Mocha AE corner pin problem
Hello.
I have an issue with Mocha AE. I’m trying to track my computer’s screen and trying to pull it away from the borders so it looks like a hologram screen.
Now I’m trying to track my screen in Mocha. My problem is when I have tracked my screen with x-spline, planar surface doesn’t match all the time to my screen. When it tracked my screen I had to adjust those points and I made about 10 keyframes for tracking data.
Okay so here is few pics to explain my problem 🙂

I hope it will explain my problem better than my bad english 🙂 -

It is not clear, in your post, if you adjusted points on the tracking spline or the Planar Surface. Take note that you should be adjusting the points on the tracking spline since the Planar Surface is essentially a child layer of the tracking spline. IOW, the Planar Surface reacts to tracking data that is acquired within the tracking splines.
For tracks that seem to misbehave or require finessing, you should use the Adjust Track module. It is in this module that you manually adjust the Planar Surface to perfectly fit your tracking requirements if the tracking module doesn’t provide you with sufficiently precise tracking results.
With specifics to your tracking task, I would try to track the entire screen instead of the parts that you have indicated with the tracking spline. A larger area will almost always lead to more tracking accuracy. You should also look at applying Perspective tracking and ensuring that Percentage of Pixels used is set to a high value – 90% will be a good number.
