Tracking a point in a video and plot graphs

I want to track the motion of a double pendulum that is released from different angles, i have no idea about how i can track something in MatLab. I recorded several videos of the double pendulum, now i wanted to set a dot/point on the lower and upper pendulum in MatLab, but it is not that easy as i thought. I would be nice, if anyone could explain me some basics steps or so. Many thanks in advance for your answers.

You can use the Computer Vision System Toolbox to track motion of objects in a video. You can refer to the following documentation link for a detailed description on this:
