Technical briefing

How to use the Track Editor in EthoVision XT

In an ideal EthoVision world, there would be no need for the Track Editor. All samples would stay perfectly on the correct body points, there would be no nose-tail swaps and multiple animals in the same arena would never swap identities. However, if tracking issues still occur, the Track Editor is a useful tool to correct errors.
