Wow! This is the best Mocha tutorial I've found so far. Thank you very much! I have used Mocha some, but now you have filled in a lot of blank holes. Will use it a lot more now. Very sofisticated tool.
Great tutorial. The only thing i miss is an explanation on why you do certain things and why they are important. I’ve been using mocha for years but it took me a long time to understand the layer order and it also gave me a lot of trouble when i used different resolutions without precomping. I think it would benefit some people to know some of these things. Thank you for the great tutorial!
Perfect tutorial, I normally go to Justin Odisho, but he neglected to mention the splane part and the grid, so this was really useful in hleping me get the actual track part right! Thanks Guys!
When I hit "Apply Export" to the precomp, nothing happens. The precomp is not applied/fitted to the surface as it should but it stays full screen, blocking out the main comp and everything else. It moves, so some tracking data is applied to it but it stays full screen and 2D. What am I missing? Thanks
Hey! It sounds like you might've skipped a step. Around the 8:32 mark, make sure you click on "Create Track Data" and then choose "Sign." Missing this could be why you're facing that issue. However, there's a chance something else might've gone wrong earlier too. I'd recommend giving it another go from the start and seeing if you end up with the same issue. I hope this helps!
Unfortunately, I did create the tracking data. You can tell by looking at the numbers under tracking data + the layer I wanted to fit on the screen is being tracked (it's moving) just not the right way. Actually, I have seen 3 tutorials of this same thing and none of them work so far... Any other ideas? Thanks!@@ActionVFXofficial
@@adamfarkas7069 Sorry that didn't work! We weren't able to reproduce the error, so in order to diagnose it, we'd need to see your project file. If you'd like, you can send that directly to me at david@actionvfx.com and I'll pass that on to one of our VFX artists. They can take a look at it and we'll work from there. Hopefully we can help you get this sorted out!
Thanks for the question! You will need to export the tracking data from Mocha into After Effects. Inside Mocha there should be a "Track" tab under the "Parameters" section below the preview window. Inside the "Track" tab, there will be a button that says "Export Track". Click this button, and it will ask for which format you will like to export this data as. There are a few different formats for After Effects, but I believe either "After Effects Corner Pin" or "After Effects Transform Data" would work for this shot. Hit save, and it will save the tracking data as a .txt file. Back in the AE project, create a null object. Select the null object, and then simply copy and paste the data from inside the .txt file directly onto it. After that, take the pick-whip of the layer you want to apply the tracking data to (in this case a layer with a mask creating the matte for the sign) and drag it to the null layer to set the null as the parent. Please let us know if you have any other questions!
hello I would like to ask a question. I am following you from Turkey. thank you very much. There's a script like this, and he's got a piece of paper. On paper, he writes history. But the person is holding the paper with his moving hands. And where it is 360 degrees, it rotates with paper. I want to change the text on this paper. How can I do this? What is the method

Long story short, no. Depending on your shot, sometimes you want to use Mocha, other times your shot might call for the built-in point tracker. It's all about what the project needs and your workflow preferences! :) -Danasa
Great tutorial but ran into a problem - once I applied a "Layer To Export" - the layer is extremely off-centered to where the mocha tracking was set to?! What happened?
No, Mocha AE does not currently support motion tracking with 3D GLB files (although AE has rolled out some beta tests of a version that can edit GLB files). Mocha AE is a planar tracking system and as such, it deals primarily with 2D footage. You will need to use a 3D tracking software or a comprehensive VFX program like Blender, Maya, or Cinema4D for that purpose. Hope this helps! If you have further questions, feel free to reach out to support@actionvfx.com.
@@ActionVFXofficial is it possible to get some help.. im searched high and low and cant get the answer! Im trying todo a screen replacement.. tracking is good but i want the replacement to sit behind the screen details ( sell the effect better) Ive seen the green screen method but im having issues removing the tracking points even using the matt cliping black and white it just wont land correct.. How do we create a custom shape for the replacement to sit in? .. as the planar is always square shaped but what about the phone detail or other situations where you might want it to replace a circle? I read you could ‘’mask’ it out but im really unsure on the process Ive spent hours and hours trying todo this and play around but i just cant figure it out?
@@DotAndDab Great question! Masking is probably the best way to get the results you are describing. You can go about it a few ways but here is a good tutorial walking through one way. th-cam.com/video/5XvTaTf5s_E/w-d-xo.html If you still have further questions, I'd recommend checking out some of Boris FX's tutorials. Hope this helps!

I can never get it right.... always messes up when you paste the corner pin. Image starts floating around not sticking to the plain
Hello! We're gonna help you out! :)
Do the floating corner pins look like they are delayed?

Thank You for this video. Very usefull!
needing a tutorial of this but mocha pro standalone
is this better than native after effects 3d tracking?
Hey, I didn't get why you picked a bigger area than the sign itself? I would love to know
thanks very much for this tutorial i love it
You're welcome! We hope it's helpful.
@@ActionVFXofficial Yes, I understood, and the way of explanation is wonderful,thanks
Do you have a video showing how to edit softs????
Does mocha tracking making the in-built AE tracking obsolete?

HOW DID YOU EXPORT MASK FROM MOKA UI?"??????!!!?!?!?!!?
If I understand your question correctly, I believe that's answered at 7:52. Let us know if you need any additional clarification!
Mocha Ae has become so damn hard to work with now. I used to be able to use it but now it makes no sense to me.
Never too late to get back into it
100th like 🥰✌️♥️
thanks
Good
I'm not able to create a tracking mask for a player... it´s impossible to surround him in a nice way and the mask never follows him... shitty tracker
I feel stupid, every couple of frame the mask flys off the screen.
