15 - Motion Tracking - Kdenlive 2020 Tutorial
Рет қаралды 32,144
In this video, I will show you how to use the Motion Tracking Effect in Kdenlive. You can use Motion Tracking to move Text and Images together with a subject in a video.
When using Images, I recommend using PNG files so that you have background transparency.
02:37 - Applying Basic Motion Tracking to a Subject
06:10 - Tracking Text to a Subject
08:40 - Tracking an Image to a Subject
09:38 - Manually Adjusting Tracking Path

Great tutorial! About fixing the arrow position you could simple add a second transform effect AFTER the one you already have and set an offset from the tracked position. This way you afford the manual position fixing.
@SquirrelTheorist 2 жыл бұрын
I thought the exact same thing. It definitely saves time than from having to edit each keyframe. I agree, it was a great tutorial though!

Is there a tutorial on this please. I have added the second transform effect but not sure what you mean by setting an offset from the tracked position.
@logianer Ай бұрын
@@chillimocha use the second transform effect to "correct" the tracking transform and have your element where you want it to be (aka. "offset"; the second transform then *is* the offset)
@xgvargas Ай бұрын
@@chillimocha Well, the first transform is the one that is moving the object on top of the tracked element. If you add a seconds transform and set an offset to X than object will still move following the tracked element (thanks to the first transformation), but no longer on top of it since the second one has moved it to the side.By adjusting the X/Y offset of the second transformation you can define where the object will appear relative to the center of the tracked data. I don't have a tutorial for this, but I can do something if you still having issues.

So, after a few months of returning to this video, never getting it to work, I found the problem, the object you want to follow must be in the "Circle" at the START of the clip you are using. If you are only following a few seconds of a longer clip, trim it down to only the portion you are following. If it is off screen, you need to cut it down to where it is in frame before you trace it. You can manually change it later as it enters into frame, but to do it Auto, it needs to be in frame first. He does this in the video, but it isnt as clear as it could be

thanks for the tutorial - for anyone who doesn't know, the current version seems to have a bug involving copy+pasting keyframes onto other projects. gotta transfer it by hand. :/ also, if you can't find the motion tracking option, you need to install opencv.
@crypti1c Жыл бұрын
At 5:40 - for anyone watching, increasing the keyframes spacing helps to smooth out the motion of the ellipse if the object you are trying to track is, for example, rotating as it moves across the screen. When you copy the tracking data and import it to a transform effect for some text/image, it will more closely follow the actual path of the object you want to track rather than its path combined with, say, its rotational motion

For people like me wondering why Motion Tracking is missing, turns out you need OpenCV installed. I'm using Linux Mint, and forgot if I installed through PPA, and couldn't figure out which OpenCV dependency it needs. So.. My solution: I just reinstalled through flatpak instead.

When I click on the titel again and choose "import keyframes from clipboard" it imports something else (says "rectangle" on top), but not the correct ones. What am I missing? Thanks!

I believe you aren't alone with the motion tracking issues. I think this may have stopped working with newer versions of Kdenlive or perhaps a different method has been implemented. I haven't had a chance to investigate this yet, but when I do, I can post an updated tutorial.

Maybe this will help someone. First: click "view" then checkmark "effect/compisition stack" or you dont see the effect options. under motion tracker (in e/c stack) click options, then copy keyframes to clipboard. goto transform effect click options and import keyframes from cipboard. good luck!

@victorianodejesus 3 жыл бұрын
The low resolution is showing up because you might have the Preview Scaling set to 270p in your Project Monitor, try changing this to a higher number or 1:1. OR you might have Proxy Clips turned on, proxy clips are lower resolution. Try rendering a small clip, it should render to the quality of the original video.

I was using Kdenlive for something similar (not using motion tracker feature)... moving a png image around the video using keyframes, but somehow kden changed my keyframe values, so the image just went in a straight line across the video instead of following the path I chose with the keyframes. Do you know if this is a bug or did I do something wrong?
