Keyframing a rack focus between characters

Hi - I have 2 characters in a scene, one is foreground and the other is deeper in the background. I’d like to keyframe a rack focus between them. But I can’t seem to do it. I’ve tried tracking the first and then putting in keyframes and switching in the details tab to the 2nd character and that didn’t work. I’ve tried keeping it manual and eye dropping the characters one by one. But the eye dropper makes everything go out of focus.
Anyone having success with a method I’m not using?

I would just manually key the focal length.

Thanks! I realized it was because there was a non-spawned version of the character in the set. And the duplication of identity seemed to be freaking it out.

LIVE AND LEARN! It’s working now.
