I would suggest different title of the video. Because its not really tracking masks, its tracking features / pattern / plane in the footage and rotoscoping the area with the help of stabilization. So basically its a classical roto workflow where you track something in the footage, you stabilize it, do you rotoscoping on stabilize area and you reintroduce the motion at the end. For a proper mask tracking, you can actually use that method for more tricky areas to track. Sometimes I would use delta keyer or something similar to select something of a particular color and track that with a planar tracker. It essentially creates occlusion mask to make it easier to track. So you are tracking a mask that also acts as an occlusion mask. Trackers, both planar tracker and regular tracker already include occlusion masks that are auto generated to avoid smaller occultions and not mess up the track, this is one mathod you can get decent occlusion mask you feed from the outside while also acting as a thing to track, providing the area is of similar color. Anything can be used to select area and make a mask to track. Even Magic Mask tool. But of course planar tracker works best with flat plane surfaces. My point is that in your video you are not tracking your mask, you are assisting the masking project by performing track first and stabilizing the area. So maybe some other more appropriate title would be better to use. Just a suggestion. otherwise its a good method to use. Cheers!
Ah man I just spent an hour right clicking and 'modifying with' and 'connecting to'...but it was this simple...subscribed!
How would you now replace with a matching brick wall to blend completely
I would probably then do a 3D track and replace the section of wall with a full CG wall. Hopefully I can do a similar tutorial soon.

Not even going to bother with the video
Thanks for saving me 4 minutes xD
Thank you so much!
super useful thank you!!
Wow what a great tip!!
Glad it was helpful! :)
