I'm getting 30 FPS but really high jitter (20-30). It really affects my movements, the little red lights seem to turn off and on (Like if it's not transmitting the light as it supposed to.) But if I lower my FPS (20) it will eventually get lower jitter (2-5). Any ideas? Thank you.

But what I don't really understand is that with high FPS (30) it will get high Jitters (20-30). But with low FPS (20) it will get low Jitters (1-5). Could you please explain about the threshold? I don't understand what that is--or where to fix it? Thank you.

Jitter counts the number of frames that deviate more than +/-15% of the average frame rate in a second. It indicates frame rate instability which can potentially cause a reduction in panning smoothness. If the deviation is small FreeTrack, when minimized, may be able to neutralise it, so a high jitter number does not necessarily mean there will be high jitter in the output. You can have high jitters and good tracking accuracy . And this what I mean by "threshold" : Good luck . Rémy

You've reduced exposure to get 30fps which has reduced the brightness of the points and now they aren't bright enough for reliable tracking. Movement reduces their brightness further so it might be tracking when stationary but not when moving. Reduce threshold Make points brighter Use a weaker visible light filter Remove your webcam's IR filter Support FreeTrack
