It’s 2021 and the acquisition of skills in the digital arena is a good and sound business road tack to adhere to.

But its also tons of fun for personal reasons.

Whether you want to make your missives to far-flung relatives lots more fun for them to open, or make your work presentations much less boring, and far more comprehensible and memorable, adding motion tracking to your repertoire of video-creating skills is a good way to go.

Motion tracking refers to taking a video clip, tracking a point within that clip then attaching other digital media like text, titles or images to that track.

It is an advanced tool so not every software package has it.

If you wish to ensure that it is included then just check the specs of any you are looking at and that it is suitable even for newbies to learn and use.

Videos where you see blurring across a face or an directional arrow are ones that for certain have used motion tracking.

Besides images, which seems obvious, motion tracking can also be used to attach stickers, captions and more.

Movavi, as a specific application that is useful for those just getting their editorial feet wet, has intuitive and easy to follow software.

Users make use of options like sizing, caption style and text styles and drag their selections to the track. Voila, a greatly enhanced video, made more fun with captions, stickers etc. Want to keep an identity private.

The blurring feature ensures privacy.

  • For example, use motion tracking to pit your clip to stickers you wish to include, or pictures, maps, etc.
