stick a mask on a tracker motion?

[Danny Princz]

this is a feature that has been asked for a long time.

2 workarounds.

do your tracking on a null and your roto on a solid, then parent the solid to the null, and use the sold as a track matte.

option 2 is if you want to apply trackers to the individual mask points.
there is a script out there (you could probably find it if you search here even) that will do just that.

who is that masked man…

You can control mask vertices with a script from harmdanpath, named RotAE.jsx, you can find it here:

It works great, well… as good as your track.

Here’s a detailed post on adding a wiggle expression to a mask vetrice via Da Script, just lose the expression and you’e got it.

I don’t think I’ve ever said this on this forum before, but lol! That was so random yikesmikes.

How do I motion track on a null layer if I can’t see where to
place my corner pins?

I have a tilt down shot that I want to remove the shy in
and I can’t use a key because the sky is the same color as the rest of the image.

I can easly motion track the image but I want the tracking info applied to the mask
I create so I don’t grow old rotoing. The null / parent thing sounds like a great idea but I don’t get how to do it on a null layer.

Thanks!

what’s a good plug-in (hopefully free) to do this, I saw the site listed on the first reply post and he mentions some plugins, are there any to do this?

Tracker2Mask is a free script I did for this purpose.
Here you can download it and find some videotutorials:
