Ok, I understand why we use reverse motion tracking, I understand the technique in AE, pickwhipping rotation with an expression and swapping anchor and position.

What I don’t understand is why / how the technique does what it does. What am I actually doing? The tutorials I’ve seen go through the process, but I still haven’t reached that AHA moment where I’d be able to replicate the process in another app or be able to recognize a problem when something goes wrong.

Can someone point me to a faq or discussion on this? I’m running into a brick wall with google.

Thanks.
