@4:00 YES PLEASE for the love of god, no one ever explains the difficult scenarios, they always explain the simple one time use cases, but no one ever describes dealing with the painful ones, thank you so much, very helpful
You can shrink your tracking area and use the unsharp mask to bring out detail to track (You don't have to leave unsharp mask on after you get your motion track data)
@@TechDiveAVCLUB Well I see the components you're mentioning are much more "low level" than I have. So there's maybe something in the settings on my Vegas Pro 18 which limits the performance... ?
I cannot get motion tracking to work, i know how to open yadayada, but when i press the track buttons it comes up with "low track count" and the green bar doesnt fill, moving frame by frame doesnt work wither it just keeps putting the same frame over and over, not sure whats wrong
SOS....I am failing to transfer tracked data in Vegas Pro 18.Now you have to drag the tracked data onto the track you want to transfer it to.Everything worked fine when you would copy and paste it.What could I be doing wrong?Thanks in advance.
Thanks for this. I was wondering if upgrading to 18 from 17 is worth it. This seems like a good add on. Will vegas post still work with 18 without upgrading post?
Thank F*** I found this. But what do I do if I wanna add a text and crop it so that it moves from behind a cover to in the open while attaching it to follow something else?
@@TechDiveAVCLUB I ended up using the Event FX masking tool lmao it worked. I'm gonna figure out how to do it though. :D Potentially with the Bezier Masking tool. Thank you.
I'm trying to make the transition from Adobe After Effects, to Vegas. In Vegas Pro, how can we move & animate the vertexes and key frames? So that they follow a complex moving object. After Effects could do this 17 years ago. By now, doesn't Vegas have that feature?
you can make as many keyframes as you want, and you can right click each keyframe to choose a hole, smooth, fast, or linear change between them. There's more methods to help too but off the top of my head that's all I got right now. I want to have another tutorial about animating keyframes again soon.
Thanks for the tutorial.Is there a way to track a circular object,in Vegas Pro 18 e.g,if I wanted to track on a parachute(a drag chute)attached to the back of a landing air/space craft?Many thanks for your time.
Can you make a video about best render settings for good quality on RUclips? Some settings just makes YT to turn your good quality video into complete garbage.
Great video! I tried to motion track with a mask, like to do a big head replacement. I used PIP and It looked great on video preview but when I rendered the masking was off. The head was slightly off to the side. Hope you can help. Do I need to use the bezeir masking to do that?
Thanks for this very helpful tutorial. I have a question, though. Why does the rest of my screen go black when I try to motion track another video in my clip? The video I added over my clip is still tracked and visible, but the original clip in the background is just plain black after I have applied "picture in picture".
I have tried 'perspective' tracking but the tracking keeps getting thrown off.Do you have a some techniques to deal with this,please.Many thanks for your time.
Installed 18.0 Pro Edit demo to see how it runs, and it just constantly crashes when I try to use motion tracking. Also cannot transfer motion tracking info to Bezier, it does nothing. Bezier mask does not move at all. Also lost most good vFx.. no witness protection vfx, and tons of others that I have in 16.0 Platinum that I use all the time. Not sure how they except someone to make a decision on purchase if you can't see the vfx list and demo trail version is broken to the point you cannot use it. 🤷♂️ 18.0 Pro does run better with my GTX1070/ Core i7 6700k though.. much better performance than 16.0 which is terrible. Too bad it's so unstable.. maybe the full version is fixed? Who knows. Not wasting $149 to find out.
This is the way they should have done it the first time. Now, let's see if they can make the color grading panel work on all plugin levels -- media, event, track, and project. They've said this is really just a fancy plugin, so there shouldn't be any reason it can't be done. That, and fix the warp flow transition, and we'll have what v17 should have been. (Can you tell I regret buying that upgrade.)
Sorry to hear that. I do agree that this method of motion tracking is the full version, while the biezier masking was early access. Yes, adding color grading fx to a track is a feature request I'll put in for! I've thought that several times. I'm really happy with how these new features are coming along though.
Maybe some people will disagree with me, I do think the idea is good but they fucked up... I used to blur a lot of things in motion and it was ok on 17 I mean yeah not that easy to track but once you try to add Pixelate to your blur it is a nightmare.... also it is tracking ok depending on the light in the video if you have too much white like snow will not figure it out what to track where to track and it is just impossible to use... it pissed me off really bad trying all options 1000 times
the MotionTracking is so incredibly crappy that I do everything with BCC Mocha whenever possible. It is so unbelievably unstable, inflexible and incompetent that it takes me hours to create workarounds. Even the simplest items are often not tracked cleanly or recognized at all. Partly I create masks with Mocha in the simplest black and white, render those, and let Vegas try to recognize it. Even then it fucks up... it's just frustrating. If my current project wasn't so extremely complex, I would get Adobe AE!!!!
As far as demonstrating your skills it is great but it is very hard to follow if you are just want to learn the technique. Explanations are not clear and you should do one thing at a time not jumping around to different things. You also should pick a much better file to demonstrate it. It is a pity but you should keep things clear and articulate your words so it is not hard to follow what you are saying. Otherwise thanks for your efforts.
Take a look at all the new VEGAS Pro 18 features here! ruclips.net/video/IMhKFg_-cT4/видео.html
In all my years of doing motion tracking manually, i cannot thank you how much this has increased my productivity! Thank you so much!!!!!!

