‌Click-on/Click-off Mode ‌

Tracking can involve substantial sustained effort by your hands and wrists, so proper ergonomics are important to your workstation setup, and you should take regular breaks.

As another potential aid, SynthEyes offers an experimental click-on/click-off mode, which replaces the usual dragging of items around with a click-on/move/click-off approach. In this mode, you do not have to hold the mouse buttons down so much, especially as you move, so there should be less strain (though we can not offer a medical opinion on this, use at your own risk and discretion).

Note : we're not sure how often, if at all, click-on/click-off is used, and don't test it regularly. If you are using it and have trouble, contact us.

You can set the click-on/click-off mode as a preference, and can switch it on and off whenever convenient from the Window menu.

Click-on/click-off mode affects only the camera view, tracker mini-view, 3-D viewports, perspective window, and spinners, and affects only the left and middle mouse buttons, never the right. This captures the common needs, without requiring an excess of clicking in other scenarios.
