maintaining its aspect ratio.

PreTrack Macro

This macro helps when tracking noisy film plates. It drops the blue channel out, which
tends to have the thickest grain, and also applies a slight blur to the footage. Once the
track has been done, disable or remove the PreTrack node.

Note: The Tracker nodes have the ability to add blur while tracking.

RotateFit Macro

This macro resizes the frame to fit the new boundaries of the image. This version uses
math to figure out the boundary, but you can also put the variables dod[0] - dod[3] into
a Crop node.
