Animating Shapes with Keyframes and Trackers

If necessary, you can animate shapes in one of two ways:

Using keyframes: You can keyframe shapes. For more information on keyframing in

Color, see

Keyframing

.

Using a tracker: You can also use motion tracking to automatically animate a shape;

for example, to move to follow a feature that’s moving because the camera is panning.

Once you create a tracker and analyze the shot (in the Tracking tab), you simply select
a shape from the Shapes list and choose the number of the tracker you want to use
from the Use Tracker pop-up menu, and the shape is automatically animated. If the
Use Tracker pop-up menu is set to None, no trackers are applied. For more information,
see

The Tracking Tab
