Create trackers along the vector points for tracking, and after tracking, apply the whole mask to these vector points. So far, it has also some interpolation functions for a fullkeyframed masks that are helpful for corrections.

I am working on it, I’ll publish it here as soon as I can. If you want to take a look at it, throw me a mail as I said and I’ll send it to you!

And if not, in a matter of days I will probably end that script I talked about some time ago. Rotomasks ARE POSSIBLE with aescript, results have been fascinating so far and the script works but it needs lots and lots of polishing and cleaning.
If anyone wants to test the script (beta), please send me an email to my nickname @gmail.com

It looks like a footage with a wrong interpretation. In the footage window, chose the secuence, right click, interpret footage. And put there the fps it’s supposed to have.

After talkin with a friend about it we came to some more nice credits: The Forrest Gump feather, the Secondhand Lions (end credits), Natural Born Killers, Delicatessen, many of the Pink Panther movies, The Terminal… check these out.

Create a new camera and a new solid. Parent the solid to that new camera. Then copy all position/rotation/etc values from your ‘good’ first camera to that new one. Now change the parent, associate the solid to the good camera and delete the new one.

I would add the one of the Terry Gilliam openings for Monty Python Flying Circus and/or that impressive secuence at the beginning of Catch me if you can by Kuntzel + Deygas.
As a comment I would point out that Motion tracking + Rotoscoping has become so affordable to do, it’s created a style, as text integrates with the backround, becoming part of it and being put behind moving elements. I think the first time I saw something like that was in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and it took a lot of time to become what it is today (say a lot of spots and that impressive Panic Room opening)

Perhaps you could use another program to convert the divx files into another more AE Friendly format. Even if you could import them, it would cost you A LOT to work with them, as they are designed for viewing them in a linear way.
You can download Virtualdub at https://www.virtualdub.org/ or other freeware programs that perhaps can open the files.
Oh, and you should convert them to a format as lossless as possible (virtualdub default, by the way), as your divx versions have probably lost a lot of quality so far, and you surely want to keep them as good looking as possible.

Or precompose and remap the new composition in the main timeline.
