Chapter 22 Motion tracking 964
Important: Animated objects, tracking behaviors, and footage can be dropped in the
Source wells.
2 Ensure that the Type parameter is set to Transformation in the Behaviors Inspector.
3 Position the destination object (the object to which you applied the Match Move behavior—in
this case, the particle emitter) in the Canvas at the location you want.
In this example, the particle emitter is positioned at the tip of the wand. The motion path
inherited from the source object appears in the Canvas, attached to the destination object.
As a result, the particle emitter and the wand now share the same animation path.
4 Play the project.
The particles match the movement of the wand.
Reorder Match Move behaviors in the Layers list
When you add a Match Move behavior to a project, the closest active footage or animated object
in the Layers list below the clip with the behavior is applied as the source animation. This source
of animation appears in the Source well of the Match Move Behaviors Inspector. When you
move Match Move behaviors in the Layers list, that data is reset. To retain the source animation
data, rather than dragging to reorder layers, copy the Match Move behavior and paste it to
another object.
1 Select the behavior to copy in the Layers list.
2 Choose Edit > Copy (Command-C).
3 Select the layer to apply the copied behavior to.
4 Choose Edit > Paste (Command-V).
The copied behavior is applied to another object.
Note: You can also Option-drag the behavior to copy and paste it to a different object.
About two-point tracking
If you use two-point tracking in a Match Move behavior, turn on (or off) the Position, Scale,
or Rotation buttons (in the Adjust row of the Behaviors Inspector) to add or remove tracking
parameters, thereby achieving different effects.
