Motion Tracking unanalyzed clips from Organize workspace
For clips that are unanalyzed, you can start Motion Tracking by analyzing clips from the Organize workspace.
1 In the Organize workspace, right-click a clip, and choose Run Auto-Analyzer.
Note: Auto-Analyzer analyzes the clip. Auto-Analyzer preferences are set in Elements Organizer. You can select or
deselect the filters that you want Elements Organizer to analyze. For Motion Tracking, ensure that Object Motion filter
is selected in the Auto-Analyzer preferences.
2 Place the analyzed clip in the Timeline or Sceneline.
3 To enable the Motion Tracking mode, click the Motion Tracking icon
to the left of the Zoom controls.
4 In the Motion tracking mode, the Monitor window displays only the selected clip contents instead of a composite
view of all clips. Automatically tracked objects are highlighted with yellow frames in the Monitor window.
Note: In addition to the automatically tracked objects, you can also mark objects manually for tracking. Click Add Object
to mark new objects for tracking.
5 Drag a clip art image to the Monitor window. You can attach the clip art image to the tracked object (frame) when
the tracked object changes from yellow to blue. You can also add effects to the tracked object. For more
information, see “
Note: When the clip art is dragged, one of the tracked objects is automatically highlighted. If you want to choose another
tracked object, continue dragging the clip art over the other tracked object until the blue highlight switches to the desired
tracked object.
6 Position the clip art in the required tracked object, and release the mouse button to attach the clip art to the motion
path.
Important: You cannot unlink the clip art attached to an object and attach to another object. However, if you have
attached the clip art to a wrong object and dropped the clip on the monitor, right-click and delete the clip art. Drag the
clip art again to attach it to the desired object.
7 To apply the clip art to the motion path and generate the necessary keyframes, click back in the Timeline or
Sceneline to exit Motion Tracking mode.
Important: To generate keyframes, you can click the next frame navigation button on the player control in the Monitor
window.
