Phase Control Panel (Not in Intro Version)
The Phase control panel is used to configure phases, which provide detailed instructions to the Solver on how to solve more difficult scenes. In simpler scenes, no phases are required at all.
The Phase Panel has only a few basic elements; its contents are primarily determined by the phase selected in the phase viewport, here a Camera Height phase named Phase2. In the capture, you'll notice that the bottom edge has been cut off, because the Camera Height phase has few parameters and there is nothing else below.
(Phase name), ie Phase2. Editable selector. Shows the name of the selected phase, if exactly one is selected. Double-click on the actual name to change it. Use the drop-down to select a different phase, or use the scroll wheel to quickly look through many phase user interfaces.
(Swatch), ie blue. Sets the color of the selected phase. Since phases are red when selected, you will not see this color until the phase is unselected.
(Phase kind name), ie Camera Height. Shows what kind of tracker is selected. Note that a phase can not be changed to a different kind; create a replacement.
(Phase parameters), ie Camera, Frame, etc. When exactly one phase is selected, its parameters are shown and changeable in this area. The meaning of the parameters depends on the kind of phase, see the writeup for that kind of phase, and the tooltips obtained by hovering the mouse over them.
