    I don’t eally get what you are trying to say here. if the billboard is interfering with your other stuff, simply make it come in later. Not sure what you are doing, but it may be inevitable to create a few manual keyframes. The tracker who can track invisible things has yet to be invented.

    il try explaining again..lets say you got a shot of a bulding and the camera is panning from left side to the right side,as you play it you see the building and then it goes to the left,what i wanna do is put no matter what lets take for exmaple any object(flowers) and i want to put it in the movie using the traker that it will play and wont move so i put 1 position traker and analayze and apply now when i play the movie all works fine ,the problem starts when i wanna put another traker in the end of the movie in the right side with another object so i put another position traker (analayze/apply) and then the first traker still works but when i start playing the movie i see the right object still in the left side of the frame and gets to it position on when i see it its not just there.

    I still don’t get what you are trying to say, but presumably you are trying to apply two different trackers to the same layer. This dooes not work. You need to have individual duplicates for each tracker, the reason being that each track results in completely different values and overwrites others.

    Translation problem? Urban-German-Aramaic to English?

    We’d love to help but you’re not writing a description any of us can read. You may need to review several different tutorials on tracking before you can use it in this situation.

    Try rendering out your first movie tracker 1 and then reimport it to use with tracker 2.

    Ttraking is rilly and troolie hard, even in AE7. Irregardlessably of how much u wanta due it, traking takes lots and lotz of praktis.
