I'm using Vegas Pro 18 and attempting to motion track something. I positioned the mask and attempted to track, but it didn't work. Attached is a video showing the problem because I truthfully don't know what's going wrong. This is one of my first attempts to use motion tracking so I guess it makes sense.
@Lentern I think that what's happening here is that you're creating a region that covers the whole screen. You're asking to track outside the region, but at that point, there's nothing outside the region to track. Try initiating the track procedure somewhere in the event where the thing that you want to track is not filling the screen. Then track both ways and see if that works.
Watch my series of 3 tutorials on motion tracking, starting with this
@Jack S It might be as @Jack S says but at the end of the video the thing your trying to track moves away, so you might be better starting further in the event & tracking backwards, or choose a smaller area to track, you don't need to select the whole object you're trying to follow if it's a still image where the pixels within don't change .
It seems that starting the track later into the clip fixed it, thanks.
