If the ends of a line were moving independently, just apply a tracking Point to each one Use Layer on it directly, with no your confirmation bias has you locked in cognitive dissonance forcing you to present alternative facts to get out of a simple bet. But you can't do that with the Wire Removal because it's on the clip itself.Īctually, this only works for a straight line that can use a single tracked point for both ends. Quad Warp does something similar, but at least you can set the shape and parent the entire plane to a point, which keeps all the relative coordinate systems somewhere easy to understand.
Currently it is completely non-intuitive and downright awkward to use. Which is a bonkers workaround.Īn alternative would be to use a single Point and Track the centre of the screen, when the movements would remain relative to that, if there was something there that you could track (not likely in all cases). The only way is to use the Second Point, left at 0,0, to cancel out the offset that it adds to the end markers.
If you do zero the Start and End positions, they're useless. There is no way reset values to zero, to remove the offset it adds when you Use Layer for a Tracker that is at a non-central position, such as you would when you wanted something to exactly follow something it was parented to. If it's not actually broken, it acts like it might as well be. I think the Effect is written to work very weirdly indeed. So Markers are in one place, erased line is somewhere else. You can use the same points, no need to create more unless the line wiggles about, except they're not relative to the Use Layer Point. Then repeat for the other piece of string. It now follows the line without you having to set the points in the middle of nowhere and try and guess where they'll intersect the line you originally set them on. Nothing jumps, no need to adjust things or pull out hair.
Yay! Adjust Width, Gradient, Reflection until perfect.ģ) Create another New Point (#2) and Parent that to New Point (#1).Ĥ) Select Use Layer: New Point (#2) for the Start and the End of the Line.ĥ) Everything still works. Apply the tracking data to a New Point (#1).Ģ) Drop on the Wire Removal Effect and put the two end markers on both ends of the line you want removed. The only way to use it and stay sane is as follows:ġ) Track anything you like. Track anywhere, including at the end of a line, and no matter what you do when you Use Layer, it moves the area that will have the line removed away from the end markers. That can't possibly be how it is supposed to work. Going to have to download your video and have a play now.Įdit: OK, had a play and the Effect as it currently works is completely bonkers. Why on earth do you track something nowhere near what you intend to remove and then set the removal Effect to use that position?
