Is it possible, either in FCPX or Motion 5, to identify a point and have an effect follow it? An example might be if I were to have someone do a sword demonstration with a green marker at the tip so that I could follow it to draw lines, etc., without having to hand-animate every frame.
Thoughts?

Motion can do motion tracking.

you have diff. options in Motion5:
here, my first test to track a point(ing finger):
after tracking, you can apply any other 'element', in my test a title.
to create a line, I would apply a particle-emitter with some high 'frequency' to create a solid line

other option is to track 4-points, here a test with a sheet of paper
this allows a sort-of 'perspective' - no real 3D, you see at the end,
as Mocha/After Effects uses.

finally, lately came out a very handy plugin, SliceX

… ok, a plugin costing THREE-times than its host-app is a bit … surprising 😉
but very impressive!
Motion tracking?
