Most upgrades are instant: the new version or upgrade installer is downloaded and launched immediately. Some upgrades will require that you download a new installer from the Tracker website. Upgrades may include Tracker itself, Java, Xuggle and/or other components. Launch: choose the Tracker item in the Start Menu.
Tracker Help
Tracker is a free video analysis and modeling tool from Open Source Physics (OSP). Features include manual and automated object tracking with position, velocity and acceleration overlays and data, video filters, line profiles for analysis of spectra and interference patterns, and dynamic particle models for direct comparison with real-world videos.
Compare videos of the real world to animations of theoretical models. Students define force expressions, parameters and initial conditions for dynamic particle model simulations based on Newton's ' Second Law. Model simulations synchronize with …

Tracker Help: Digital Library Browser
The Library Browser enables users to browse and search collections of resources such as videos, Tracker tab files (.trk) and Tracker project files (.trz). Collections may be located on a local drive or remote server.
Tracker Help: Getting Started
When you first open Tracker it appears as shown below. Here's how to start analyzing a video: Open a video or tracker file. Identify the frames ("video clip") you wish to analyze. Calibrate the video scale. Set the reference frame origin and angle. Track objects of interest with the mouse.
Installing Tracker on a portable drive
To install Tracker on the portable drive: Install Tracker on a host computer. Copy the file /Applications/Tracker.app (Tracker icon) to the portable drive. To run Tracker from the portable drive, double-click the Tracker.app file (Tracker icon) on the portable drive.
Tracker Help: User Interface
Track button shows and hides the track control used to create and manage tracks in the current tab. Autotracker button shows and hides the autotracker . Visibility button opens a menu to control the visibility of track trails, labels, paths, positions, velocities and accelerations.
Tracker Help: Data Track
Starting with EJS version 5.2, simulations can send data directly to Tracker where it is displayed as an external model. In addition, video and Tracker files can be loaded into Tracker directly from EJS. This greatly increases the potential for comparing dynamic models with videos.
