Apologies if I'm missing something. Wouldn't it have been easier to eschew masks and tracking, and simply use a pencil filter, or whatever to your original image?
I'm doing a lot of work with Studio Artist these days, and saving out image sequences.
There's also Boris and Gallery Effects.

After trying Tracker2Mask, I wrote Matthias to say that he just kicked Imagineer to the curb.
The ability to average multiple AE trackers with TrackerViz gives incredibly accurate results, which you can
apply to your open splines with Tracker2 Mask. It does what Mocha can't yet do. and all without leaving ae.
yes it can take a bit more time to do all the tracks, but the results are top notch.
I have not tried it yet, but i theorized there must be a way to leverage the AE 3d tracker and the 2Dto3DScreenspace script to do something similar.
Wondering what the best solutions are to apply motion tracking data to open masks (splines). This is mainly wanted to help in morphing/warping situations with our RE:Flex. Note that Mocha would be a good solution if it supported open splines (which we've requested!).
Also, using adjustment layers don't really work, because of the way that adjustment layers interact with our plugins.
Looking for global to apply motion tracking data as a transform of position, rotation scale as well as applying to a single point.
