Download this Sample Image for practice. The speckles in this movie move a few pixels per frame. So you may need to adjust the "Search Size" parameter of the model (such as Diffusing NCC) to be several pixels for successful tracking.

Basic functions such as adding speckles, modifying positions and reading/writing data files will work from version to version. Save the previous version that worked when you upgrade in case the newer version doesn't work as well for autotracking
