Motion tracking

The foreground element is pinned to the background element; four motion paths show the
transformation occurring at each corner.

Note: In this example, a reflection is created on the table using a duplicated and transformed
copy of the tracked image.

To fine-tune the track (when Four Corners is chosen from the Type pop-up menu), you might
need to make minor adjustments to the foreground element, such as modifying its scale or
rotation. When you choose the Attach to Source option from the Transform pop-up menu in the
Behaviors Inspector, you cannot transform the tracked object. To transform the tracked object,
choose Mimic Source from the Transform pop-up menu.
