Media Tracker Ghost

First you must create a media track ghost. You must have a start and finish line, then click 'create media tracker ghost.' You will then race the track as if you are validating the track. You can do this as many times as you need as you update your track.

Intro

Unlike In-Game and Outro, you cannot create clips for the Intro because the car is fixated at the starting line. Click on the 'add track' button, intros typically consist of custom camera angles and text. You can adjust the camera by using the arrow buttons on the keyboard and the left mouse button, and the scroll wheel on the mouse for zooming in/out.

In-Game

For In-Game media tracker you must add a clip and create a target for the clip. The target determines where the clip is activated. Move the target where you want it and click to place the target. You can have multiple targets and increase the size of the target by placing it in multiple spots. After creating a clip, add a track to the clip. In-Game media tracker typically consists of in-car cameras for loops and similar stunts. Choose 'Camera' then 'Camera Race,' then click the arrow button until you see 'in-car.' It's a good idea to increase the length the camera change stays in effect. You may want to create a second clip with nothing in it after the stunt is finished so the camera returns to it's normal position at the right time.

Outro

Same as In-Game, add a clip and create a target. The outro typically consists of custom camera angles and various effects.
