SPOT EXPOSURE in MAGIC BULLET - Can it move?

Does anyone have any ideas on how to make the Spot Exposure spot light move throughout a clip when using Magic Bullet?

Needless to say, the subject of a shot can have the tendency to move around. This Spot Exposure is a great feature but without some flexibility of motion, some of the utility will be lost.

(Wasn't sure what forum to put this in)
 
I am thinking, is there a paramter in motion where I can keyframe the shape and size of a feathered mask - and this parameter will approximate an increased spot exposure of a stop or 2?

I don't think just upping brightness is going to be equivalent to MB's increased exposure...
 
Don't know anything about FCP, but in AE spot exposure is keyframeable (sp?). Once the effect is applied open the layer, effects
 
At the beginning of the layer drag the spot exposure where you want it. Open the layer, effects, Looks, and set a keyframe.

Move down the timeline until you need to change the focus of the spot exposure, edit MBL, move the center of the exposure to where you want it. A keyframe with be set for you.

Continue with this until your happy.
