Motion tracking text. For those of you who have played soccer games like Pro Evolution Soccer, you must already know very well that above the player’s character’s head there is the text of his name that will always follow him wherever he moves.
Well, in video editing that is what is called motion tracking. In more detail, motion track is an advanced video editing technique that can make text, images, or any element always follow the position of the object in the video wherever it moves.
