Use Motion Tracking to create a motion swing path behind a golfer’s club head. This effect would work perfectly to show your friends how bad they need to work on their form… just a thought. But honestly, this simple principle can be used to create endless effects and could really spice up any sport-themed projects you work on.

      DVCPRO HD. Most likely you don’t have that codec if you don’t work with it or FCP. Didn’t think of that. I should have converted it. I’ll do that now and link it up to you later..

  • Lawrence

    Was wondering Kerry Murphy if you had a chance to convert that video to some other codec yet? Where are you going to put it for download?
