hi

I want to link a mask to the nose of a tracked face. Detailed face tracking gives me 4 relevant points. I draw a mask with 4 points and now want to link these but can`t find out how to access the individual points of this mask, it jshows me just one keyframe. Any idea?

    Read up on how this stuff actually works:

    There are no individual property streams, you have to modify the entire mask using expressions.

    thanks Mylenium

    wow this looks a bit complicated for a beginner;)  maybe someone has already a finished script where for linking a mask to some points and the mask follows position, angle and perspective?
