Hi guys,

New to the forum and to PD but loving it so far.

My question is, is it possible to motion track with a animated object..?

So specifically I have a peice of footage where the camera pans up a model wearing a sparkly outfit. I wanted to add a sparkle effect also.

I have a chromakey sparkle but cant work out how to do this.

Is it achieveable in motion tracking or do I have to use key frames or something??

Any help appreciated..

Dave

G'day Dave -

I don't think Motion Tracker is the right tool for this job. Motion Tracking is useful for tracking an object (e.g. someone's head) as it moves on the screen.

In your case, the camera is panning up...

I'd use a particle and set the position keyframes so the blingy, sparkly thing moves up the dress/body with the camera movement... or have a series of (say) <1 sec particles with no motion.

Something like this particle might work for you.

Cheers - Tony
