Importing Mocha tracking data into CS6
Hi all,
I’m successfully tracking an object (A computer monitor with motion, scale, rotation, shear and perspective all required) and then copying the tracking data to paste onto a text layer made in Illustrator. I’m trying to comp the text onto the monitor.
When I paste the data however, the text just “disappears”, as though the opacity has been turned to 0%.I’m flummoxed as to why this is happening. Am I missing something basic?
Any help would brilliant.

Parent text layer to a Null, apply track data to Null, use the Position controls in the text layer to re-position. Most likely your text layer is outside the visible area of your comp.

Pre-comp your Illustrator file into a compostion that is the exact resolution and frame rate as the tracked shot. Apply your tracking/corner pin data to this layer.

I’m with John on this one cos if you’ve tracked perspectives then there is a good chance that you’ll want corner-pin tracking data. And when applying corner-pin tracking data, you do not want to apply it to a Null but rather to the insert-layer.

My bad, I read again the post and I agree with John and Roland.
