‌Supervised Tracking

You can use supervised tracking for object tracking too, of course – or a mix of both.

 Open the shot.

 On the Solver panel, set the camera’s solving mode to Disabled.

 On the Shot menu, select Add Moving Object. You will see the object at the origin as a diamond-shaped null object, and the Active Tracker Host will change to

Object01. (Names can be changed by double-clicking the name in the selection dropdown at top left of the user interface.)

 On the Tracker panel, turn on Create . The trackers will be associated with the active tracker host, which is now the moving object, not the camera.

 Switch to the Camera viewport, to bring the image full frame.

 Add plenty of supervised trackers, typically a dozen or more. Don’t forget that they need to be rigidly connected to one another, not part of an independently moving object like a moving jaw when you are tracking the head.

 Go to the Solver panel.

 Hit Go!

 You’ll need to set up a local coordinate system for the moving object, for example using *3. That will control the positioning of the moving object null vs the trackers on the moving object.
