Object Tracking: Follow, Replace, Crop, or Anonymize

The Object Tracking tool uses DINO features to follow an object through a video. It can also replace the tracked area, crop around it, or anonymize detected faces.

1. Choose a video source

Open Tools → Object Tracking. Choose Upload File to select a video, or Current Clip and Load from Clip to use the selected timeline clip.

2. Prepare tracking data

Set Processing FPS and Processing Resolution to balance smoothness and speed. Higher FPS gives the tracker more frames to analyze but takes longer. Select Process Video and confirm the prompt; wait for frame processing to finish.

3. Mark what to follow

Click the object in the preview to mark it for tracking. You can make multiple selections if you need to follow more than one region. Use Undo or Clear Selections to revise the marks.

4. Choose an output mode

• Track: Show the tracked regions with colored overlays.
• Replace: Upload an image to cover the tracked object as it moves.
• Crop: Set a crop size or choose an aspect-ratio preset to keep the tracked object in frame.
• Deface: Enable Face Anonymization to blur, mosaic, or cover detected faces with a solid color. Use its separate mode options to anonymize all faces or exclude tracked subjects.

Select Export to render a file, or Save to Library to add the result to Video Weaver. Review the entire output for tracking slips and face-detection misses before publishing.
