Motion track doesn’t works on object which almost dissapears

[Jim Krause]

Sometimes the pixels we’re tracking disappear partially from view and we have to pick up on another area to track. For example, if we’re tracking a car that drives behind a pole, the pixels we’re tracking are blocked. This calls for multipart tracking.

The basic idea behind multipart tracking is that we select another area to track, without interrupting the track or moving the attach point.

Adobe has a help page dedicated to Tracking and stabilizing motion. Here’s the part that shows the subtle differences in how the selection tool appears when moving various parts of the track point.
