Track
Although there is a standard Tracker node, you can also use a Tracker modifier to add a tracker
directly to a parameter. To apply the Tracker modifier, in the viewer right-click the Center control
of of any transform, text, mask, or other positionable element. From the contextual menu,
choose Object x Center > Modify With > Tracker. Then choose one of three options:
Tracker Position: Tracks a point from the source.
Steady Position: Stabilizes based on a single point in the source.
Unsteady Position: Adds original motion back after stabilizing.
This adds a modifier in the Inspector with a set of controls almost identical to those found in the
Tracker node itself.

For an in-depth explanation of this node, see chapter Chapter 107, “Tracker Nodes” in the
DaVinci Resolve manual or Chapter 56 in the Fusion Studio manual.
Tracker Modifier vs. Tracker Node
The differences between a Tracker modifier and a Tracker node are as follows:
The Tracker modifier can only track a single pattern.
The Tracker modifier can only output a single value and cannot be used for complex
stabilization or match-moving procedures.
The default source image for the modifier is the node immediately upstream of the
node that contains the modifier (i.e., when adding a Tracker modifier to a Glow node
with a Loader as its input, the Tracker Source input defaults to the output of the
Loader). Set a different source image for the Tracker modifier by typing in the name
of the node. Alternatively, drag the source node from the Node Editor into the Text
Box control.
