Motion Tracking

With motion tracking, you can pin text, stickers, and shapes to moving objects in a video to highlight movement, blur people's faces, censor parts of a video, and create an overall engaging video.

How to Use Motion Tracking

1. Import a video and drag it to your timeline.
2. Make sure you have the elements you want to attach (like text, shapes, or animations) added to a track above your video in the timeline.
3. Select the main video, go to the Properties menu on the right side of the screen, select the Video tab, and click to expand the Motion Tracking section.
4. Choose your preferred tracking type: Object Tracking, Face Detection, or Person Tracking. Face Detection works only on videos with one person. If you have multiple people in your video, please use the Object Tracking feature.
5. Click the Analyze Video button and wait for the process to end.
6. After the video has been analyzed, you can select an object to link: a blur mask, pixelate mask, or basic text.
7. Click the Select to link button under the specific object you want to track.
8. A new menu will appear. Use the Link To: dropdown menu to select the specific element from your timeline (like a shape, blur mask, or motion title) that you want to attach to the tracked movement.
9. Click the blue Link button. Automatic keyframes will instantly be generated on your linked object's timeline track, matching the exact movement of the subject.

If you make a mistake or want to track something else, you can click the Reset Process button at the bottom of the menu to try another tracking type.
