How can I extract and "flatten" tracked footage so I can work with it directly in 2D?


#1

I feel like what I’m looking for is relatively simple, I’m just having trouble articulating what it is.

For the project I’m working on, I need to be able to go up to the wall, touch it, then have an effect based off my hand’s imprint. Here’s a very crude example of what I’m going for using rotobrush and Mocha:

However I want to be able to pull that 2D plane where the hand is touching so I can apply the follow effect to the wall:

The effect relies on Classic Color Burn so I need that tracked plate to work with. Is there a way for After Effects to project that tracked plane in 2D?

Ended up doing the planar tracking in Nuke then exporting the inverted, or stabilized, corner pin footage over to After Effects.
