- 02:58 — obvious uh so I'm going to adjust my move even further
- 05:08 — cm okay so what I do uh I'm at the end of my move so I'm going to type here
- 06:17 — have seen that my focus didn't adjust to my focus uh earlier when I ran the move
- 08:11 — roll is set to relative which it can't do when it's not in Target tracking so
- 08:57 — two target positions because each key frame or Waypoint has its own Target
- 10:29 — created a key frame yet I'm going to create now so add a new Waypoint way

- 02:31 — where that is and set up my move so here I
- 04:07 — pull so I'm now in a position where I can if I wish move on to create my first
- 04:54 — there so while still in carian control I'm going to move my track
- 05:57 — close to camera pan being zero in I'm looking there I'm
- 06:45 — again I'm going to move back in x a
- 07:37 — view just to make sure it does actually run the track is doing its own thing
- 08:43 — to store a position there now I have a nice curve move in
- 10:17 — shoot okay so I have that move the
- 11:19 — extend the camera there back along the track as it happens I don't have much
- 12:08 — now and if I back run that yes I'm getting close to the limit
- 12:57 — that so now we have 150 frame move and that frame that
- 14:00 — there so I have actually changed the curve of
- 14:47 — that number just as well but that is giving me a more curve more of a curve
- 15:55 — nice nearly straight line there and a nice curve there and this is suitable to
- 16:41 — will not change the curve if I have a a
- 17:29 — by changing my move frame rate if I
- 18:21 — experiment so now it's now 100 frame move uh sorry it's now a 240 frame move

- 02:49 — now now if there is an actual change in Direction let's move this out the way
- 03:34 — section and decreasing in speed and if I
- 04:19 — I can force it to put a spline through
- 05:13 — stop because it's changing direction it never if you run the move never quite

- 07:26 — the in the fairings menu is there is something called Curve reversal
- 08:49 — and then it overshoots it goes beyond it it will look nice and smooth but it may
- 09:36 — okay that's the point of curve reversal
- 10:37 — to start off with a simple two-point move so for example if I remove my

- 01:06 — Backwards I can pause it carry on okay I can also make it just repeat
- 03:19 — a line all the way through the move of what the camera is doing
- 04:42 — view okay next we can import 3D rig models I have one here
- 05:50 — is so let's say I want to be 2 m to the side of my rail minus 2
- 06:43 — what you can also do is you can also move the model on the screen
- 08:00 — those older members of the public amongst us and then there's a Phantom
- 09:06 — this is what it looks like from the top and this is my move from the
- 09:52 — is what it's going to see as I run that move so you can actually simulate moves

- 02:24 — okay these are the shortcut buttons so this is delete Waypoint and this is to
- 05:34 — can use this slider okay this here allows you to move the axis it's like a
- 06:20 — move side to
- 07:07 — down speed up a bit more speed up a bit
- 07:57 — run uh once I unlock it it's then free to move okay
- 08:45 — position it just goes to it it'll take my rotate to zero or I can tell it to go
- 09:48 — here on the rotate uh go to home I can access from
- 11:41 — okay uh as I said the menu changes so for example the track axis has different
- 12:41 — region which you can set where that region is but effectively as I move it
- 13:36 — checkboxes are whether the axis is on or off so for example my track is off at
- 14:58 — very useful unless you want to make sure nobody Chang es anything or doesn't move
- 16:28 — to note that whenever you use these buttons here to move the rig these this
- 17:23 — sensible so now if I go into my cartisian mode to move the camera around
- 18:19 — tilt pan doesn't pan all the axes are at strange angles and when you try and move
- 19:10 — before I do that I'm going to go to this Waypoint view
- 20:12 — well um then we've got show Waypoint images
- 21:02 — to say that you know this is uh this is the Waypoint where the actor enters
- 23:53 — buttons uh effectively as we did in the vertical Waypoint display except for
- 24:55 — to copy waypoints if I want to copy uh Waypoint one to here I just type in one
- 26:12 — waypoints so the same Waypoint menu as
- 27:28 — going to that was just going to start that wasn't the actual move uh but my
- 28:26 — priority to cartisian axis that means it will run the move that's here rather
- 29:46 — it because I'm at the end it'll go 5 cm down but then during the move it'll
- 30:39 — so forward run starts 5 cm high and then during the move goes 5 cm

- 05:48 — you do a part run the move between frame 30 and frame
- 07:03 — okay and you will see there will be a small pre-roll and then a slightly
- 07:49 — zero and frame 150 I just press that and
- 09:16 — actually browse which I'll show you in a minute uh or run the move okay so
- 10:12 — browse you either just forward run to go into running the move or you just press
- 11:00 — so I've reached the end of my move
- 12:00 — your camera back on ready for the next take okay if you don't like the speed
- 12:47 — because I can take one step forward okay and if I do that it'll move one frame
- 14:59 — button each time it'll do a pre-roll and a post
- 16:06 — not going over position but it is going too fast over velocity and is going over
- 17:04 — okay these buttons here will affect the move either by slowing it down to 22
- 18:20 — slide uh or shift and that means that your passes will no longer match your
- 19:10 — speed okay last then next we have the
- 20:12 — that the exposure will happen exactly the same place in every move it's very
- 21:06 — do with a move okay next we have the

41. Tracker App Setup (Windows)¶
AI Summary
This tutorial shows the complete Windows network setup needed to use an iPad running the MRMC Tracker App as a live controller for a robot in Flair. It explains why the real-time InTime-controlled robot network must be bridged to a Windows network connection and recommends using a small dedicated Wi-Fi router instead of a busy studio or office network. The configuration walkthrough covers enabling the InTime network bridge, assigning the Windows adapter a static IP address, editing netuser.cfg, and configuring a GL.iNet smart router with compatible LAN and Wi-Fi settings. It then connects the iPad to that wireless network and enters the Flair computer's IP address in the Tracker App. The final section opens the Tracker interface in Flair, selects the appropriate camera and scaling options, enables Mimic mode, and demonstrates the robot responding to movement of the iPad. Operators can use the chapter links to jump directly to the InTime, Windows, router, iPad, or Flair portion of the setup.
