Motion Tracking Mode - does this do the "highlighting" I'm trying to do?

I read through the Adobe tutorial/help for this feature.  It sounds like this will do the "highlighting/shadowing" of a football player that I'm trying to do.
Has anyone used this feature? 
I got some great instruction/suggestions regarding this yesterday (Hunt - your link was very thorough -- but with my low patience tolerance + ADD, I couldn't quite wrap my head around it at 2am!!).
So -- again, Motion Tracking Mode? Any feedback on the feature?
Thanks again to everyone here -- you are a wealth of knowledge and friendly help!

That "arrow method" is one that I cover in this ARTICLE. It can be very effective, and takes far less work than the Track Matte Keying of various Effects. The latter can be very powerful, visually, but does require more work to accomplish.
Good luck, and do check out Muvipix. Lot of good articles, threads, Assets, and more, plus there are a lot of great people, who do not hang out here. Their Community is more varied, and many do not use much Adobe in their various workflows, so it's a great resource, when working outside of the Adobe programs. There are also several subscribers, who to a lot of academic athletic work, so they know some neat tricks.

  • Where is the "Motion Tracking Mode" button in PE11?

    In PE10 by clicking "Motion Tracking Mode" button i can add a tracking object and click "Track button" to create keyframes.  Cannot find this function in PE11.  Actually i need to blur patient's eyes and nose.  The goal is to show lips and neck movement but hide the personality.  To create the keyframes manually is very labor and time consuming.  Thanks.  MT        

    It looks like you and I have posted much the same question within minutes of each other.
    I have read elsewhere that "Motion Tracking" was abandoned as being "all but useless" in this release.

  • How to get Motion Tracking Mode to work?

    How do I get "Motion Tracking Mode" to work?  I click the icon and nothing happens, its like greyed out.

    scouterbsa
    Here is my check list for you to review regarding using Motion Tracking Mode in Premiere Elements 10 on Windows 7 64 bit.
    1. You need a video and with enough motion in the object in it to track it. Color contrast between the object and its background can be important to success.
    I created a DV AVI 4:3 in which I have a circle moving, and I have used a butterfly Clip Art from Premiere Elements 10 to track to track the circle as it moves in the video. In this example, you see the object only at 0 time.
    2. Select/highlight the clip on the Timeline. And then click on the Motion Tracking Mode icon above the Timeline.
    You should next see the following Motion Tracking dialog asking for a Yes or No to the question "Run
    Auto-Analyzer to track moving objects?" Click No.
    3. At this point, you will see a bounding box on screen. That bounding box should be placed using the mouse cursor on the object
    that is going to be tracked, in this case, the circle. Resize and position the bounding box accordingly.
    4. Once you have the bounding box on the object and resized, click on Track Object at the top right of the monitor.
    The screenshot below shows only the before clicking Track Object at the top right of the monitor.
    When that action is finished the bound box edges will be an orange yellow color. I have skipped over a screenshot
    for the latter.
    5. With the orangel yellow bounding box in place, next drag the Clip Art (in this case, Butterfly 02) from the Clip Art display area toward and into the orange yellow bounding box frame. The orange yellow bounding box frame will turn blue. That is the first sign of success.
    Hit the Enter key of the computer main keyboard and watch the results. The Butterfly should track the circle's
    movement in the clip. The duration of the clip and the continuity of the object's motion in the clip can be  other factors.
    If you do not succeed, try again with a different video clip (one with more movement and color contrast.
    The above is a best case scenario. If it is speech bubbles that you are having problems with as well, we will deal with them next.
    Right now it seems like you are having problems getting started rather than having a problem with a specific Clip Art that you are
    using to track the object in your video.
    We will be watching for your results.

  • My iPhone 4s was stolen almost a week ago now.  If I can still see the phone listed in Find My iPhone but appears to be turned off does this mean the theif has not restored it to factory settings???

    My iPhone 4s was stolen almost a week ago now.  If I can still see the phone listed in Find My iPhone but appears to be turned off does this mean the theif has not restored it to factory settings???

    Are you sure?  I have other devices at home.  The only way I can make them disappear on the tracking list is by turning off location or resetting to factory settings. 
    I just want to make sure I'm not tracking a phantom that I will never recover :-(

  • Universal Track Mode? off is the only way to make a bus (stereo) ?

