R20 motion tracking issue

[briankoko 13]

I just discovered an issue with R20 that I did not have in R19. When I create a motion tracker object and import the footage I want to track, whether it be a movie file or an image sequence the footage does not appear in the view port unless I deselect the motion tracker object. This makes it impossible for me to adjust any of the parameters or perform a track and see the footage at the same time. 

 

In R19 and previous versions the footage I am tracking is viewable in the viewport whether or not I have the Motion tracker object selected or not. 

 

I've attached a video demonstrating my issue. Not sure what is happening. It might be I need a new graphic card perhaps.

Deleting my preferences fixed the issue. I've deleted my preferences 4 times to fix random weird behavior since upgrading to R20. Including not being able to rotate objects, icons in the tool bar not displaying being some of them. I wonder if I should just re-install....

That is stange. Did you contact support?

R20 introduced a dedicated 2D Tracks Mode to allow usage of non Motion Tracker specific tools such as selection tools. Could be that this is the culprit here.

I did not contact support yet, but deleting my preferences fixed that particular issue. If I run into another weird issue I’ll likely reinstall R20.
