Attach emitter to a stationary object

I have some video of some objects that the camera is moving around. I'm trying to attach an emitter (using motion tracking) to these objects.


The problem I'm having is that the smoke emitter thinks it's moving (which affects the smoke trails).


How do I make the smoke emitter a stationary object with no motion effects?

Try setting the Attach to emitter parameter to 100. It's in the inspector for the Emitter/Cel.


From the manual:

Attach To Emitter: A slider that determines how closely particles follow the position of a moving emitter. If set to zero, particles follow their own path after being emitted, resulting in particles that trail along the motion path the emitter is following. If this parameter is set to 100, in the absence of other behaviors, all generated particles follow the emitter, surrounding it in a moving cloud of particles.
