Re: Tracking then trimming

Thanks Juris and Scott. I really like Juris' wedding cake idea -- I usually don't layer video unless it's to create blends of some sort -- but in this case that's a clever way to work with my situation. I think I did try collapsing the clips but that didn't seem to help. I also had used Scott's idea of the video mixdown, but his caveat is correct especially since I don't create the final effects. Mixing down is great for screening purposes but my poor assistant who has to pass counts on to the VFX house growls at me. What I'm understanding from both of you, however, is that my conclusion is correct that a track will always start on the first frame of a cut and not adjust itself to trimming. I gather you'd agree this is true of all trackers.