    Is Universal Track Mode? (Off)unchecked, the only way to make a bus (stereo) ?
    In logic 9 is this the case?
    Can someone out there verify this please? Or am I just missing some thing?
    If Universal Track Mode is (ON)checked in the audio preferences tab, all of the bus sends in the send section and the bus output choice in the channel strip output section are only mono?? thanks for any reply.

    I've been using UTM On (the recommended choice) since Logic 4.x and my busses have always been stereo, just fine.

    Hi,
    When you punchout to this web shop, have you handled the OCI suspend mode in SRM? Otherwise, when returning and generating the resume mode for OCI, it will not know what session to resume, I suggest configuring a catalog normally in the SRM_SERVER using the MDM or CCM catalogs and then reviewing the http flow of the call and return to see how the program flows.
    Regards,

  • If you switch Junk Filter back into Training mode does this reset it?

    If you have been using Mail's Junk Filter and switch it back into Training mode, does this reset it, that is, do you lose all previous training? Or does the data base only get reset via the Reset button?

    It should just go back into training mode from that point without affecting anything.

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • What does this mean: "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem"?  I tried reinstalling, but I get an error message saying something about permission to launch services.

    I am trying to activate new itunes card. I am getting error message: The code you have entered has not been properly activated. Does this mean the store did something wrong or me?

    Yes, the store didn't properly activate the card. If the store is nearly then you could try going back and asking them to do so, if it isn't (or if they can't/won't help) then try contacting iTunes Support (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

  • MIFI4620LE Jetpack blinking amber light--does this mean the battery is bad? Should the unit operate without the battery installed if plugged in?

    MIFI4620LE Jetpack blinking amber light--does this mean the battery is bad? Should the unit operate without the battery installed if plugged in?

    The MIFI4620LE Jetpack does not work without a battery installed, even when connected to an external power supply.
    I personally think that was a dumb design. I would think the unit would use more electricity when continually charging the battery than just powering the unit it's self, but that's the way Novatel made them.
    If your Jetpack works with the battery installed and connected to an external power supply, but does not power on with power supply disconnected, I would say that the battery is defective or worn out.
    You should be able to go to a nearby Verizon Store and have them either test the battery or put a new one in it to see if it works. Then you will know if you need to spend the $$ for a new battery. OR if you always use your Jetpack at home, or in your car, just use the old battery connect to a power supply or your cigarette lighter and save the cash.
    As the Customer Support person stated, the slow blinking amber light is a normal state when the Jetpack is turned on and connected to Verizon's service.
    I hope this solves your problem.

  • HT4859 If I have the app turned off for storage in iCloud does this mean the app can not be downloaded to a new device?

    1.  What am I deleting specifically when this message appears "Are you sure you want to turn off CNN backups and delete the backup data from the cloud?
    2.  If I have the app turned off for storage in iCloud does this mean the app can not be downloaded to a new device?
    3.  If I have the app turned off for storage in iCloud and I delete the app off my phone can I download the app again or do I have to repurchase the app?

    Here comes a "BUT" - imagine your kid playing game and getting to level 51 and have to start over from level one. Or imagine that history that you have in your CNN app. That is what icloud backup contains. My 500 scifi books are in one of the app backups and I REALLY do not want to lose it. That is what you would turn off.

  • TS3988 trying to buy more storage on the cloud, response is 'there was a problem - try again later' its been doing this over the last two hours - any ideas what the 'problem' is please (assuming its not me) - thanks

    Additional info on this:
    I strongly suspect this is time machine-related. Even though time machine has been turned off, this happens at intervals of exactly one hour.
    A single entry appears in the kernel log at the precise moment the (first) popup error box appears. This is:
    "AppleSRP started."
    Anyone have any clue how to go about diagnosing or fixing this? I don't even mind trying something brute force (short of wiping the HD and reinstalling lion, which I really DON'T want to do; I don't mind a non-destructive reinstall).

    The iPhone has a closed file system and you would not be able to download files to it. There have also not been any identified virus/malware that can successfully get into the iPhone. You should be fine.
