I move my play head to the middle of the timeline and make any adjustments as needed

Tracking

I Set my time where I want the Track Reference Time to begin

For the Motion Type, I just go with Perspective since it is the camera that is moving

Now that I have everything in order, I click on Track to End to start the actual tracking

I then click on Go to go back to the original frame and Track to Start to finish the track

Import Image

I drag-and-drop my image onto the node area and rename it

I make sure to use an image that is the same aspect ratio as the screen I’m replacing

To add the image, I select the Planar Tracker node and change the Operation Mode to Corner Pin

Now I can drag the corners of the image into place With the corners in place, I can now connect the output of the image node to the input of the Planar Tracker node
