Adding effects to motion tracks? How? X6

[Stoltenbergen]

I have a clip where I have tracked the motion of two eyes (not the eyemovement, but the location). The tracking is awesome by the way. The placeholders are following the movement very good.
My goal is to have some kind of effect on the eyes (scary, sci-fi etc), like lens flare coming out of them. But I can't figure out how to add this effect to the motion I have tracked. I have tried adding the effect to the place holders, but it looks very ugly and they are still just a couple of squares.

Anyone know how I can add an effect to a motion track like this..?

Please get back to me if something in my post needs clarification, elaboration.

Thanks.

Hi

And welcome to the forums, I had read your post earlier but did not know the answer and was hoping others more knowledgeable would reply.

The Motion Tracking effect is new to X6 , I have to admit I have not used it so far other than for a few tests.

I assume you have tracked the eyes and that a place holder has been added to the Overlay track, this clip is a little different to what we are used to as it appears to be linked to the video clip. However you can replace the clip with one of your own

Right click the placeholder and select Replace Clip.
I assume you have a suitable fiery video effect with a transparent background that you intend to use.

There is also an option to Customise Motion, this seems to remove the auto tracking, opens a new window allowing you to manually set the motion. You will now be able to re-size the clip.

Hope this helps
