There are times when trackers just won’t work and you’d be better off doing it by hand instead of wasting the time trying to get it to track.
-
The first steps for doing something like that would be to learn how to model, light, animate, texture, simulate etc. and after like ten or so years you might do something like that just by yourself. CGI is usually a team job where those tasks are split to who is specialized in what.

Then you’d be better off rotoscoping by hand. Or paying someone else to do it.

You are trying to track an area that’s way too big and complex for one shape. Usually one would track and then roto one piece at a time eg. the thigh and the leg would be separate shapes.
“Yes, I technically could just realign/adjust the points manually, but that is not only extremely tedious, but horribly time consuming.”
There’s no magic bullet for roto, there are just things that might save you some time and trouble.

You will need to use a format that has alpha channel support and works in OBS. Also the single clip alpha export is a fairly new feature so you’ll need the latest Resolve. Before alpha channel export only worked on when exporting individual clips.

You’re probably using the free Resolve version where the resolution is restricted to 3840×2160. I can enter 2160×2700 as the timeline resolution in the paid Studio version.

Don’t use dynamic link. Export the VFX shots separate and edit them to the timeline.
-
Best practices on renaming source files would be: Do not rename source files. And whatever you shouldn’t do do not use special characters.

I didn’t say it’s about calibration. It’s about the different video services that use different players that look different in different browsers on different operating systems.
You have no control over this.

Do not use Quicktime. It’s infamously inaccurate. Also you can’t control how it’s being shown between different browsers, services and operating systems.
