Join Amy Leland for an in-depth discussion in this video Using the Action effect to track a clip, part of Smoke 2015 Essential Training.
…In our last lesson,…we got everything set up to use our action effect in the timeline in order to…track this video chat call to the camera movement in the clip beneath.…If you want caught up to this point,…make sure you do the previous two lessons to divide off the piece of…the clip that we're tracking and to get the action effect applied to the clip.…And I just want to point out that inside of this action effect,…we have a scrubber bar here that like all of our other effected editors will allow…us to see just the length of the timeline involving the clipper working with.…
So that lets me see very easily this camera movement we…have in the bottom clip that we are going to use to track.…For the top clip.…In the previous lesson when we set this up I mentioned that one of…the main components of the action effect is this axis node.…This axis nodes control other clips.…And we previously double-clicked this axis node to be able to see its controls.…And that's where I can see the things we did out on the timeline.…
