    Very well exposed, plain and simple. "The Secret" is what I was looking for and nobody ever explained. I was going into camera projection and stuff like that... Since "removing things" is a large part of my job, this REALLY saved my life, forever. Thank you very much and keep up the good job!

    Awesome tutorial! New to Mocha. Question: So I followed your steps. I created two masks, 1st mask was the stop sign and 2nd mask is the street sign. In the Patch comp, when I turn the video into a guide, it throws off the 2nd mask (street sign). This only happens when I don't make the video a guide. Do you know why this would happen?

    • @fredcastro4252
      @fredcastro4252 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      It is floating. Unfortunately it´s not such a solid track. I´ve had the same issues with mocha. Sometimes it´s just better to use PF track or even After effect´s built in 3d camera tracker, place a solid there, and use it as a matte. Pretty much the same process but with a different tracking method, and you would still be able to do a little 3d insertion into the shot as well since you would get 3d tracking info and not just planar. But it´s still a very good tutorial, just the track slips a little bit.

    Thank you Mark for this AMAZING tutorial. And I really want to dive into the full course with you. But my mac seems to take the Mocha tracking time with much more time and difficulties, prompting 'nothing left to track' error message several times. I'm guessing it's due the machine . And how powerful of a machine would be required to take the "VFX For Motion" course? [I have a MacBook Pro (13-in, 2017)

    I'm having a problem tracking night-time drone footage of a building facade the camera is approaching. I'm trying to create corner pins to create a vertical line/plane for text to track floating just above the footage of the building facade, but the vertical space I created with with the shape tool leans backwards as the created shape moves closer to the camera. I can correct the tracking shape, when I scrub through the footage, but the corner pins lean backwards even though the tracking shape doesn't. When I try to correct the perspective of the corner pins at each end of the footage, it continues to distort. Should I try instead to the Motion Tracking instead?

    It looks great tracking wise but the design of the new sign is flawed.
    When you altered the perspective of the logo you gave it the wrong perspective. Now the motion of the sign into frame looks really trippy. I think the perspective warp was unnecessary to begin with. You could've just photoshopped the logo into the clean plate. That would've been more efficient. You could also add the shadows over top of the logo in photoshop.
    This would be more effort but I think it would save time AND it would make the motion of the logo into frame not look so trippy.

    I appreciate the tutorial but you move too quickly through several parts and fail to mention some key steps that leave those of us new to this approach scratching out heads. The cursor jumps around too much to areas not associated with the steps and the screen cuts are too harsh which further confuses. You need smoother transitions from zoom to not zoomed and cursor location highlighters... In the end I've had to spend a couple hours going though it several times only to have substandard results. I still do not understand how to get my replacement assets to to match there actual size 1:1 and my track drifts... and all I'm trying to do is apply a label to a box that pans off screen.
