Hey! Glad you like it!

Hm, I would probably stay away from posture_direction_smoothing, since its implementation isn't that great. Do you have a screenshot? That would help to determine whats wrong. I think it is likely that the flies are too small, and you could try changing outline_resample to 0.5 in your videos. You can also have a look at this config file I used for flies before:

blob_size_ranges = [[0.015,0.175589]]
blob_split_global_shrink_limit = 0.025
blob_split_max_shrink = 0.3
midline_invert = true
midline_stiff_percentage = 0.25
midline_walk_offset = 0.1
outline_curvature_range_ratio = 0.1
outline_resample = 0.5
outline_smooth_samples = 10
track_max_individuals = 59
track_max_speed = 15
track_speed_decay = 0.95

Where the most important ones are the ones for outline and midline. Not saying these are necessarily the values you should use, but definitely the kind of parameters that are important.

Hope this helps!

Thanks so much for the quick response. I will play around with the outline and midline parameters.

I was a little worried that my flies would be too small. I've attached a screenshot for reference.

LOVING how well the program tracks identities though.

No worries! They do look small indeed. Maybe even outline_resample of 0.25 in this case. Your track_threshold could be a bit higher as well, if you want smoother shapes.

Hope this helps -- if it does, feel free to report what you've had to change and close the issue. This might also help others in the future, or me to update the documentation (which is still actively evolving). Not as fast as those flies though!
