Motion tracking
that stays in your
timeline

Track a face or any object. The panel writes ordinary Motion keyframes you can still drag afterwards - nothing is imported, nothing is rendered elsewhere, and your clip is never replaced.

Two tools, one tracking engine

Camera follows

Keyframes the clip so the tracked point stays centred.

Pin selected layer

Makes a layer above the clip move with the tracked object.

One track produces two sets of keyframes, because the two uses want opposite things. A camera wants the shake taken out; a graphic stuck to a hand wants none of it - smoothing there reads as the graphic sliding off.

What it looks like in Premiere

The Tracker panel docked beside the timeline in Premiere Pro, with a clip selected and the program monitor showing a drone shot of a car. — **1. It docks like any other panel.** Select a clip in the timeline and press Read. Nested sequences work too.

The panel showing a box drawn around a car in the preview, with smoothing and keyframe interval settings below it. — **2. Say what to follow.** A face, or a box you drag around anything else. Tracking runs both ways from the playhead, so you can start in the middle of a move.

Premiere's Effect Controls panel showing Position keyframes written on the Motion effect of a text layer.

3. Ordinary keyframes come out

Position keys on the Motion effect, on the layer you already had. Nothing is imported, nothing is rendered somewhere else, and your clip is never replaced. Drag them afterwards, delete a few, or keep editing as though you had set them by hand.
