Power Window 3D Object Tracking

Whether it is a Circular, Linear, Polygon, or even a Power Curve Window, you will eventually need to

change the position of the window to follow a moving object within a clip. Fortunately, DaVinci Resolve

has a very powerful automatic tracking tool that can be used for tracking the position of an object

within a clip.

The Object Tracking operation is covered in detail within the Viewer screen description, but here are

some basics for the simple operation. Place the window over the object, switch to the Viewer screen and

opentheTrackingmenuontheright.IfDaVinciResolvelosestheobjectatanypoint,pressthe‘Stop’

button,makethenecessarywindowreposition,andenteramarkusingthe‘Mark’buttononthecontrol

panel. Start the track again from that point.

After the tracking procedure is ﬁnished you can still move the window, apply softness or change the
