Q: Locking mask down on moving image?

Is there a tracking tool in FCPX?

 

I've put an 8 pt. mask (from FCPEffects.com)  on a computer monitor in a shot.  The layer underneath contains the shot I want ON the computer monitor (a still basically).  The principal shot is moving just slightly.  I did a bunch of keyframes to keep the mask in the appropriate location, not ideal because it isn't locked with the image.  But when I have the still in the underneath layer ... I'd have to keyframe every second frame.

 

I'm just wondering if there is a tracking function in FCPX, like there is in Motion, and if so, where I could start looking?

 

Otherwise I'll go work with Motion.  But it would be nice to be able just to keep everything in FCPX.

 

All ears,
