How to make a text layer follow mask path?

Premiere Pro 2024. 

 

So I have a text layer on top of my background-video layer. I traced an object on my background layer and created a masked path of it. And now I need my text layer to follow the same path, so it looks like the text is stuck to the object. Hopefuly I wass able to describe it correctly.

 

Looks like a simple task but I'm having trouble doing this. Simply pasting the mask to the position property doesn't work. I'll add a fefw screenshots.

 

Any help would be appreciated!

Either keyframe the text manually or use Motion tracking in After Effects.

However, there is a plugin for this:

Thank you. So even if I already have the path in Premiere pro, I still can't apply it to the text layer without the plugin or using After Effects instead?

No you cannot

premiere does not do motion tracking

as said before it is either manually, after effects or the plugin
