<p>I think you just need to break this into two steps. <strong>First</strong>, do the motion tracking and apply the tracking data to whatever. Render that out, or sub-comp it. <strong>Second</strong>, use AE (or just use your video editing software) to do the zoom-in where needed. There's not much benefit to doing it all in one pass, as far as I can see from your example.</p>

<p>I want to mimic effects some YouTubers use where they track an object then zoom in on the object that is being tracked. An example would be someone's head moving in a frame, and it cuts to a close up that moves with them. So far I've got track points but I'm stuck from there. A video of what I would like to get is here: <div class="youtube-embed"><div>
                <iframe width="640px" height="395px" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/i2DBEOO3-L0?start=0"></iframe>
            </div></div></p>

Can you post the time we should be looking at? I can't see the effect you're talking about, and that video is too horrible to watch all the way through.
