Mocha AE puzzle

Don’t delete any keyframes after you paste the tracking data in AE. Also, make sure you are pasting the keyframes at correct location in your comp.

Did you really export Transform data from mocha or was it Corner Pin data?

kevin – every tutorial i have seen from Mocha shows the Anchor Point keyframes being deleted. Its worked for me in the past, and if you don’t delete them, the effect does nto work.

Roland – yes, definitely the Transform date (i also tried the corner pin just in case but not what i needed!)

I have solved the issue by going back to FCP and exporting the shot rather than sending it to AE via an XML.

Re tracked the exported shot and it worked with very little finessing.

c’est la vie!

I’m glad you’ve solved your issue. I’d like to add that when exporting Transform Data to AE, other than deleting Anchor Point keyframes, you should also reset the value of the Anchor Point – if you’ve used a Null, the value should be [0,0]. You could of course right-click on the value and selected Reset from the Contextual Menu.

Most tutorials skip this reset. The benefit of the reset is that the Null now visually moves directly over the tracked area. There is no benefit to the tracking result but the Null’s position is now positioned more intuitively as it conforms 1-1 to the tracked area.
