Manual 2D tracking
is where you set features manually and track them by hand, rather than relying on auto-tracking. A feature, as you may now be aware, is a small region of the footage that can be found again in the previous and following frames of the shot. If you are solely relying on manual tracking, then the key thing to remember is at different depths, to represent the scene. So, let's just check that we can see the footage. If you cannot see what's in the viewport here, come over to the Motion Tracker in the Footage tab, just use the ellipsis button to load in the city footage. And what I'm also going to do is switch from the Standard layout to the Motion Tracker layout. This means that I can see the new Motion Tracker Track View. And we'll just bring this over a touch. And I'm also going to just fold up the Object Manager, just so I've got a bit more room. So, with Command or Control held down, I'm going to left mouse click this little box here, and that just folds it up. You can click it again…
