Once the clip has been analyzed, you’ll see a Graphics menu on the right. Premiere Elements is automatically going to create a path based on his movements. So, in this case, Kicker is just walking along the grass. Premiere Elements will analyze each frame to determine where that object starts and ends in the frame. Once you’re happy with your selection, click the “Track Object” button on the left. In this case, I made my selection box a little smaller so Kicker was inside the box. Next, adjust the size and placement of the selection box so that it’s surrounding the moving object. The first step is to select the object in your clip that you want to track. Once you do that, you’ll get a menu with several Tools, and about halfway down, you’ll see Motion Tracking.Īfter you select the Motion Tracking tool, you will see helpful instructions on the left-hand side that explain exactly what to do to use the Motion Tracking tool. So the first thing you need to do, once your clip is on the timeline, is to select it and click the Tools icon on the right-hand side. I’m going to use this clip for motion tracking because Kicker (the dog) is walking through the frame a little bit and I’m going to give him a moving speech bubble! For this tutorial, I am using a short clip from my GoPro that I tool on a recent trip to Vail, Colorado. This tutorial works with any kind of video footage, whether it’s just for fun family videos or for your YouTube channel.
