the motion tracking itself worked fine i was gonna import the keyframes with the motion tracker and yes i waited for a few seconds but i waited for about 5 or more nothing worked (unless if its my wifi)
Very well explained and demonstrated. However, I will need to watch this tutorial a few times to really get the hang of it. Then I will watch your newer tutorial on this subject. I also like the fact that you take the trouble of answering all the questions put to you. Thank you.
Nice clear explanation and demo at a helpfully steady pace, thank you. I can use this when I upgrade Shotcut and remake some of my instructional videos.
Super clear explination!! How nice to find someone tacking time to clearly explain the process in a way that allows us to take in the information before the next step. 100% perfect, I can not fault. I've been using Premeire Pro, but as always to do this I need yet another subscription. I think its time to switch to ShotCut now I have found your channel. Thanks for all your hard work putting things like this together!!
@@BenEspanto I have subscribed my friend, and used ShotCut since watching the above. Amazing. I have some FPV drone footage of one drone chasing another and this feature managed to track the drone in front even though the drone changes orientation and get smaller and larger. The only thing it can't do is track it off screen and back on, not complaining because I could not believe how quick and simple this new feature is. I'll look at you other videos now, and see what else there is to learn.

Great example, but wondering if you have experimented using the motion tracker with the Size, Position & Rotate filter? What I would like to achieve is zooming in on an object and keeping that in a fixed position. I currently do it manually, setting a keyframe every five frames. But as you can imagine it's very time-consuming, although the results can be good. I'm currently editing a video now and while the motion tracker is doing its part brilliantly, I'm having no success whatsoever getting the Size, Position and Rotate filter to make use of the tracker data.
This is a nice and clear video, thank you! Unfortunately, in my video I'm trying to track my son playing ice hockey. It seems that since all the kids are wearing the same uniform and skating around in the clip the motion tracking has not enough "smarts" to follow the right kid. :(
Great tutorial Ben! Curious if this could be used with Crop and Mosaic to follow a person's face (or license plate) and keep it blurred out. Wonder how well the Motion Tracker works against a moving background too! Keep up the great work!
Thank you. The Mosaic filter can't directly connect to Motion Tracker yet. A good indicator if it's compatible is try loading the filter first. If you see a "Load Keyframes from Motion Tracker" button at the bottom, then it works with motion tracker. There is a workaround. Load the identical video on 2 tracks on top of each other. Apply the Mosaic filter on the whole top track, then add the mask simple shape to make the selection smaller. Mask Simple Shape works with Motion Tracker.
everything seems to work up until the apply button. after i apply the motion tracker keyframes to another filter nothing really happens. No "not responding", no keyframe button turning blue. N A D A
That timeframe button never turns to blue, no keyframes appear even waiting for 30 mins for just short sample about under 10 seconds? Tried several times... OK, now it works after reboot, but how to move text above the subject after selecting the fourt option like at 9:00 ?
Was hoping one of the many free video editors would implement something like this and have been following Shotcut for a while since they started to implement it. Looks like it has so much fun and potential. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks again I saw in other editors that they follow up on the points. The tracking effect in OpenShot to attach media to moving objects and use Shotcut using Glaxnimate which is the most accurate or which gives the best results?
Excellent tutorial, but it's rare that you need to track the motion of a single person moving in slow motion against a background with no moving objects. This means you have to do it by hand, which is extremely time consuming. Is there a good tutorial that explains how to speed up hand tracking?
@@BenEspanto I know. But motion tracking only makes sense if it is automated. That's why it should be called Slow motion tracking because it's completely unusable for tracking fast moving objects. Adobe products aren't any better.
Can you use this to zoom in on the subject and have Shotcut keep the subject centered and have the background appear to move behind it? In your example could the green box be the image being recorded? Another great video.
i have this problem where the motion tracker works fine, but when i try to add text and load the keyframes from motion tracker, it didn't create any keyframes after i click apply :(

@@BenEspanto it wouldn't track what I wanted it to track. After analyzing the green box locked onto a stationary object to the left of what I had targeted. I tried all of the algorithms; they all did the same thing. Perhaps a video game doesn't provide enough information for it to work?

Try again. Sometimes it crashes
@@BenEspanto believe it or not i tried again like 10 times still the same result
@@BenEspanto nvm for some reason they decide to work now
That's just what I was waiting for. Thanks for showing us and for all your hard work.

I have. The SPR filter is usually the best use-case for motion tracking and I have not had any issues yet
Very impressive for a free editing software!

In that case you might have to do it manually
Ben, many thanks for this.
An excellent tutorial, as usual.
What screen capture / video capture program are you using to film these Shotcut tutorials?
OBS Studio is a good one
Thanks Ben.
Thanks for the help! Also, it's peaceful asf wherever you live 😂
I wouldn't say peaceful lol

Restart. Sometimes it hangs
That is cool😊👍
Thank you!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
using motion tracker for masking would be useful. Remove a vehicle from a desert road?
If the tracker could track the item, and your cover-up is seamless, theoretically yes
Hello, great video. Is there a reason why my keyframes do not save? Please help.
I don't know. Do you ave the latest version?
Lovely
Thank you

I don't think you can with the 4th option. Choose the first one
Can be used blur filters?
Not directly right now. You might need to pair it with crop rectangle for now

I don't use openshot so I don't know
Is there sth like a moving average filter to smooth tracking out a little?
Not that I know of. You can always modify the keyframes
Excellent tutorial, but it's rare that you need to track the motion of a single person moving in slow motion against a background with no moving objects. This means you have to do it by hand, which is extremely time consuming. Is there a good tutorial that explains how to speed up hand tracking?
Slow or fast, you have to track every object individually. You just need to save multiple trackers
@@BenEspanto I know. But motion tracking only makes sense if it is automated. That's why it should be called Slow motion tracking because it's completely unusable for tracking fast moving objects. Adobe products aren't any better.
I only work within the confines of what the product provides me. I am not associated with Shotcut but could be a good request for you on their forum
Can you use this to zoom in on the subject and have Shotcut keep the subject centered and have the background appear to move behind it? In your example could the green box be the image being recorded? Another great video.
I think so but I got to figure out how
I don't have Motion Tracking even though I have the recommended version. Do you know why?
What operating system are you on?
@@BenEspanto Windows
Try uninstalling the whole thing and re-installing
i have this problem where the motion tracker works fine, but when i try to add text and load the keyframes from motion tracker, it didn't create any keyframes after i click apply :(
its working only after i restarted my pc, but after awhile its not working again

Sad surprise, I couldn't find the (Analyse) button
Do you have the version of Shotcut I mentioned and also the Motion Tracking filter?
@@BenEspanto Yes
Then it should be the very bottom button
Tried this with video game footage. Didn't work at all.
Which part didn't work?
@@BenEspanto it wouldn't track what I wanted it to track. After analyzing the green box locked onto a stationary object to the left of what I had targeted. I tried all of the algorithms; they all did the same thing. Perhaps a video game doesn't provide enough information for it to work?
Isn't this a solution for a moving blurred box - e.g. for blurring a face you don't wanna show. Or a car sign. Or boobs. Or... ???
Can be many use cases
Still can't understand why this would be used.
There are many use cases like using it for titles
tracking a racing car in a bunch of them. Or a sailboat.
How about a text box with dialog, tracking the speaker as they move.
