All layers in this comp are 2D layers, but I used the track camera under animate so I could place text along the HVAC runs. Frame for frame when opened up in Ps, these images line up, but when placed into the comp, the alpha layer is not lined up as seen above–I’m assuming because of the camera tracking. What are my options to get this all to line up so I can TrkMat?

Thanks Darby and Roland.
I have a follow up question. I have two seperate passes of the exact same footage, one photoreal RGB, and one Alpha to mask out selected items. Why is it–and this is just my guess being new to AE; that when you use the 3D camera to track footage, when I bring in the alpha to matte, nothing is lined up anymore? Frame for frame, everything is off. How do I go about getting that done correctly? Or am I implementing a terrible workflow? I have attached an RGB image:
Basically, I have text that follows HVAC ducts as you orbit the scene, and I thought I would be able to highlight/make each system (HVAC and electrical) glow as that texts appears by using the alpha channel as a mask/track matte. Is that not possible?

Ok, so assuming my background is the footage, a series of TIFF’s, then I would duplicate that layer and put it on top of all my 3d text layers? Then mask that to reveal the text underneath where I want it revealed?
Why is it that after I put the 3d camera into the scene, I can’t apply masks within the composition panel; there are no options under TrkMat anymore?

By backing plate, do you mean the background?
