Hi Jarret,

if you don't want to link each mask vertex to a separate Null but rather want to influence entire regions of the mask shape with a null, Tracker2Mask's local mode is also an alternative. Essentially, it creates circles and if you move a circle all mask vertices contained in it move with it. You can also animate the radius or even feather the circles to only influence vertices partially.

Here is a tutorial showing this technique:

Cheers,
Mathias

You should be able to do this with TrackerViz. Make sure it's set to use expressions rathe= r than keyframes, and the mask should update live as you adjust the nulls.

Subject: [AE] Controlling mask positions with nulls

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a project where I really nee= d to be able to control a mask's position wit= h a null or another layer. In other words, if I move a null from point A to point B I'd like the mask to follow. Moving the entire layer that the mask is on is not an option unfortunately. I should also mention that there are multiple masks which need to be controlled within the same comp.

Many thanks
