Motion tracking, in its simplest form, is the process of tracking the movement of an object within a piece of footage. Once [collected, this track data can be applied] to another element or object.

OBS

Match moving is not to be confused with motion capture, which is the process of tracking [an object's or an actor's] performance and translating that onto a digital [object or] character.
