Version 2009 introduces a sophisticated new tracker called the DVO Tracker.
The tracker automates the selection of optimal tracking points within a user
specified area of a shot.
The DVO Tracking controls are available inside every Shapes layer and
become active when a shape is selected.

Tracking Basics
Any Shapes layer inside a CC Layer (including Base ) or FX Layer can
be used to create a track for a shot.
Before starting, familiarise yourself with the shot you wish to use. Play the
shot through and identify the area you wish to track and its behaviour. Pay
attention to how the chosen feature moves (including any scaling or rotation),
whether it is ever obscured (or partly obscured), whether it stays inside the
frame and how other parts of the shot move relative to it.
The tracking process is straightforward :
Draw a shape around the area you want to track (and affect)
Press the track control to track forwards or backwards
With the play-head at the required starting frame, we will draw a shape around
the feature we wish to track.
