Hi,
Have just started using motion tracker and it worked for the first one. But I have others I want to use further down the timeline, is this possible, if so how? Do I just just drag more motion trackers to the video on the timeline or what?
Thanks
@Bria Hi, yes Motion Tracking can be applied to each individual event. you can right click the event to add it.
R, I have not explained myself as new to V, but I think you have answered my question.
Currently, I have a 5-minute video in one track along the bottom of the screen. I'm getting the impression that if I want to 'Motion Tracking' at say 1min, 2min and 2.5min, I need to split my video into 3 separate tracks with these times being individually in each track?
@Bria Got to be honest I use Mocha Pro for tracking so I'm not the best person to advise on VP's tracker, but with any tracker inc Mocha it will be easier to split your video into the individual scenes that need tracking, If you don't you'll have to pause tracking at the exact moment of change, readjust the tracking points & continue, this could end up a mess, it's also less stressful on your system. One at a time 👍
They don't need to be on separate tracks, each object on your track is called an Event, if you add your video to the track, that is one video event & prob one audio event, if you then cut your video up into parts each part then becomes an individual event. There's no need to move these events to different tracks, Motion Tracker can be applied to the separate events.
If I'm wrong I apologise, maybe someone can confirm & give fuller info..
I completely agree with @Gid ... split the video event into segments isolating where tracking needs to be applied and then apply tracking to those isolated segments of the video event. When doing this at the event level, there is no need to have the video events on separate tracks - this applies with any motion tracker whether it be Vegas' native motion tracker or Mocha Pro the latter of which I use. Think of it this way, if you add a Vegas Color Corrector FX to an event, you don't need to move another event (or split segment of an event) to another track in order to apply the Color Corrector FX to another event. After all, Motion Trackers (Vegas or Mocha Pro OFX) are FX just like any other FX. One thing though, add Motion Tracking at the event level not the Media FX level as any FX added at the Media FX level will apply that FX to every and all instances of the video event on the timeline no matter whether split or not.
Yeah, that sorted it. Saved me so, so much time.
Cheers all.
