Bad Tracking Issues

[Steve Bentley]

You say you have stabilized your face, that’s correct (you might also need to stab the rotation too), but have you also tracked the footage you want to comp onto? Even a “locked off” shot can still move a little, more so if it’s film-based from gate weave.
You didn’t mention which tutorial you followed. Without knowing what you have done we won’t be able to steer you in the right direction

No, I DIDN’T stabilize my face. That’s what I’m here about. I did check the rotation, as the tutorial said I should. Here’s the tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Z5ZFuQn4Dc&t=296s

I’m not using any footage other than my face for the comp. I’m trying to put my stabilized face onto a still image of an inanimate object.

Hello? Anyone? I don’t mean to be a pest, but I could really use some help, if anyone’s got any ideas.

Thanks very much.

clearly..since you only need your eyes and mouth and they dont even need to be from the same shot…is to have something hold your head in place. even placing it on a hard surface would help. ..OR just use the warp stabilizer with no movement..warp stabilizer is in its own window under TRACKER

[Tim Glaim]

I’ve actually thought about rerecording the footage using something to keep my face completely still. “Use the warp stabilizer with no movement”, eh? Is there a “movement” box I need to uncheck? How exactly do I use it with no movement? I’ll give it a look.

Thanks very much, Richard. I really appreciate your help. I really want to get this down.
