Automatic tracking of drawings
Pro edition users have the possibility to use many types of drawings to track objects as they move in a video. This is done semi automatically: if Dartfish can identify the specified group of pixels in the next frame, it moves the drawing correctly. Where the object becomes obscured or cannot be identified automatically, you can manually select the new position. Dartfish remembers both the automatic and manual points to ceate the best tracking result.
NOTE: Those without Pro editions can manually track objects using tools such as spline.
