    I did what I thought would be logical. I took my lines that I wanted to stay on the desk and attached them to a Null. I then tracked the map footage and used the Null as the target layer. The track looks great except that the rotation and position of my lines are way off. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. Check the pics. It stays tracked.. just in the wrong spot.

    precomp lines- apply track to precomp. Use Mocha if you have it.

    I tried that too, and no, I don’t have Mocha. Would it be an anchor point issue in correlation to the placing of the tracker points, possibly?

    you are tracking position and rotation – correct? If that is true, you may get an offset in position which can be fixed by repositioning using anchor point controls.
