Motion Tracking and Masks?

[Jeff Petersen]

But how do you actually use the script? it’s not an expression, and it’s huge, what parts work where?? i tried to read through it for clues, but i’m at a loss.
thanks for any help,
Jeff

I don’t know how the script works exactly but it’s not necessary to use it. Save it to your hard drive then go File/Run Script/Choose File and navigate to where you saved it. (you have to enable scripts in your preferences first or else it’s greyed out). When you run the script it will create a dialogue box, with the mask selected hit the “Apply Tracker” button, it will create a motion tracker with a point set at each of the mask vertices, now run the tracker as usual (take your time, if it loses the track go back and fix it, I think you can do a point at a time if necessary) when you have finished tracking select the mask and the tracker in the timeline and hit the apply mask button.
I’ve only tried it with relatively simple stuff but it’s an amazing script, all credit to the guy who wrote and posted it, I had nothing to do with it at all unfortunately, scripting kind of freaks me out and I was hoping they would convert it to actions like photoshop.
