    Posted by Chris Hiatt on August 25, 2005 at 5:34 pm

    Has anyone taken motion tracking data from another application (specifically mokey) and imported it into after effects? I’m having trouble figuring out how to even import tracking data in ae. I’m using AE 6.5 pro. The data I get from mokey is in a “txt” file with data for anchor point, x y position, scale, and rotation. The question is how do I apply this info. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    sa much as i know or remember ..
    in After Effects create a keyframe for position. copy that key, and paste it in Excel!
    now you can take Mokey txt doc open it and paste the txt data onto the excel doc (the AFX DOC)in the correct places.
    copy everything from the excel and paste it back in after effects.
    it should work
    Good Luck

    also see if mokey has a ‘copy to AE keyframes’ option like Commotion does. That way you just click on a potion parameter and selct ‘paste’ and they show up.
