    Hiya!
    Is there a way to motion track only part of a layer without trimming it? I have one area that needs camera stabilization right in the middle. The rest of the footage is good before and after.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    hey Jim,

    If you want you can just continue clicking the analyse one frame forward button in the tracker controls, or to speed it up you can click the analyse forward button and stop it before it reaches the end of the part that needs tracking and then analyse it frame by frame.

    hope what i said makes sense :p

    Hi thanks for the response Pat and yes it works to do it that way. I only have a few seconds that need stabilization so the 1 frame at a time works fine for it. I seem to be having another problems though that I’m not sure how to handel. The curve it leaves on the screen for the track points looks pretty smooth except where the jumps are but then at the end of the tracking it looks like for some reason it’s moving the clip way out of position in my compositon. Thing is theres no camera shake there because I tracked it from a few frames before the shake to a few frames after so it’s in a smooth area. Thoughts?

    Thanks,
    Jim
