DaVinci Resolve 12 - 60 Tracking Windows Through Obstructions
When tracking an object, we occaisionally come across an obstruction that interupts the tracker function and throws the object window 'off'. Here we learn how to clear unusuable keyframes, and 'fill in' the missing data from an obsctructed path.
Workflow:
00:25 - 01 add power window
00:37 - 02 track object
01:21 - 03 click and drag to select bad track area in tracker graph
01:25 - 04 'Clear Selected Keyframes' from options menu of the Tracker palette
01:32 - 05 drop keyframe on last frame where track is still good (in frame mode)
01:34 - 06 move timeline to when the object becomes visible again and reposition window (still in frame mode!)
01:42 - 07 continue tracking rest of timeline
Workflow with grading:
01:53 - apply grade to window (optional)
03:08 - 08 apply second window over obstruction
03:30 - 09 mask second window to subtract its influence from the first window
03:39 - 10 track second window (if camera/obstruction is moving)
