    Unhappy Linking Trackers

    Hello all,
    Does anyone know how to link tracker data in Shake 2.5. I want to replace an advst. board with a CG sign board. I am not getting a constant feature point to track as the shot is panning. so need to choose diff points at diff frames. I took a point to track from 1-25frames(TRACK1). Then another point from 36-98(Track2). I used the LINK TRACK option to link the track1 to track2 data, but its not working out. Its considering only the track2 data right form the 1st frame. Pls help someone help me.

    thanks in advance

    maybe you can use conditional expression about time. i.e if time <=25 use track 1. I can't remember the correct expression, because i'm working with flame now, but you can see it in help.
    Sorry for my english

    ...and you also have to relocate the second tracker to match the first. Take one point tracked in both trackers and get the average of that, you have to add or substract it to the second track

    hey i got it.. thks.. the answer is to offset the track point.. I first tracked a feature point using Track 1 and then turned on the Offset Track option in the viewer control toolset. Disabled the track 1 and enabled track2. Tracked the 2nd point using track2. The it all worked without averaging. Thanks a lot for ur support.

    Thanks
