Corner Pin a Mask
So I have some phone footage – I’m trying to isolate part of this and comp it onto another phone plate.
I can mask the area I want but I can’t use the corner pin tool very well because it will always use the original comps four corners. It helps if I precompose the layer and shrink it down to the desired size but this doesn’t help much when the phone footage is at a sharp angle.
Is there any way the corner pin effect can be applied to a rectangular mask?
Many thnaks in advance.

I have exactly the same problem.
I want to distort a small shape path like a trapezoid. A simple perpective distortion.So the pins of the corner pin effect has to be exactly on two corners of the shape. Thats only possible if i reduce the composition like you discribed. But if the shape is not parallel to the rectangular compostion window – that dont work.
I wonder if there is not a simpler solution. I tried other conrner pin effects like CC Power Pin and BCC Corner Pin but did´nt find a way.
Also there is a free transform tool in AE. But i can´t apply it to the shape path?
