Is there a way to motion track a point in a shape layer?

Hi all,
Is there a way to motion track a point in a shape layer?
Thanks

As Mylenium points out, you can't to it directly.  But if you're willing to jump through a hoop, you can: Precomp that shape layer! 
Now AE will see it as another piece of footage, which can be motion tracked.  You can use Mocha or AE built-in motion tracker, depending on the nature of your precomp.
Alternately, you can simply parent a null object to the shape layer.  After you do so, you can adjust the null's position, positioning it precisely where you want it to be in relationship to the shape layer.  It will then maintain that relative position, following right along with any animation applied to the shape layer.

    If it's not registered with Track My Mac you can still do that - when/if it's turned on it will then show up.

    Is there any way i can track my ipod?

    IF you set up find my ipod on teh ipod BEFORE it was lost AND it is on AND it is conected to wi-fi AND it has not been found and restored, then you may be able to get an approximate street address using icloud.
    Otherwise, you cannot track it.

  • My friend lost my ipod touch at the movie theatre. Is there any way i can track it?

    My friend lost my ipod touch at the movie theatre. Is there any way i can track it?

    If the FindMyiPod feature is alreay tuned on and wifi is on nd the theater has free wifi and automatically connect you can go to icloud.com and fnd its general location and have it make a sound, send it a message and wipe it. However, that feature can be defeated by turning the iPod off or restoring the iPod.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod. Report it to the theater and police.
    - Apple wil not help.

    The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords, especially your Apple ID/iCloud password NOW!
    If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
    If locked with a passcode, and running iOS 7.0, then phone cannot be activated or the passcode removed without knowing your Apple iD/Password. It will be nothing but a useless paperweight.
    If not running iOS 7.0, the phone can be forced into recovery mode & restored.
    Your carrier has a record of your IMEI number. Also read here:

    bigjoe1370,
    Sorry for your loss.  Basically when it comes to stolen / lost units what we can do is flag your unit as stolen.  If you file a police report with the local authorities, you can then call sony technical support, fax in the police report and we will log your unit stolen in our file.  If someone happened to send it in for service etc we can recover it that way.

    NO you cannot
    As I said before,
    IF you set up find my ipod on the ipod itself and it is on and it is connected to wi-fi and the thief has not restored it, then you may be able to get an approximate street address using icloud.
    Otherwise it cannot be tracked at all.
    Report it to the police and change your passwords."

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • Is there a way to add a via point to a route in Maps?

    With the addition of Maps to Maverick is there a way to add a via point to a route between 2 points
    I might like to take a scenic highway for part of the trip or stop at a particular restaurant
    I don't see a way

    I was looking for this function to, but don't see it.  Looks like the Maps functions is a little thin right now.  Hopefully it will be expanding in the future.....hopefully near future.

  • Is there a way for the tracker to do key frames at the frame rate of the comp setting?

    I was doing some tracking in a 24fps project (yes my comp settings are correct) and I was really annoyed to see that the track looked to be generating key frames at 29.98fps. Of course this means crazy jittering.
    Is there a way I can change the rate that tracker generates key frames?
    Please help. I use CS3.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    (I assume that you mean 29.97, not 29.98.)
    In all versions of After Effects, the motion-tracking keyframes are set at the frame rate of the footage item on which the layer is based, not at the composition's frame rate.
    Have you checked to see that your footage item is interpreted to be 24fps?
    Also, are you sure that this "jittering" that you're seeing is because of the rate of the motion-tracking keyframes?

  • Is there a way of Automating track volumes in finer increments of +/-0.1dB?

    Logic's 127-step resolution is far too crude for fine mixing adjustments - value 1 numerical adjustments sometimes mean jumps of +0.2 or even 0.3dB!
    Is there a way of increasing the resolution of Automation, at least for volume?

    James,
    The only way I've found to get Logic to register in smaller increments is when holding down CMD and moving the yellow automation bar (arrange page) ---- it's the vertical yellow bar that moves up and down to reflect the current value of volume automation. Normally this move is for trimming the overall level of the automation on a track, and you can get .1 dB resolution from it. But it's not a practical control for mixing, natch.
    The volume scale for Logic's faders is not linear. Many months ago I mapped out the values, and yes, there are sometimes fairly large jumps between them. This is out of necessity when given only 127 steps (7 bit controller resolution). But I seem to remember measuring:
    • smallest volume difference between adjacent fader steps:  .1 dB
    • largest volulme difference between adjacent fader steps:  .3 dB
    Of course it would be better if Logic used a 14-bit controller resolution, but that's not the case...
    And just for perspective, if I remember correctly, the finest increment you could get from SSL G-series console fader automation was .25 dB per step (a quarter dB). Logic's coarsest value is .3 dB, not far off...
