Week 5 : Trackers

Tracker 1

Inserted image called ‘pyramid’ in the video clip, resizing and placing its anchor point circle. Then clicked on video and Enabled the Tracker Options by going to Window > Tracker, then clicked on ‘track motion,’ which provided us with a tool called ‘track point 1.’ Using this tool, we placed the track point on the object we wanted to track, a mountain seen in the video. After selecting the play button, the tracking process begins, capturing the movement of the selected object as the video is in motion. Finally, we clicked ‘apply’ to the tracking process, ensuring that the pyramid image label followed the tracked positions as keyframes were generated.

Tracker 2:

Tracker 3:

Tracker 4:

Tracker 5:

Insert the clip as a comp and mask the area we want to delete and click M to enable mask option and subtract to give a black mask. We switch to the Tracker options and put ‘Method’ to ‘Perspective’ and click play to allow the black mask we created to be tracked. Going to Window > Content-Aware Fill, set the fill method to ‘surface’, and click ‘generate fill layer.’ This way we can fill the masked area and replace it with a duplication of its surrounding area.
