Stabilize view around a layer

It would be great if AE had an option to stabilize the view around a selected element (layer or mask or anything). This would be VERY helpful for rotoscoping, removing stuff when content aware wouldn't work, and for correcting bad tracking (for exemple).

 

I'm currently erasing something frame by frame on an hand held shot, and I keep recentering the composition view.

 

Thanks for you help

Thanks Rick, but that's non what I'm talking about ^^

I'm not talking about workflow, but viewer options. If you want to take Mocha as an exemple, it would be the same stabilize view option you get once you have a track completed. 😉

I use Mocha AE to motion stabilize sections of a shot that I need to work on, then use the same information to put the movement back in the shot and add it to the repairs. It makes a lot of compositing, masking, and animating workflows a lot easier.  Here's a link to some basic Mocha AE training.

 

I have a tutorial that is just about ready to publish on the most basic workflow. You might also want to look at this tutorial of mine on what I call the Stabilized Power Pin workflow. It will easily solve s lot of compositing problems in a very efficient and effective workflow.
