I did some motion tracking and added a plane track, and the camera changes angles somewhat. When it changes, the plane track slides off a little bit. Since I can't fix the trackers very well, is it possible to animate the plane track so when the angle changes it will still be in place? Thanks!

You can manually place the trackers in place where they drift. Just select the tracker, press G to move it and place it where is should be. – Aug 29 '15 at 18:52
Yes, it's just time consuming to do that for every frame, and I don't believe that is the main problem, I think I may have some sort of distortion or something, because the tracks seem to be staying in the right place. – Anson Savage Aug 29 '15 at 18:54
can you illustrate your issue? – Aug 29 '15 at 18:54
Sure, but it will take a little bit. I'll upload some pictures in a while. – Anson Savage Aug 29 '15 at 18:55
@cegaton Okay, I uploaded some images if you're interested. Thanks. – Anson Savage Aug 29 '15 at 20:02

Why are you not tracking the corners of the frame? – Aug 29 '15 at 20:08
@cegaton They were sliding out of place too much. I was kind of suprised how much they wanted to move inwards. – Anson Savage Aug 29 '15 at 20:12

The points you are tracking are too close together. Add points at either end of the bench so blender has a way to calculate the distortion. – sambler Aug 30 '15 at 14:19
