Final Cut Pro 10.6 Update - Object Tracking

Hi! I'm new to the object tracker and having difficulty with jitters. I use a lot of chest-mounted gopro footage. If my footage isn't buttery smooth (The kind that could easily be keyframed in under a minute), the tracker bumps and jumps to try and keep a lock on the object, resulting in a very jarring tracking effect. Is there an option somewhere to smooth out the tracking so that it follows a less precise but more visually pleasing path?

I want to see if I can do a lightsaber using tracking. Get a fake sword and track it. Get an image of a laser beam, and see what it would look like. 🤔

This is exactly why I needed. Watch other videos but it didn’t explain it as simple. And they didn’t say you can just drop it in to the screen. Great stuff!

Great video - very helpful. Thanks!

Thank you for this tutorial.

Great video, informative and concise. I’ve just fiddled with it a bit today. How would you track an object out of the frame? I just attached some text to an object and when the camera pans away from it, the text doesn’t leave the frame. Any ideas on how to make that smooth?
