Cool - thanks Kim - I will give that a run.
I've done it by hand for now but could need more precision, so this looks promising.

Yep - you can expression nulls to the animation of the trackers - they
appear in the explorer under the fxtree node - but be aware that their
motion is only X & Y - so lie flat in Z - and also when you do this,
your null motion will be based on a 702 X 576 screen - so you will have
to do the calcs to scale it all down to suit in your viewport - try it
-
when you have got a moving null based on the track - add another at
0,0,0 then frame your screen - most likely the moving null will be very
far away!
