I appreciate the comment! Anytime I figure something out, I like to make a tutorial for myself to remember and hopefully to help others that's are "pros".
Thanks very much for the clear explanation. I hit a small hiccup when dragging the Pixellate onto the viewer, as it would only pixelate the whole frame. I had to drag it onto the timeline clip, then undo it, and then drag it onto the viewer. Only by doing that will it try to find the object and let me tweak the shape and tracking.
Thank you so much for such a clear and concise tutorial! I thought I was going to have to add the keyframes in individually so it was an absolute luxury to discover your time saving tutorial!!😄
Go to "Effects" and then "All Video & Audio" then type "pix" at the bottom right corner, and it should show up. It's a different looking icon now though, but it's there.
Yeah, I often come back and watch this to remember how to do it...lol. Glad it was helpful! Way better than the old days of exporting it to Motion and re-importing it back to FCP.
Man, I haven't had to use the new object tracking feature. Thus I forgot about it and was doing it the old fashioned way. Truly amazing that this was a free update given how much one might have to pay for a feature like this beforehand.
Hey Eric, great video! Question for you. When I add the tracker, it looks good at first, but then once my camera starts to move, the tracker stays in the same position, almost like its stuck to my lens and moves around the object with the camera movement. Not staying on the license plate where it should. I've followed your steps a few times and it still keeps moving with the camera. Any ideas? Thank you!
This was super helpful dude! Thank you so much for this! I discovered that this same process also works with all the blur styles as well! Nice if you want to cover something up in a more natural way! 🙌
Can do it with keyboard short cuts, Command-Plus Sign (+) or (-), or if you have a MacBook Pro you can do gestures (pinch). "Double-tap (two-finger): Double-tap with two fingers to zoom the timeline so that all the clips fill the visible part of the timeline. Swipe (two-finger): Swipe with two fingers to scroll left, right, up, or down in the timeline."
Get get Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve 17 (Free Version) which is a pro level video editing program. Then you will have to search for an "Object Tracking" tutorial to figure out how to do it there. Resolve works on PC/Mac/Linux.
