FX Tree Tracking stuff

FX Tree Tracking stuff

Hi all,

A couple of questions -

Anyone got a guide to using the trackers in the FX tree, such as setting
offsets as in Flame - i.e. track a portion of a shot using an object in the
scene, then jumping the tracker to another when it gets obscured?????

When I try increasing the track area, by dragging the handles on the box of the
tracker, XSI Quits immediately - poof - houdini coudn't do it better - is this
known???  

What I have done, and is quite cool - I know that Kim has done it before, but I
used the track to help me on a shot that couldn't be 3d tracked to get a Camera
pan and tilt - worked great - trying on another shot now, that has even less
tracking objects!!!

Cheers

S.
