4 free point mask tool

[Thehardmenpath]

Hi.

To all cow members, sorry for insisting about this issue, but if they say they look here what the usual AE weak points are…

Sebastien, I made a script that puts a tracker data into a mask vertex, check it out here:

It’s got its bugs, but can help you with this workaround:

Make a mask in the layer (adjustment layer or whatever). Run the script. Select the mask and click on the Apply tracker. This layer, even if it doesn’t have anything to track in it, will have now a motion tracker.

PUT THE EXPRESSIONS IN THE ATTACH POINT VALUES OF EACH TRACKER.

Now, choose in the menu above: Animation/Keyframe Assistant/Convert Expression to keyframes.

Now select the mask and the motion tracker in the timeline (the one you can open to see Track Point 1, 2, etc). In the script palette, click on Apply Mask.

Each vertex of the mask will now have the same values as the related attach point.

It can drive you crazy if you want to check these things in real time, but that’s the cheapest solution I know for that. As far as I know, if you don’t convert the expressions to keyframes, you won’t get the results.

Hope that works.

I’ve got already your great script ! Thanks a lot for this addon !
