Hmmm, I dont know precisely what effect you are looking for....
Maybe it is panning what you want to do? Object goes to left, you want the picture to follow that movement?
Here is a suggestion: have a look at the Crop/zoom/pan option. Start with a keyframe at the beginning of the clip and zoom in (as you may not want any black outside the screen? If you dont mind the black borders then don't zoom in) and position the screen in the vacinity of the object. Then move the clip forward to a place where the object has moved a bit and move the screen again in the vanicity of the object and add a keyframe. If you make keyframes with a proper space, then PD will move the screen with the object from keyframe to keyframe. I would assume that you you have to play a bit with the position of the keyframes to make sure that the object is followed like you want, adding more or dropping a few keyframes may get it right?1
If this is not what you are looking for, maybe send an example?
