This example takes you through a complete motion tracking task, and shows how you can create a very simple match-moving effect using the Tracker node, which is the Swiss army knife of trackers in Fusion.

In the example composition, we have a Text1 node that’s creating a “Switzerland” title that’s composited over a drone shot flying over and around a mountain bridge. With the Text1 node selected, the onscreen controls that let you position the text it’s generating are visible in the viewer, and the text is positioned where we’d like it to start. Note that, with the Text node selected, even the part of the text that’s offscreen can still be seen as an outline showing us where it is.
