This lesson walks through using After Effects’ built-in Tracker panel to perform a basic point track — selecting a trackable feature (like a high-contrast corner or marker), running the analysis, and applying the tracking data to a text layer, logo, or effect so it follows the footage’s motion. It also covers troubleshooting common tracking failures, such as when the tracked point becomes occluded (blocked) or when lighting changes cause the tracker to lose the feature, and how to manually fix or re-track those sections.
