Introducing tracking tools
- So now things get really interesting because we're going to apply point tracks to things that you might not have thought you could apply them to. You have all this great motion data, and the question is how do you use it? One really great use for it is again to simplify your roto. In another course, we looked at how the built-in mask tracker sometimes works great and sometimes is actually not capable of giving you a result. Here, we've found ways to make points behave better, and now we're going to look at how to apply them to a mask, and also how do I actually even average them together. So if one particular point isn't quite doing the job or if you want something more than position, to combine rotation, or scale, there's a really great third-party tool. It's a piece of shareware that allows you to easily do that.
