Parenting the first tracker to the second tracker, links them together. This method of tracking, is good for long or wide panning shots, where track points goes in and out of frames. Thus, allows you to link multiple trackers into a fluid null object.

Save a frame of the video thats near the end of the video, as a photoshop file. Using photoshop to create multiple castles for the setting.

Import and copy the castles layer and paste it above your main compostition. Parent it to the first null object, allowing it to stick on to the background. (Image 3)
