For complicated scenes, it may be necessary to manually control the tracking process by editing or deleting tracks that were created by MatchMover’s automatic tracking feature. Using a supervised tracking technique, you can place tracks manually by specifying the key points or then edit their location if required. Matchmover then generates a whole point trajectory based on the manually placed points.
In this lesson, you will learn how to place tracks manually in a scene using. The image sequence you use for the lesson was shot against a green background using professional equipment. The green background serves as a typical support for the actors, and would be replaced by virtual decors. The gray crosses on the background will help you accurately place tracking points in the scene.
