Pan To Follow
While tracking, it can be convenient to engage the automatic Pan To Follow mode on the Track menu, which centers the selected tracker(s) in the camera view, so you can zoom in to see some local context, without having to constantly adjust the viewport positioning.
When pan to follow is turned on, when you start to drag a tracker, the image will be moved instead, so that the tracker can remain centered. This may be surprising to begin with.
Once you complete a tracker, you can scrub through the shot and see the tracker crisply centered as the surroundings move around a bit. This is the best way to review the stability of a track.
Pan to Follow applies to both eyes of a stereo setup simultaneously, ie turning on Pan To Follow will do so for both eyes, based on the selected trackers or the cross- selected trackers for the other eye.
Shift-5 turns on 3-D pan-to-follow, which follows the solved 3D location of a tracker, and also can follow a moving object or mesh.
