Record one person with Solo Lock
Make Trackd follow one person using Raise Both Palms or Select Subject.
Set up Solo Lock
Open Record
Choose Solo Lock when the recording setup opens.
Choose how to start
Choose Raise Both Palms for hands-free automatic recording, or Select Subject to double-tap a person and start recording manually.
Check the camera and preview
If Front-facing Camera in Solo is enabled in Settings, choose Front-facing camera or Rear-facing camera after the start method. Otherwise, continue with the rear camera. Position the phone so the person is clearly visible; there is no extra camera-distance step.
Use the suggested orientation
Follow the app’s portrait or landscape recommendation.
Select your Solo subject
A short look at selecting a person in the camera preview with the phone mounted.
Visual guide
The phone is mounted in portrait orientation with a person clearly visible on the court. The operator taps the person in the preview, then steps back from the setup. For Select Subject, double-tap the person, check the lock and tap the red record button. This clip does not demonstrate the Raise Both Palms method; follow its written steps below.
Use Creator camera and framing options
Trackd 1.4.0 adds these choices for Solo filming. Stop and save any current take before setting up the next one.
Choose the framing
In Trackd Settings, find CREATOR → Solo Framing. Choose Body, Face, or Face + Hands to select what Solo keeps centred.
Enable the camera choice
Turn on Front-facing Camera in Solo if you want to choose the selfie camera during setup.
Start a new Solo setup
Open Record, choose Solo Lock and your start method, then choose Front-facing camera or Rear-facing camera when asked.
Check before filming
Keep your face and any hands you want framed visible. Make a short test, confirm the timer runs, and replay it before recording the full take.
Start with Raise Both Palms
Stand clearly in view
Face the phone with your full upper body visible and no one directly in front of you.
Raise both open palms
Hold both palms where the camera can see them.
Wait for confirmation
Trackd locks onto you, the mount nods, and recording starts automatically.
Check the timer
Begin only after the recording timer is moving.
Start with Select Subject
Ask someone to use the phone
The operator should keep the tripod steady.
Double-tap the person
Double-tap the subject in the camera preview.
Check the lock
Wait until the lock box stays on the intended person.
Tap the red button
Recording starts manually after the subject is selected.
Choose a different person
Stop the recording
Solo Lock cannot be released while recording. Stop and save the current take first.
Unlock
Press and hold the current lock box until Solo Lock releases it.
Lock again
Use the selected start method to choose the new person.
