I have been struggling for weeks to figure out how to do this for an assignment and by far your tutorial has been the most informative and helpful at helping me do what I wanted so thank you so much!!! Wonderful work!🙌👏
Honestly, when I search tutorial for how to use mocha and try it, 3 videos before I tried all things get error, but this is the 4th and I try it, the result is success, this is the best mocha tutorial !!thank you !!

Excellent tutorial, except I would add to make sure that you have no edges showing within the shape in mocha. It's okay if what you need to superimpose overlaps with the phone but there cannot be any gaps. Also, was also doing a vertical phone screen and when I rotated it -90 it made it rotated on the final result. It worked when I didn't rotate it. I'm not sure why it worked for you and not me, but something to play with if other people are having the same issue!
@@linestodesigns Yea I was also wondering why you had to rotate the screen replacement? Other tutorials say you need to 'fit to comp' making it stretch in the precomp but good on the main comp
Thanks... I'm missing something. I've tried 6 times from the start. I don't get the layer control window when I hit 'tracking data' and I don't seem to have the option to 'apply export' after sizing up the screen footage... I'll circle back around.
I tried this and for some reason when I apply the track data, the layer moves off the screen. Both layers have the same resolution and aspect ratio. I don't know what is happening :(
@@PaginaDeRedSocial What I did is create a null object and then create the track data and apply it to that null object. Then I took the image/video, converted it into a pre-comp and make the null object the parent layer. I don't know if it makes sense, my english isn't very good. That did work and it didn't broke the aligment
Amazing video! Having a bit of trouble when a mobile device pans in from off screen into the shot and trying to get the recording to keep on it as it zooms into frame. Any advice on when it comes from off screen or if the phone is rotating so the screen disappears for a second?
Great question, personally I would actually use 3D camera tracker in Ae for this one- it’s better with tracking scene and objects especially when they are coming in and out of frame.
Yes you can! Mocha AE is super precise and does an impressive job even without crosshairs, if you select the spots on the screen edges that have the most contrast it will pick up the track easily! Thanks for watching!
amzing tutorial, Can you please show me how to use mocha tracking for real estate and landmarks on the property with lines and text? I would really appreciate that. Thank you so much.
Hi, could you please inform me how to fix in the middle of tracking? Should we stop the auto tracking and then put keyframe and adjust the shape? Or can we use the "Manual Tracking"? Or "Adjust Track?" I've tried them all but when i tracked until the end of the timeline .. the front part suddenly got drifted. Thank you so much
Hi there - here’s my workflow I usually go by -Let the tracker track forward until you see a drift. -Stop the tracker as soon as you notice an issue. -Manually adjust the track point using either manual tracking or realign the tracking points -Continue tracking from where you left off.
Well, it would be much easier to remove and adjust the corners of the overlay in its comp. The easiest way is to add a picture of this phone (e.g. find in Google). Or simply mask out the corners of the overlay, and then lock the main comp (make a two-screen view) and adjust the masks. But it's just my opinion, based on my personal practice. And of course, it would be useful to say a couple of words about compositing, at least mention some basic adjustments, like matching the color (tint), grain, noise...
@@linestodesigns th-cam.com/video/A9H3HYdxs-A/w-d-xo.html This is my work, I've replaced around 350 messages in 150 scenes, so I can say that I know what I am talking about ;) But the video is really useful for beginners. Thank you.
I am doing exactly the same things as you with horribly different results... when I apply the export to the top layer it is not fitted to the screen but covers my entire screen in the main comp and starts warping and moving -- some tracking is being done but the top layer stays full screen.
Make sure your top layer you are superimposing is the same as the composition proportions- you can achieve this by pre-comping the layer before you apply the tracking data to it
I am following the instructions to the T... I even made sure the overlay is already the exact shape and size as the clip. When I try to link them up, the overlay shrinks and rotates and appears way outside of the bounds of the video, as if it was put where the video finishes. HOW DO I MAKE IT WORK?!
Make sure you are selecting the “align surface” in mocha and also making sure your overlay layer is precomped to ensure it’s the same exact proportions as your main comp - hope this helps!
Great question- I have another video that covers exactly that - 3 Methods to Mastering Screen Replacement in After Effects th-cam.com/video/LPg1Byc23q8/w-d-xo.html
it tracks horribly to my footage I had a green screen with cross hairs and still slips everywhere. I end up key framing hundreds of frames by hand and the end result is still terrible.
Same. Trying to track a high quality video of a phone with green screen that I have made on Blender, good lighting, but Mocha is just incapable of following the screen edges. I fix it manually and it constantly moves the previous ones that I already repositioned. Very frustrating and disappointing.
@@LehimobI’m trying to understand your comment. You made a phone in Blender. You then rendered it out of Blender and brought it into AE in order to track it with Mocha AE for screen replacement? If I have described the issue correctly, there is a script for Blender that allows you to export the 3D data and import it into AE. You wouldn’t need Mocha AE (in this scenario).

Thank you for this tutorial, I had to use footage like this but without the crosshairs, just the green screen. still Mocha did the job just fine!
Great! Thanks for watching
Oh if only I had discovered this earlier, this is going to make my ob so much easier now
👍🏼👍🏼
First time using mocha AE and I have to admit that your tutorial is great. But I found using null object easier than trying to fit to comp size :)
Glad it helped! Yes null object method works as well! Thanks for watching
Your screen reflections on the phone? Just a solid/gradient sliding over in the pre comp, right?
You saved me man. Thanks a lot. Loved it!
Glad I could help!
Simple and effective. Keep up buddy
Thanks, will do!

How would one track something to the screen without the green screen stuff already there?

Can we still track the corners precisely if the screen only has a green screen without the crosses?

"Display this image [X.jpg] on phone screen thru all video"
Oh piss off. lol...This is harder...
It tracks things off screen
thats literally the only thing i use it for lol
you are working too fast and did not show how to open or which button need to click. I am prettry sure this video is not for beginners 👎👎
Beginners don’t use mocha. You’re at the wrong place
