Connecting the foreground image to the second input of the FX node
4 Select the FX node, make sure the OpenFX onscreen controls are enabled, choose
whether you want to start at the first or last frames of the clip to begin the tracking
process, and then click within the Viewer to place tracker controls on the surface of the
image you’re going to attach the foreground image to. If you want to do a perspective
track, place at least four tracker patches in areas you know won’t be occluded by other
things in the frame. Choose features that are high contrast and angular for the best
results, and try to make sure the features you track won’t go offscreen or be occluded
by other features within the frame. As you place tracking controls, their patch window
will be tinted the color of the channel that DaVinci Resolve automatically determines will
provide the best tracking result.
Adding tracker controls to the feature you need to Match Move to
5 (Optional) If necessary, you can delete trackers you don’t want by Option-clicking them.
6 Now that your tracker controls are all set up, you’re ready to begin the tracking analysis.
If the playhead is at the beginning of the clip, click Track Forward, otherwise click Track
Backward. DaVinci Resolve will automatically analyze all tracker controls within the clip
until the last frame of the clip is reached.
