I know how you feel, I’ve dealt with similar stuff myself, mainly with blurring out license plates in some footage.
Anyways, what I would do is track the footage all the way up until the foreground truck starts to mess with your trackers, then go to the end of the footage and track it backwards until the foreground truck messes with your trackers as well. Then, I know it might suck, but you might have to go in and move the tracker by hand or at least the corner pins by hand for those frames where the truck is obstructing. It’s only like a second and half if that.
Trust me, this ain’t that bad, try working with hand held footage that is all over the place!!! I almost went insane!! Good luck, hope that helps.

Thats really cool, could you explain in more detail how you got that effect to work? That would be great, thanks! Nice work!

Yeah, I’ve asked the same question before and found out that the graph editor in After Effects is only a time and speed editor. I was a little annoyed when I found this out and felt a little cheated into thinking that the new 7.0 “Graph Editor” feature was more like I guess wha I was used to in 3D apps, but it wasn’t.
Anyways, the short of it is, you can’t change the position coordinates of a layer using the graph editor. Unless there is some expression way that someone might have made up, but I don’t know if that is possible. Probably not what you wanted to hear, wasn’t what I wanted to either.

I see what you are saying, but there are times when it still might be useful, no?
If I wanted to sylize some footage and fool around with that is white and what is black or mids, it would come in handy. Plus it would be a really qucik and easy way to do that.
I don’t see they can’t just have it as an option. Is there a way to maybe do this in a workaround way?

Did you try animating the “offset(turbulence)” attribute in the Turbulent Displace Effect? Just animate the target for that attribute going up or whatever direction you want. Should give it an upward motion effect. I’m just sayin.
