I am unable to get motion tracker working with stabilization and zoom.
I get a message when applying MT that all other effects are ignored.

The end result is that the tracking is way off the stabilized & zoomed result.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated... Thanks

Hi Michael -

With very simple clips (like the one on the left), you'll get away with applying stabilisation & motion tracking together. When there's a more complex composition (right) the two steps need to be done separately.

PDR has trouble tracking with more complex backgrounds in any case.

So - apply your stabilisation then produce the video. Then apply Motion Tracking to the produced video.