This was helpful - thank you.
Thank you for explaining "how". This is much better than motion tracking in VP17!
I agree! Once you get used to the work flow it's much preferd
My Vegas 18 crashes soo many times while doing this... :/
Garenteed it's cracked.
@@ToxicParents what is garenteed?
Crashed 6 times this evening on tracking, bézier masking ... I hoped with last update they would have done corrections.. so sad
@@Jimmy1002 try saving after EVERY click u make.
Great stuff, easy when you know how,Thanks
Hello, can Vegas do custom curved path motion?
Thank you very much, you made the video on time!
Yay!
is this something i add to all my clips or just some not reeally sure when to utilize it
Great work. Keep it up.
the mask doesn't appear for me.
Got a question how would i remove the background on a video and then put that transparrent clip on top of a clip that i already have?
Appreciate this tutorial. :)
are you able to zoom in closer to get more precise on motion tracker?
You can shrink your tracking area and use the unsharp mask to bring out detail to track (You don't have to leave unsharp mask on after you get your motion track data)
So well explained!
I am wondering what's your PC config. It runs so smoothly during editing.
Thanks, and it's in the description!
@@TechDiveAVCLUB Well I see the components you're mentioning are much more "low level" than I have.
So there's maybe something in the settings on my Vegas Pro 18 which limits the performance... ?
What if the box doesn't appear after selecting motion track? any fix? On vegaspro18 btw
How do i add blur once I've done the motion tracking process?
this is a great tutorial idea.
I cannot get motion tracking to work, i know how to open yadayada, but when i press the track buttons it comes up with "low track count" and the green bar doesnt fill, moving frame by frame doesnt work wither it just keeps putting the same frame over and over, not sure whats wrong

Could you do a tutorial on motion tracking movement to a green screen in Vegas?

Manual key framing, duplicating clips, and masking
@@TechDiveAVCLUB I ended up using the Event FX masking tool lmao it worked.

Potentially with the Bezier Masking tool.
Thank you.
All have good uses that overlap!
Is it still possible to use the free brush to draw the shapes?
All that's still in bezier masking! You don't need to worry about creating shapes for the motion track.

You can just frame it in the box and it will track it
how do I make the "camera" move with the tracked object

Yes i can!

Your render resolution may mis match your source media. Try selecting "stretch to fit" in render options
@@TechDiveAVCLUB That was it! thank you so much for your help.
How do I make it track the face with the camera? Like, it's hard to explain. Basically face gets tracked and the camera moves along with the face.
I should do that tutorial
Thanks for this very helpful tutorial. I have a question, though. Why does the rest of my screen go black when I try to motion track another video in my clip?

When I try to move the selected region, it keeps snapping back to its previous position
The motion tracking mask wont appear on my preview screen when I select motion tracking in the video menu.... any ideas how to fix this?
Not even when the controller is opened and the event is selected?
@@TechDiveAVCLUB already fixed it... Did have to change the settings from the NVIDIA. Thanks for replying
@@Annowknol Interesting to know! Glad it's fixed
How to render motion track video
I've noticed that toggling on or off the check box "Stretch to fit" is very helpful in rendering masked and motion tracked videos
Thanks, very helpful tutorial.
Vegas crashes pretty much always and instantly when I hit "Track motion in both directions" XD
Perhaps this video will help ruclips.net/video/CAe-NZoMiHo/видео.html
Can you motion track a mask you've made?
Reframe 360 videos pls
I don't know if i'm dumb as fuck and I don't get if I can make that the zoom tracks a certain point with Motion Track option or not.
Is there a way render a video from vp to make the file size small like 2 mb
