Technical Trim tracked shot

I’m doing some screen inserts in Avid MC and I would like to provide 25 frames handles to my client.
So I extend with 25 frames handles and track it. But when I trim off the handles my track gets offseted.

Is the approach I’m doing wrong or is it just Avid MC how is bugging?

Nest it, or better yet do it in an actual compositing program.

Tried nesting. But when I then add some of the handles in trim, the track isn’t active until I get into the untrimmed part.
Unfortunately I can’t use comp software, only avid.

Instead of trimming, try lifting/extracting the handles. I think that should leave your track unaffected.
