🧠 What is Motion Tracking – Chase Mode?

Chase Mode in motion tracking locks an element (like a blur or text) to a moving subject, ensuring the effect follows the object exactly as it travels across the screen.

It’s perfect for:

• Face blurring

• Tracking license plates or logos

• Following a person or object with titles or effects

Unlike Anchor Mode, which fixes the object in place while the background moves, Chase Mode allows the effect to move naturally with the subject.
