How to Track Motion Titles in Corel Video Studio X6

[maikii]

The reason I might want to track motion a title is more to keep it stable than to make it move.

The video I am editing is of a school orchestra concert. The players are seated in place, not moving. However, the camera is sometimes panning, so that if the title remains at the same place on the screen, it ends up moving over different heads. I would like the title to remain at the same place in relation to the orchestra, even when the camera pans.

Track Motion could be used to do that, correct?

I tried it, following the directions in the user guide, which seemed quite complex. I set a tracker with track motion (beginning the same time as the title starts), then right-clicked the title and chose "match motion".

After doing that, playing back the project, I now see no title at all on the video. The only way I could get it back was to "remove motion".

Could someone tell me how to do this correctly?

Thank you in advance.

I can't tell you how to use motion tracker in Videostudio, but you can use keyframes on the title clip. Basically, you scrub through the video frame by frame, and move the title clip as needed. This will create a keyframe for each time you move the title clip. This method works well for clips that are not too long or when Motion Tracker results are not what you expect.

Here's a link for a YouTube video that explains what to do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCPrFnvctzo
