Preserving Image Quality
Ideally, you should track an image with the most amount of raw data. The better the
quality of your footage, the better the quality of the track.
Asking Motion for a Hint
Motion can “suggest” good reference patterns.
To display the suggested tracking reference points
µ
Press the Option key, click a tracker in the Canvas, and hold down the mouse button.
Note: You need at least one tracker in the Canvas to display suggested tracking reference
points.
The suggested reference points appear in the Canvas on the footage and in the magnified
inset as small red plus signs.
When you move a tracker toward one of the suggested points, the tracker snaps to the
point.
