Track motion more precisely

The new Motion Tracker in After Effects 6.0 (Professional edition only) offers faster performance, enhanced accuracy, and controls that give you additional options for tracking motion.

Track motion up to 35 times faster than previously at a Subpixel Matching setting of 1/256 pixel. Track the motion of your source layer without applying the tracking data to a destination layer, and perform multiple tracks on a single layer and track as many individual points as you like.

Analyze motion forward, backward, or by stepping through footage frame by frame using VCR-like controls in the Tracker Controls palette. (This is especially helpful when you're working with hard-to-track footage.) Work with Motion Tracker keyframes in the Timeline window--use tracking data in expressions, edit the data manually, and use the Smoother keyframe assistant to produce better looking results.
