For those who have issues when adding the tracking data to 'Illumination', this is the solution: 1. Export Tracking Data > After Effects Transform Data [position, scale, and rotation] 2. Create a Null Object and paste it there. 3. Depending on which frame your effect is aligned to, parent the 'Illumination' layer to the Null Object. This is because by exporting it as a Corner Pin from Mocha, the corner pins are actually on the edge of the mask itself. Since our 'Illumination' composition setting is 1920x1080, it gets shrunk to match the mask's corner pins when copied over.

Could you please elaborate on this more, I exported the tracking data into the null object but it just adds the corner pin effect and doesn’t acc track with the footage, could you please please provide any more info on what to do to make it work? Thanks

FOR ANYONE HAVING TROUBLE COPYING TRACKING DATA TO ILLUMINATION MAP: I had the same problem as many of you where when I tried to copy my tracking data over from my solid to my illumination map, it would resize it or just not work. So what I did was changed a few of Andrew's instructions. 1. Use the "X-Spline" tool in Mocha instead of "Bezier" pen. 2. When exporting your tracking data, choose "After Effects Transform Data [position, scale, rotation]" 3. Instead of copying the data to a "solid", copy it to a "null" layer 4. Instead of copying the data from your null to your illumination map, simply parent the "illumination map" to the "null" layer. Hopefully these changes help you guys as much as it helped me.
