@SurfacedStudio 2 жыл бұрын

It simply makes it easier to track if you have a high contrast, stable image you are tracking. Gib can download many tracker images online or make your own - it just needs to be clear, high contrast and have some distinct shapes so the tracker has something to hold onto :)

Terrific instruction video, many thanks! I'm tracking multiple surfaces which require multiple masks .. all of which go off and back on screen. The video is about 2:40 minutes long, but requires tracking for the whole video and not dynamic linking with PP. In your introduction, you mention tracking multiple surfaces. Is it possible to do this in the one application of mocha on the base footage, or does it require additional applications of Mocha on the footage to separate the tracking and masking? Would you have an available video on this?

@VBugDenver 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the tutorial. You called this for Absolute Beginners and you explained things well, but my issue is, as beginner to software it is hard to learn when people use keyboard shortcuts. This seems natural to seasoned users but I am wondering if you learned the software using keyboard shortcuts or did you first learn the software using the menus and learning where these commands are? I think beginners need to learn the software and know where to find all of the steps using the menus. I typically learn where the commands are, then we start to learn keyboard shortcuts. I also find that many people conduct tutorials too fast. Beginners need to go a little slower and have time to absorb the information. Don't get me wrong, your instruction is great and you explain thing well, I just had a hard time keeping up and had to rewind many, many times, as I tried to learn the process. I liked your instruction an am now a subscriber. I'm a beginner in making short films, and I am trying to learn After Effects and the Mocha AE to add a wound to an actor's face in one of my scenes. I've gotten good at the surface tracking on a face, but I still struggle with how to attach my image to follow the tracking.

Hi, is there a simple way to replace the screen replacement video with another one, and not go through all the Mocha AE planar tracking, masking etc?

@SurfacedStudio Жыл бұрын

@SurfacedStudio Жыл бұрын

First off, can you reshoot your video? If so, don't use a white paper, use something that has a pattern or contrast so you can track it more easily :) Otherwise try tracking the 'outside' of the paper, e.g. extend the mask past the edge of the paper by a bit to give Mocha a chance to get the movement

@SurfacedStudio 3 жыл бұрын

You're welcome! What you'll need to do is use an "unwarp-warp workflow". You need to apply a lens correction effect (such as Optics Compensation) to your clip first to fix the lens distortion. THEN do the tracking on the corrected layer (make sure you pre-comp it) and then apply the lens correction the other way on your final inserted effect (again, make sure it's all pre-comped) to re-distort the footage :) If you are working with Mocha Pro, it has that functionality inbuilt via the Lens Module. Hope that helps!

@borisfxlearn 3 жыл бұрын

Just to let you know, Mocha Pro does have a Lens Module which is designed for this exact purpose. To track footage with Lens Distortion. It is a paid option" but might be worth it depending on your project. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7-BnbZ_zMuRlac.html

@lukastemberger 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you both, I'm testing it out today and it seems to be exactly what I need. The client even said he doesn't mind keeping it unwarped, since it's in 4K and delivery is 1080, so some of the "stretched" edges can be cropped out. Optics Compensation does the trick, but it's a bit of a guessing game and Mocha Lens Module does the calculations for me, so I think it'll be the way to go. Thanks again!

Did it track correctly within Mocha and you can see the shapes following your object correctly? What happens when you 'Display Matte' or 'Apply Matte' within the Mocha effect? Does that still line up? And most importantly - did you pre-compose your layer (and move all attributes into the nested comp) before applying the Mocha AE effect?

Haha, no worries at all Steve! Mocha takes a little to get your head around (took me a while too), but once you’re in there’s a ton of awesome stuff you can do with it :D

Doesn't work for me. Tracking is done right i can see the matte and the corner pin all correct but when i clcik on apply export, my image gets rescaled and doesn't stick to the footage. ???

@SurfacedStudio 2 жыл бұрын

Are you following along with this tutorial or using your own footage? You may need to pre-comp your layer if the footage you are applying the Corner Pin to doesn't fit exactly into your composition (and Scale is at 100%x100%)

Hello, I am having a frequent issue of the image/video I want to track scaling way down and shifting around when I apply the corner pin effect from Mocha. This has happened with any footage I have, and the project you supplied. I am dying here! What am I doing wrong?

@SurfacedStudio 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, I recommend to start out with the simplest possible test. 1. Get a really simple piece of footage - or use the sample from this tutorial. 2. In Mocha AE, create a single shape and track the surface of the benchtop for 10 frames, starting from the start of the timeline. Make sure the surface is cleanly tracked. 3. Return to AE. 4. Make sure the layer you want to use as the 'insert' is not scaled/rotated/moved and matches the size of your composition perfectly

@@SurfacedStudio Unfortunately no. I followed your instructions to the letter, and it still shifts far down and to the right. This has happened with every track I have ever attempted.

very odd, when myself and another more experienced Mocha user started the initial tracking, the track does not hold once the finger swipes in.... hmm

@SurfacedStudio 2 жыл бұрын

You may have drawn a slightly different shape around your phone, hence you may be getting slightly different results and behaviour during tracking. If in doubt, just create a garbage matte for any foreground elements that might be throwing off your track as shown in the tutorial :)

You need to create holdout shapes for any objects passing in front of the surfaces you're trying to track. You can adjust / change / keyframe your shapes as you track to match your footage

cool tutorial but with this footage my mocha inside after effects 2022 go crazy and never make a good tracking. I also made mask for the finger and everything I could to advantage mocha but every time something go wrong.

@SurfacedStudio Жыл бұрын

Make sure your layers are in the correct order - the ones on top will be held out from the ones below and that *greatly* impacts tracking. So does which pixels you include in each mask

I cannot figure this out for the life of me, I have a 37 second clip and for the first 5 seconds it follows my face and moves the video but then after that, it doesn't move the video, yet still tracks my face.

@SurfacedStudio Жыл бұрын

How does it ‘move’ the video? You mean after you applied the tracking? Have you tracked everything inside Mocha and are exporting the entire range to AE?

@curtisfunctionalhealthcoach Жыл бұрын

@Surfaced Studio I don't know how to explain it lol like you know those videos as their hand or something moves the camera follows it? I'm trying to do that and it works for the first like 5 seconds then no longer works, both in mocha and AE, it just stops moving the camera but still tracks my face.
