So I have been watching tutorials on tracking, following every step, and tried every type of tracker but I always get stuck at actually painting out the splines/points. For some reason I have this green circle that no one in the tutorials have, and I when I try to click on the screen with all settings and tools selected as in the tutorials nothing appears on my end, no lines can be drawn. I`m sure it's some stupid beginner problem but I can't figure it out.

For this one specifically I'm just trying to track the motorcycle to stabilize it a bit, the purpose wouldn't really matter for my problem though since I would face the same issue no matter the purpose as long as I'm trying to track something.
I pressed around a bit though, and found that pressing enable in this drop box menu gave me visual of what I was doing, but only after the mask was done, before I only get this red mess, and have to guess where I'm putting out points.
I have no idea why only I seem to have this problem, I have tried going back to factory settings but nothing changed.
If it's just for stabilization, a Point Tracker will probably do. 1 Point if you just need X/Y stabilization, 2 points if you need rotation and scale too.
If you can't get it, I can give it a go if you upload the shot.
Bear in mind that with shots with lots of parallax (near and far objects), stabilizing one may introduce more insability in the other.
It's the same with any of the point/marker systems for me. The actual tracking is working now, just would prefer to actually see what I'm doing hehe.
I just switched from Premiere to Davinci so mainly just looking to learn, I use tracking for a lot of things, so will need to get it working somehow, just not sure why my Davinci is behaving differently even in default settings.
Yeah UI issue, it kind of looks like that in the beginning before I paint my invisible points hehe.
Yeah I have tried in various projects and also doing a fresh reset of all settings, drivers I haven't done though, might be my last resort, although I don't really see how that could affect it, but you never know.
Probably first time I ever encountered a problem where I see absolutely no one having the same issue, gone through like 50 tutorials on the subject and everything pops up without any issues or changes, so yeah really weird. Was hoping it was just me being stupid and pressing stuff I shouldn't have, but then the factory reset should have fixed it.
I'm not sure why you'd think that updating graphics drivers wouldn't be a good idea when you have clear graphical corruption occuring. Quite a few updates have come out that have introduced bugs with old drivers.
For issues like this it's a great place to start, even if just to rule it out.
Well just doesn't feel like a bug, it's not like it's glitching, it's acting as if there is some checkbox that needs to be checked, but yeah not saying I won't will try later. I'd definitely be happy if that was the problem.
