I'm sure this has been talked about before but couldn't find anything...

I have a clip with a dissolve at the beginning and want to motion track an effect (e.g. a blur on something or the new colour correction shape) but the motion tracker looks at the looks at the clip on the timeline with the dissolve on it, not the source clip.

Any way around this other than putting the clips on different tracks in the timeline and adding transitions after the tracking has been done? Seems to me that the tracker should look at the actual source clip. What do you all think?

One way to do it:

Add a resize effect to the clip and leave the controls at default so that the resize has no effect.

Step into the resize effect and create your tracked blur in there. 

Very nifty, love it!
