Scott,

There's no more lost motion tracking due to shade. However, your footage
is so jerky that you had to zoom in a lot to discard the black borders.
And now, all the "context" of the video is lost: you don't know where
the video was taken. :-/

So, technically, the motion tracker is, IMO, well set. But with such a
footage, one could hesitate to use the motion effect. I encountered the
same problem sometimes with my video. At some places, I had to zoom it
at a factor of 1.8, and I am using DV material... :-/ I really hesitated
between using the motion tracker, or cutting the scene. :-/

I'll continue to do some tests with that effect. I really would like to
be able to render to a higher resolution format, in order to see 100% of
the image, even when there's a lot of motion compensation. That way, I
could decide myself of the "stabilization effectiveness":
- zoom in a lot to discard the jerkiness, but the image is not sharp
- don't zoom it that much, and move the projector. The image is jerky,
  but less than without any motion tracking. And I would not see those
  large black borders.

Anyway, who now know how to use that motion effect. I think I'll often
use it from now.

Nicolas.
