Tracking Hotspots

Animate Point Hotspots to track objects in a video panorama.

Track Objects in Video Panoramas Using the Animation Editor

  1. Add a video panorama.
  2. Add a Point Hotspot that will track an object in the video.
  3. Open the Animation Editor.
  4. Add a Video Panorama Clip. Long press the Add Clip button and choose, Add Video Panorama Clip.
    Long Press and choose Add Video Panorama Clip.
    Long Press and choose Add Video Panorama Clip.
  5. In the Point Hotspot’s Properties, find Position and click the diamond. This adds a Hotspot Track and the initial keyframes to the current clip. This means, to have the hotspot track objects in a video panorama, make sure the __VideoPano clip is the current clip (clip showing in the Editor).
    Position in Point Hotspot properties
    Position in Point Hotspot properties
  6. Play the video to the next point where the hotspot should be and add keyframes by clicking the Toggle Keyframes button for “point01” or use the Keyboard Shortcut, Option-Enter on macOS, Alt-Return on Windows.
  7. Play the video and move the hotspot.
  8. Add keyframes.
  9. Repeat: Play video, move hotspot, add keyframes.

The point hotspot will now track the object in the video panorama.

Move Point Hotspots in Panoramas

Point Hotspots can track or move in still panoramas as well. The workflow is the same as above, but the point hotspot track is added to a regular clip instead of a Video Panorama clip.
