Position and Velocity Measurements of an Oscillating Beam

[JPhil]

I am looking to use ImageJ to measure position and velocity of an oscillating beam in time. I currently use software to manually mark a point on the beam for each frame and calculate distance over time by calculating pixels per frame. The problem is I need to click on a point on the beam manually for each frame (which is thousands of frames per second).

Is there a way for ImageJ to track a point as it moves through multiple frames so that I don't have to manually click the point on each frame?

I have shared a link to a time sequence I captured using a different software package (VideoPoint).  Disregard column C (x [m]) as my beam is only moving in the y-direction.  Column E (v_y [m/s]) and F (dt (s)) I calculated separately after capturing the y position by manually clicking on each frame.  Column E is simply (y2-y1)/(t2-t1) and column F simply (t2-t1).

Thank you for any assistance.
