This is a too general question. What do you want to track and how do you want to track?  
Single point, two point, planar, perspective, 3D camera track?

I try to track single point / two point and planar track it not work  
I will use 3d object to wrap pack and try to track but it doesn’t work.

It would help if you can share the footage you’re trying to track. We can’t comment without seeing the plate.

I now know why I can’t track. It might be because I didn’t change the FOV of the camera.

Are you working in AcesCG? If so, a Color Management to Rec 709 for tracking purposes helps.

My first question is can you track an axis to the point you are trying to track?

If not, what is happening? Is the tracker not sticking? Does it track for a few frames and then fly offscreen?

If the point track works and the axis sticks to your tracked point, it may still not look correct when a 3d object is in the scene due to camera movement. When camera is only panning and tilting, a point track is usually sufficient, but if there are zooms you’ll need a 2-point or planar track, and if the camera is moving through the scene you will need to do a camera track instead of a point or planar track.
