Use

In Blender the motion tracking tools are in the Movie Clip Editor view/pane

We load the video clip

Here you may see i will limit my work to the segment going from frame 215 to 400.

i click the Add-Marker button and i position my marker over the green-tape X

As you can see i reduced the size of the tracked image marker, i made 2 tracks

Time to export the tracks

Open the blender script named mcjBlenderMarkersExporter.py
