Coremelt Launches TrackX, a New Motion Tracking Plugin for Final Cut Pro X

January 14, 2014 By Eric Reagan

TrackX Tracking in FCP X

Coremelt has launched new motion tracking tools in the TrackX plugin for Final Cut Pro X that leans on Mocha’s Academy Award-winning Planar Tracking technology to track people and objects in moving shots for compositing directly in FCP X. To track an object for compositing, just draw a shape around the object you want to track and the Mocha tracking engine will lock on and allow you to track text, do screen replacements, replace signs and more. It looks pretty freaking amazing.

TrackX powered by mocha Features Three Powerful Plugins:

  • Simple Tracker: Instant tracking perfect for quick floating lower thirds or graphics following a person or object
  • Track Layer: Advanced tracking with perspective shifts, surface mapping and masking capabilities
  • Track Text: Includes a text generator that can track text with perspective and masking capabilities

Check out the results in the demo video below.
