2 In the Behaviors tab of the Inspector, choose Four Corners from the Type pop-up menu.
Note: The Four Corners option is not available when Match Move is applied to a 3D
group. To corner-pin a 3D group, turn on the Flatten checkbox in the Group tab of the
Inspector.
In the Canvas, a tracker appears at each corner of the foreground object. In the
Inspector, the default track list (Anchor and Rotation-Scale), is replaced with the Top
Left, Top Right, Bottom Right, and Bottom Left trackers.
3 In the Canvas, drag each tracker to a “corner” of the background element (in this
example, the corners of the picture frame provide the four-corner track points).
As with the Analyze Motion trackers, a magnified inset appears in the Canvas as you
drag the trackers.
4 Click the Analyze button in the HUD or Behaviors tab of the Inspector.
