Hello all, I have searched and can't seem to find an answer or tutorial on this, I have a design in a png on track 2 and would like to track it to a specific place on track 1. Is auto tracking possible in this case or do I just have to do it frame by frame? Thank you.

    Autotracking will follow the e.g.object in the clip. Pr cannot motion track, Ae can.

    Do the first and last keyframe and fill it up with keyframes where needed.

    The 3D Tracker in After Effects is the best tool in the Adobe arsenal for this kind of work.

    Thank you. Would you know if I would have to build the layers up in after effects or would I be able to move what I have from PR to AE? I'm not sure if it will read the alpha channel.

    My preferred method would be to start fresh in AE for this clip.

    Bummer, I was hoping there was some sort of workaround. Thank you.
