Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for tracking regions within a media item. A method includes identifying a region in a first frame of a media item using a first user specified position; calculating, based on the first user specified position and on tracking data, an estimated position of the region within a second frame of the media item and an estimated position of the region within a third frame of the media item; adjusting the estimated position of the region within the second frame to a second user specified position; blending, by a processing device, the estimated position within the third frame based on the second user specified position of the second frame to generate a blended position within the third frame; and storing, in a data store, the blended position within the third frame.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for tracking and distorting regions within a media item. A method includes identifying a region in a first frame of a media item using a first user specified position, calculating based on tracking data an estimated position of the region within a second frame of the media item and an estimated position of the region within a third frame of the media item, adjusting based on user input the estimated position of the region within the second frame to a second user specified position, blending the estimated position within the third frame based on the user specified position of the second frame to generate a blended position within the third frame, and modifying the third frame to distort the region underlying the blended position.
