Hi,
I was just wondering if it was possible/how i would go around linking parameters from seperate nodes to a rotoshape point? or linking rotoshape x/y data to a parameter of another node? I was also wondering if its possible to save rotoshapes into macro form without losing your preMade shape when the macro is loaded?
cheers

Haven't tried a macro with a pre-made shape (although I'd just make my macro have an input and feed the roto you want if it doesn't work).
I too have tried linking expressions to rotoshape points. From my experience the only sort of linking I've been able to do is from a tracker node (like Shake sets up when you tell it to attach tracker points to rotoshape points). I've tried manipulating the tracker data with simple math like trying to move it up 10 pixels, but the rotoshape ignores the math and just leaves it locked to the tracker. So it looks like it can only be locked to trackers, but nothing else expression wise. I don't think you can pipe rotoshape point x/y info into other expressions either. If you find out otherwise, I'd love to know because I've been waiting for that feature.
Yeh I had a look at the tracker node that gets attatched to a rotoshape point and found the exact same things that you did. I've heard that people were accesing points within quickshape nodes back in the windows days but im not to sure how true this is! I'll keep digging around until something pops up!
cheers
