If you have a 360 video can you use motion track to move the user view position to follow say a person walking around the camera for example? This is in a 360 video mode output not normal 1080 type video mode.

I can not test this on the Powerdirector trial because it does now load 360 videos.

thank you

I'm not aware of any restriction on 360 videos in the trial version, but it won't let you import any 2K (or higher) clips, or clips that are encoded in HEVC/H.265. In other words, HD AVC/H.264 clips, even 360 degree ones, should work.

As to your main question, I'm not 100% clear on what mode your final video will be produced in.

If it's true 360 - where the user has full control over direction and zoom - then you can't track the viewer position unless you break the clip up into separate sections and set a new starting view on each one. See this post for more details. You can however, add a motion tracked title or object to follow that person around.

On the other hand, if you're going to produce a "flat" (standard) video from your 360 source, then you absolutely can follow the person around and even zoom in or out at will, as described here.
