    Is there anyway if getting control over nodes in a mask or mask line. I’m thinking in terms of a single line with three nodes,start, middle and end. This can be stroked to produce a line.
    Is it possible to attach the ends of this line to a point so that the line always stretches between two moving points? Its like the paddle/ball but instead of using a layer, a mask.

    Yes, it’s possible, see this post last week on the other AE forum:

    There are two different scripts to control mask verticies, the second is for only one vertex as far as I can tell, but it converts expressions to mask vertex changes directly.

    If you use the Roto script, then convert you expressions to keyframes and then paste them into the corresponding Track Point.
