  • How to get Mocha AE tracking to stay stable inside a Photoshop Smart Object?

    Hi guys, I’m trying to make a video mockup where a static image stays pinned to a frame in a moving video. I need the final file to be a PSD with a Smart Object so the art can be swapped easily.

    I’ve tried tracking the movement in Mocha AE and exporting it as a transparent video (TIFF/AVI) into the Smart Object, but the alignment starts drifting after just a second. I also tried manual keyframes in the Photoshop timeline, but it looks very shaky and unprofessional.

    Does anyone know the right workflow to get a solid, stable track from After Effects into a Photoshop Smart Object? I’m using an AI-generated background, which makes the tracking extra tricky.
