Motion Tracking ResolveFX and
Compatible OFX Plug-Ins
When using ResolveFX in the Color page, ResolveFX that have position parameters, including
Dent, Lens Flare, Light Rays (when “From a Location” is selected), Mirrors, Radial Blur, Ripples,
Vortex, and Zoom Blur can all be motion tracked to follow the position of a moving subject in
the frame using the point-based tracking in the FX mode of the Tracker palette.
To match move ResolveFX to a feature using the FX tracker:
1 Create a new node, and drag the ResolveFX filter you want to apply onto that node to
apply the effect. In this example, we’re adding a Lens Flare effect, that has the position
parameters necessary to be match moved to follow the motion of the shot, and we’re
choosing the MIR-I 2.8/37 preset, which looks like a sun.

2 If necessary, use the onscreen controls in the Viewer or the X Position and Y Position
sliders to move the ResolveFX effect to where you want it.
