  Mocha Pro Mesh Tracker headaches!

  Posted by Josh Mannis on April 22, 2024 at 9:30 pm

  My friends,I’m in Mocha Pro in After Effects. I’m trying to use the mesh tracker to track in a little patch to cover the edge of a character’s prosthetic nose. I signed an NDA so I can’t post anything here unfortunately, but I’m sure if seeing the nose would actually help that much. Here was my process:
  Masking Tab

  > Draw mask
  > Set Uniform grid

  > Track itStabilize Tab

  > hit mesh warp

  > up top, expand planar surface

  Make the patch in PS

  Import to AE as footage

  > Merge layers

  > Copy Mocha from tracked layer

  > Paste to patch layer

  > Module renders / drop down renders / warp stabilize

  > Mate / apply matte

  I have a hunch that the issue is somewhere between the stabilize tab step and the point when I get back to AE, but I can’t pinpoint it. Also, the tutorial I was following has their reference frame as frame 1 – mine is later because the focus is better – could that be the issue?

  Thanks!!!
