  Mocha Pro in After Effects – mulitple clean plates drifting

  Posted by Josh Mannis on February 29, 2024 at 12:09 am

  Hi All ~

  Dealing with another issue using the remove module in Mocha Pro, in After Effects.

  It’s a short clip (88 frames) so I was able to do it with one clean plate on the first frame, and one on the last.

  The area inside the removed object’s mask slides around – it’s a rug with a pattern so the movement is pretty obvious. Could this be an issue with the original track?

  I signed an NDA so I can’t share anything here – but it seems like someone out there must have encountered this before??

  Again thanks in advance!

  Hey Josh,

  Am I right in understanding that the first and last frames works fine, but inbetween it goes wrong?

  I am a great fan of Mocha Pro, but with some tracking jobs you might need to dumb-down the tracking process to only track the corners. Obviously this comment is made without having seen the actual footage.

  In any case, you should report it to the Mocha team. They might have a method of doing it, that is not obvious to the end user.

  Thanks – turns out it was problem with the track after all – it was picking up objects that confused it and made it jump around….
