So I'm doing some image correction in AE for a music video as well as some tracking and masking.
Take a look at the image at the following location...

I'm trying to get rid of the advertisements in the background like I did in this test image...

The director is very married to the blooming glow'd look of the second image. The problem is the way I glow'd out the advertisements in the second image is that I duplicated the layer applied a series of masks around each advertisement and then applied a fast blur and glow effect to the layer, in effect, blooming out the advertisements. When I created the effect, I thought all I'd have to do is track the motion of each advertisement, apply the tracking motion to a null, and then parent the mask to the null, except I didn't think when I was creating this effect that masks don't have "position" data on their own. Their position data is tied to the layer.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to a work around?? I really really really don't want to have to roto these masks into place.
Lemme know,
Ben
