Using Frame Mode to Offset Track
A common issue when point tracking is how to deal with occlusions and times when the tracked
feature moves off screen. In DaVinci Resolve, the solution is to use the Tracker palette’s Frame
mode to move the tracker crosshairs onto another feature to track, while offsetting the resulting
motion so that it continues to follow the original motion path.
1 In this example, a point tracker crosshairs has been positioned at a corner of a window
of a building that’s being separately adjusted using a Power Window. The window is
being used because, as the woman turns to leave, she covers up most of the other
trackable outer edges of the building, which would ruin the track.

2 As the camera pans, the feature being tracked is about to go off frame, which is about
to ruin the track. As this happens, click the Stop Track button.
