01:30 Add Motion-Tracking to fit the Color Perfectly

As you play the video, you will observe that the color fade does not move with the eye. For that, you will need to use the services of “Motion Tracking.” Lead into the “Basic” section from the “Video” tab and look for the “Motion Tracking” toggle. As you activate the option, a box will appear on the preview screen. This particular box will be used to track the pupil of the eye that needs to be assessed. Reduce the size of the box according to the eye and click “Start Tracking.”

Once the analysis is done, you will observe an option below the “Motion Tracking” button in the settings. Select the drop-down and change the option to the selected color for tracking the color against the pupil.

If you’re editing a video in which your eyes are continuously opening and closing, you’ll have to adjust that as well. Fix this by adding keyframing in Filmora into the timeline at points where your eyes are getting closed. Bring the playhead to the point in the timeline where eyes are closing, after adjusting the playhead, go to the “Mask” tab and keep adding keyframes from the “+Add” option.

Adjust the “Scale” and “Position” of the color at every keyframe individually. Follow the same process for the second eye as well, so that both eyes match.
