Axis

Use the Axis list to determine whether only horizontal (X), only vertical (Y), or both horizontal and vertical (X and Y) motion is tracked.

X & Y

Tracks both the horizontal and vertical motion of the reference feature.

X Only

Tracks only the horizontal motion of the reference feature. For example, when stabilizing a clip, you could track only the horizontal (X) motion to remove horizontal camera jitter, while keeping the vertical (Y) motion, which is intended to be present in the clip.

Y Only

Tracks only the vertical motion of the reference feature.

For example, say you have an image of a feather you want to track to the vertical (Y) motion of a leaf falling. Assume you do not want the feather to follow the side-to-side (X) motions of the leaf as it falls. You would restrict the Tracker to following the Y motion.
