Does AE CS4 have a Track Mask Forward? Can’t find it.
Please, oh, please tell me there’s a way to do Track Mask Forward in AE CS4.
It doesn’t have the forward and backward play arrows on the Mask Path. I can’t find any feature on any menu that looks like it would do the trick.
Please tell me there’s a way. I’d rather hear “Baby Shark” on continuous loop forever than do this project frame by frame. -

I would rather listen to Baby Shark on a continuous loop than use anything Adobe from that era 🙂

Hey Corinne,
Good to hear that you are still hanging in there, and that you have migrated your masking and tracking to AE, although still on CS4.
Best advice: In AE CS4 you have a free version of Mocha included – nothing like the version that you will find in the latest CS version.
There is a video, amongst many, to get you started here:
“After Effects CS4 Essentials Mocha Tracking Application”
https://youtu.be/bC5hz-Lpfw4If you want to go really advanced, BorisFX is offering you a 14 day trial of the latest Mocha Pro 2022 standalone:

PLEASE NOTE THE WARNING: Any Mocha projects created in the trial version, can NOT be opened later in the paid for version.Also, later versions of Mocha have a lot more functionality, and a steeper learning curve,
With that in mind, give the free version of Mocha inside AE CS4 a spin first, and hopefully that will sort you out.
Good Luck!
Mads
