Track Motion problem

Pawan wrote on 9/29/2013, 3:46 PM
When I use the track motion tool and select the 2D Shadow option, I am able to resize and pan the shadow but the main image object gets locked and I am unable to change the size or position of the latter.

Funnily, if I unselect the Shadow checkbox, the problem persists and I am unable to work with the object.

I tried starting a new project with the same video clip, and had the same issue. The track motion tool works fine, but the moment I select the Shadow option, the main object gets locked...

Is there a way to unlock this? Or is this a system glitch?

In the track motion dialog, see right above where it says 2D shadow, it says, "position'. Click on that. Then drag the box for the position.

thanks, this was simpler than i cud imagine ...

but it still feels strange that you have to click on the "position" word to make that current instead of the shadow line even after unclicking the shadow..... didn't seem very intuitive ...

anyways, u r a genius! thanks a lot ... :)

Not a genius. The only way that I knew that was beecause I had the same question when I started out!
