Mastering Resolve Fusion’s Point Tracker – Using Tracking Data

Deep Dive Part 2 – How to apply tracking data across your Fusion flow

In Part 2 of this series, Bernd digs deeper into the Fusion tracking workflow, demonstrating how to pull tracking data out of the tracker node and apply it precisely across your comp. You’ll learn how to link position, scale, and rotation from only two tracked points, giving you full control over your match-move outside of the tracker node.

About this Insight

Building on the foundation from part one, this Insight takes a deeper look at how tracking data flows through your Fusion composition—and how to control it precisely.

You learn how to extract position, rotation, and scale values from the tracker tool and apply them directly to other nodes using Fusion’s modifier system. Rather than relying on the tracker’s built-in match move function, you’ll see how to connect specific tracking outputs to tools like Transform or Merge nodes for greater control.

Using a simple example involving a French flag on the Arc de Triomphe, you will:

A second test example with rotating text demonstrates:

Whether attaching graphics, stabilizing motion, or driving effects with tracking data, this tutorial equips you with the knowledge to apply tracking with purpose and precision—anywhere in the flow.
