  • Multiple Trackers using Corner Pin

    Posted by Kryzstov on November 30, 2005 at 9:35 pm

    I’ve just completed shooting a spot where there are approx. 7-10 plasma screens in each shot on the set that I’m corner pinning footage into the screens. I’ve tracked one screen and it works great, but after tracking the second screen, I’m unable to see both composites (of the two screens I’ve corner pin tracked) at the same time. Note: all the screens will be displaying the same footage (therefore all trackers are directed to the same target).

    Any advise is greatly appreciated…

    The target should be different for every track. Otherwise you’re applying a corner pin to the same layer several times.

    Your target layer is the layer you want pinned. So that means that you need to do a seperate track for each individual layer you want pinned to a screen. ANd that even if it’s the same footage, each track needs it’s own footage layer for pinning.

    I can’t belleive that I didn’t figure that out on my own. It’s working like a charm. Thanks for the reply.
