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:

  • Explore the differences between steady and unsteady tracking data.
  • Learn how to isolate only the parameters needed for your shot.
  • Learn how to handle scenarios with multiple tracking points.
  • Understand why directly connecting to a specific point’s path gives you more flexibility than relying on tracker averages.
