Multiple Instances of Motion Tracking???

[Rhett Robinson]

Not to beat a dead horse, but the time stretch (I put in 10 tracks at 10% speed) does not seem to look at every single frame as changing the FPS of the comp did, although the overall effect is the same, giving about 3 tracks per second, but doing it in 10% of the time (and reducing accuracy, of course). I then changed interpolation to auto bezier, and I think, at least for my footage, it’s a winner, at least for what I was trying to achieve. I did the tracks at 10X speed, then switched back to 100% and applied to my dots. Actually, if someone isn’t going to do it manually, it’s at least probably good enough for the witness blur for a later project.

Okay, so initial learning curve, fairly high, but the process I settled on was to just make one track after another (I was actually working on something else), then changed the time stretch back, targeted my dots (I used a blue dot for each with a number on it), and corrected the 3 that had gone astray. In retrospect, especially with lengthy footage, It would probably be better to watch it make each track, and correct if it goes astray, instead of waiting until later, as I didn’t correct until I was working at normal speed again.
