What is motion tracking in video editing?

In the video editing world, motion tracking is the process of tracking the movements of a specified object. These movements can then be applied to a new object; which will mimic the original object's movements. ~ https://www.cyberlink.com/blog/cool-video-effects/78/best-editors-motion-tracking
