first post and I don't know what I'm doing. My planar tracker seems to be glitching and I have no idea why.

I'm using Version 16.2.8.005

Here's a video:

Why are you using green channel for tracking ?
Leave it in default setting (LUMA).

I've got the same problem with the Planar tracker, using DaVinci Resolve 17.1.1., latest Windows and nVidia updates too.

What happens:
I put in the tracker node, make the shape I want to track, set the time hit the track button and nothing. The tracker doesn't track it just sits there.

Did anybody find any solution or just waited for a fix?

Just throwing in my 2 cents.

Having the same issue, oddly enough on a clip that I had already done a bunch of tracking on. I think I was successful in 17.1 but now it just sits in 17.1.1? Really annoying.

This is on mac, running Catalina.

TLDR: Disable all the color grading on the clip going into fusion.

I had the same issue today. Tracking on a clip didn't work in an existing project. The same clip in a new project could successfully track.

So I went back and could get it to work in the original project with these changes:
On the clip I want to track, I did object removal in the color tab. When I disabled the node with the object removal the tracking did work.

.. One of those typical DR bugs ... DR 17.1.1 Build 9

Ok, It didn't work when the clip was part of a fusion clip.
When I opened it in timeline and worked on the specific clip individually it worked.

Bug still exists. I'm on a Win 10, DR v17.3.1 build 5 nVidia drivers 472.12 and it works OK when clip speed is 100% With any clip that has speed different than 100% it start to behave like it was mentioned in the first post - it doesn't move and it allows me to switch to another tab, but if I want to delete planar tracker node in the fusion tab I got the message that planar tracker is working.

We diagnosed an issue the other day in another thread, where the problem is caused by trying to track in a Fusion Clip, where the source media (inside the Fusion Clip) has Optical Flow enabled on it, and some FPS adjustments are occurring (eg because of speed changes, or because of using different-FPS media.)

Might that be the same for you?

Here's the other thread:

It may also happen when Color page Noise Reduction is involved. Basically, any temporal effects.
