  Object behind Footage with Mocha AE

  Posted by Frentzen Rafe on February 22, 2014 at 4:08 am

  Hello everyone, I’m just wondering how did they do an Object behind Footage. I know it’s a rotoscope, but I’m trying to make it with a tracking spline in Mocha Shape then export it to AE.

  In this video, I’m wondering how did they remove the background. I tried it with my own video, but once the character moves, the tracker loses control.

  
  

  I also tried to add Object behind my cat, but once when my cat moves, the tracker loses control. It only can track when the footage don’t move (not including camera)

  

  So my question is, How to nicely track a moving character (not loses control when the character moves) ?

  Thanks for the answers

  Motion tracking means tracking a group of pixels across multiple frames. It seems that you do not have a grasp of the fundamentals. I suggest that you head over to the Imagineer Systems Website and watch the basic tutorials over there.

  Start here – https://www.imagineersystems.com/videos/steve-wright-planar-tracking/view. Then look for the other tutorials in the “Learn mocha” series which were authored by Steve Wright.

  Then reinforce what you’ve learned with these other tutorials –
