Back in the plugin, you’ll see two fields for Export Option and Layer Export To. All that’s left is to apply this tracking data to another object.Ĭreate a text layer in your composition. With the tracking data generated, you should now see that the tracking keyframes turn blue in the tracking data list. A popup box will appear, so make sure the gear icon is toggled for your clip layer and click OK. This time, in the Mocha AE Plugin in Effect Controls you are going to look at the Tracking Data dropdown box.Ĭlick the Create Track Data box to translate your motion tracking into data that can be applied to other objects. Give it a go and let us know how it worked out for your project by commenting below.Once again, use the X-Spline pen tool to draw around the building and track the motion, closing the Mocha AE plugin when you are content with the track. It also shows three different techniques: simple mocha Pro standalone compositing, Nuke compositing and Adobe After Effects compositing.

The tutorial covers planar tracking, stabilisation, insert module and workflow and assumes you know the basics of Mocha tracking & masking. Or to seam together for one long take, from multiple takes, i.e the beginning of Joss Whedon’s Serenity, or the recent film Birdman, which looked like it was one very long continuous take. Think Lindsey Lohan in The Parent Trap, twins appearing on screen at the same time. In the video Mary Poplin, shows how to create a seamless take composite from two hand held shots. The below video tutorial is recommended for ‘advanced users’, but give it a try none the less. Mocha Pro is still available as a stand-alone ( here) but Creative Cloud has a version of the program bundled, which is launched through AE. Mocha was once a stand alone program used for planar tracking, roto & mask creation, and a number of other features. For those of you who currently hold Adobe Creative Cloud subscriptions, this tutorial makes use of the bundled Mocha AE to create a seamless edge when combining two takes as one.
