tracking

Tracking allows you to track the movement of an object and then apply the tracking data for that movement to another object (such as another layer , text, or an effect control point) to create compositions in which images and effects follow the motion.

Feature Region defines the element in the layer to be tracked. Search Region defines the area that After Effects will search to locate the tracked feature. between frames. >New >Text

Attach point designates the place of attachment for the target.
