Body: <p>I'm experimenting with motion tracking and screencasts. The motion tracker in Motion 5 has problems tracking a very basic shape though. I was wondering if someone may know why and how I could get the tracker to work properly?<br>
  The problem is that as soon as I hit analyze the tracker analyzes two or three frames then stops. I tried a couple of different settings but couldn't get it to work.  </p>

  <p>Thanks</p>
