For now, clicking the Track from Beginning button will analyze the entire range of this clip, from
the first frame to the last. A dialog lets you know when the analysis is completed, and clicking
the OK button dismisses it so you can see the nice clean motion path that results.

Viewing Motion Track Data in the Spline Editor
This is not a necessary part of the tracking workflow, but if you have an otherwise nice track
with a few bumps in it, you can view the motion tracking data in the Spline Editor by viewing that
tracker’s Displacement parameter curve. This curve is editable, so you can massage your
tracking data in a variety of ways, if necessary.

Connecting Motion Track Data to Match Move
Now that we have a successful analysis, it’s time to use it to create the Match Move effect. To
make this process easier, we’ll double-click the tracker’s name in the Tracker List of the
Inspector, and enter a new name that’s easier to keep track of (heh). Adding your own names
make that tracker easier to find in subsequent contextual menus and lets you keep track of
which trackers are following which subjects as you work on increasingly complex compositions.
