Inserts
Inserts are achieved using the Transform node. When the Data output of a Roto, Tracker or Mocha Pro node is plugged into the Transform node’s Data input, the Layer > Surface corner points are used to set the insert corner-pin.
1 In the Trees window, add a Transform node from the Nodes > Transform group and connect it to the source node.
2 Drag a Tracker node from the Nodes > Transform group onto the source node.
A new branch is created.
3 Connect the Tracker’s Data output into the Transform node’s Data input located at the top right of the node.

The Surface icon displays the selected layer’s surface when in Transform mode. By default, the Surface is set to the corners of the layer.
7 Adjust the Surface corner points with the on-screen controls to match where the insert should be placed.
