  Mocha tracked data applying nothing to composition

  Posted by Rowan Cavanagh on November 13, 2018 at 10:15 am

  Hi,

  First time using Mocha properly, so no doubt this is my fault somewhere along the line.

  I’m trying to track a phone screen through Mocha, using what I assume is the norm of x-spline and planar surface tools, with a bit of AdjustTrack stuff along the way. This part seems to work fine, as you can see from my video.

  What doesn’t, is when I head back in to After Effects and try to apply this tracking data to a composition, containing a phone screen image. It doesn’t seem to bring anything through into the effects panel or once I apply a corner pin effect to the target layer.

  Help?

  Have a look at what I’m doing here – https://www.dropbox.com/s/lop72i8pr615r5z/applying%20tracked%20data.mp4?dl=0

  I’m using After Effects CC 2019 and therefore the new Mocha plugin.

  Update:
  Considering I can’t reply to my own post (because I’m new?), I’ll put this here.

  I’ve worked it out. The answer is pretty annoying, but relieving.

  I hadn’t checked this little processing cog next to the layer created in Mocha (which I didn’t know was there), when selecting the track:

  

  Hopefully this helps someone in the same position one day!
