How do you remove the motion point tracking if you decide you don’t want it? I can’t seem to “uncheck” it.
It’d be great if we could get this question answered (re: how to remove or delete motion tracking if you don’t want it anymore). Seems pretty basic and I can’t figure it out, short of deleting the project and re-uploading the video, which is obviously not ideal.
Hello Nikki,
Thanks for pointing this one out for us! To remove a motion tracker, select the clip where you have set up motion tracking, and open the Track Motion window as you normally would. Then, select the Tracker on the lower left hand side of the window, and either hit Delete or click the minus sign above the tracker list. This will remove the selected motion tracking path.
Hope this helps,

I was about to leave a comment that “no, it does not”. Opening the tracker shows the original mosaic tracker, which cannot be deleted. The minus sign is grayed out and del-button does not do anything.
There is a workaround through: add another tracker (empty one), and then you can delete the original tracker. Now, click “Ok” and the tracker is gone.
This is a great feature but I was wondering if there is a way to use an image instead of the blur feature. I am using VideoStudio X9 Ultimate.
Hello Mike,
Yes! While the mosaic effect is a common use for motion tracking, it can also be used to add images or graphic effects that follow your tracked objects around on the screen.
1st track the motion. 2nd insert picture to timeline. 3rd right click then select match motion, you may need to adjust size and other things. Hope this helps
This I ok if you want to block out a license plate. But how do you, say add a walking person clip, onto a video of a ocean beach video that has waves in the back ground?
Hello Jay,
This sounds like something you would want to use chroma keying, also known as ‘green screen’, to accomplish! You would use this technique to mask the background in the clip of someone walking, and then overlay them onto your beach scene. If you didn’t film the person walking against a good background for the chroma key process, you can apply a mask to help.
For a more detailed explanation of how that works, check out this tutorial video:

Hope this helps!
