			<description><![CDATA[got you, thanks a lot LMD.

Thanks bud!

Divine.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Well it should be separated. What you want to apply the tracking data to is the layer with just the glow, nothing else.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[One question I did want to ask and I appreciate what you've said as it is helpful, I just wanted to ask tho do I need to Separate the moving elements from my layer and apply an animated mask ? Or can I go straight into what you've said? I will look up on it as I am not 100% certain on the subject.

Sincerely,
Divine.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Oh, well from a layer it's easy to track. Track the original footage, then apply the track to a null and parent the layer to the null. If you do not fully understand, there are many tutorials on YouTube for this. 
As for points, try a bright colour on brown. Maybe add some small sticky tak dots for dull colours? I'm not too sure.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[LMD, your right bud, it is a layer.

I simply masked out where I wanted to make the glow effect that was applied. 

From here should I just add a tracker and go from there?

Also inregards to marking it whats my best choice as you can tell the brown torso isn't a great color for tracking.

Sincerely,
Divine.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Ah, I misunderstood the question. Well what is the glow? If the glow is an effect applied to a layer, than just track the layer. I'm unsure how you did the glow so if you could tell me, I may be able to help.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hey LMD,

Thanks for your quick response, I was sure of it as well and have no idea why it disappeared. :l

What I wanted to ask tho is how do I present the glow as an object in order to track it? I simply duplicate the scenes when doing it, so how can I track an entire scene? 

I haven't used mocha before but Ill have a look into it. 

Also about the dots to the torso whats the best way to present a dot/marker to the torso without leaving a perm mark? like a digital mark?

Sincerely,
Divine.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This was posted here before, but I am unsure why it disappeared. I left a reply, but I guess I'll have to repeat it. Try use Mocha, I believe that is may come with After Effects. However, if it does not, you could try motion tracking in After Effects or doing it by hand. I suggest adding dots to the torso to make tracking easier next time you need to do something like this.]]></description>
