Control Panels

At any time, one control panel, such as the Summary panel, Tracker panel, or Solver panel, is displayed in the control panel area along the left side of the user interface. Each control panel features a variety of different buttons, checkboxes, etc regarding some particular area of functionality.

In the graphic above, the Trackers room has the Tracker control panel. Normally it brings up a single camera view; we changed it for the graphic above. You can use any viewport configuration with a given room, just by selecting that view.

Use the room bar across the top of the user interface to select which control panel is displayed. SynthEyes uses rooms and control panels as a way to organize all the many individual controls. Each control panel corresponds to a particular task, and while that control panel is open, the mouse actions in the viewports, and the keyboard

accelerator keys, adapt to help accomplish a particular task. The rooms are arranged so that you can often start at the left and work to the right.

For some rooms, there is a secondary control panel under the first for convenience. Don't be alarmed if the secondary control panel appears to be cut off on small monitors! You can access its own room directly.
