Sony Vegas and Media Studio Yep, I know they're not related, but they both fall in the Premiere Alternative bracket in my humble opinion! Post here for Ulead Media Studio or Vegas video problems or pointers...

Default motion tracking in vegas?

hey all,

What I am doing right now - painfully manually - with 'track motion' is this:

- shoot a track of s character in a 3d world
- create a track of the face only with a green screen
- animate that face in another application
- bring that face back into vegas on another track
- chroma key so that face is ON TOP of the original

as the character moves around in the first shot, i use track motion to create keyframes to line up the head of the newly imported one with the old head. it's a painful and time consuming process -

does anyone know of a automatic motion tracking method to do this? i have seen a plugin called BORIS FX but for the life of me coulnd't get the demo to do what i wanted - anyone have a tip to save me years of my life and some hair?

Cheers,

Telemole

Not sure how your tracks are working but using parent -child relations in motion track can help reduce work.

Have a look at this tutorial, you will need to register (free) and there's lots more stuff on the site for Vegas

VASST : Free Resources sorry wrong one but still a handy utility

thanks for the resources - that is handy for sure!

I am still hoping that someone can detail the process i describe above though. Anyone have any idea how to motion track one frame and apply that motion to another frame?

ie. something like a dot moving in track - that motion is applied to track 2

anyone? :(

STill not sure what it is you are describing, any picturs to show. You can right click a key frame and copy and paste elsewhere.

this is a great example of what i am talking about - wondering if anyone has a method for doing this outside of a plugin...

FX Animated Demos

have a look at the tracking demo

i want to apply the motion captured to a greenscreened video clip that i have - and lay that over top -
