Vegas Pro 16. How "tracking" does not seem to work properly.

Vegas Pro 16 is a good video editing program, but "tracking" with Bézier Masking or, to explain better,  the way you trace an object with Bézier Masking, can create the idea that the program does not work properly.

It is a great function that allows the masking of objects or part of objects that are still or moving. Useful for obscuring plates, faces etc.

Here is the step by step procedure.

1 - Insert the video (First video)

2 - Insert new track

3 - Copy and paste the video (First video) in the new track

4 - Select the copied video (2th video)

5 - Move the copied video cursor (2th video) to the beginning of the video

6 - Drag FX Bezier Mask to copied  video (2th video)

7- Adjusted tracking area inside the cabin edges, inside the red doors

8 - In Video Event FX I open Mask 1, Tracking, Start

10 - When Vegas finishes converting tracking, drag FX Gaussian Blur into the video copy.

But, at this moment if I move the Video Event FX timeline cursor to the beginning

...the cabin loses passenger "tracking". Why ?

The realtime visualization of the tracking (when you move the cursor on the timeline) is not showing proper results, the "rectangle" moves wrongly or simply stands still.

BUT when rendering the video, the tracking is OK. So my suggestion is to follow the 10 steps mentioned above, and then just render the video without caring about the preview.

It's a "real-time" error. The computer is not fast enough in real rendering. Render the video and the problem disappears.
