Introducing complex motion tracking
- I've shown you the basics of how to create and apply a point track, but it's often the case that those very straight forward approaches don't actually fully work. In this section, I'm going to show you how to vastly increase your likelihood of succeeding with a point track. That includes situations where the source point changes over time and you have to follow that, where a track has to be reset, either at the beginning, in the middle, toward the end, or even run backwards, and how to offset a track without starting over. Now, this continues our journey with the point tracker to where we'll also look at less straight forward ways of how to apply all this data that you're creating.
