  • Stabilize Mocha Tracked Data in After Effects?

    Posted by Ashraf Khan on October 26, 2015 at 3:02 pm

    Hi, i just Tracked a Clip from Mocha AE and then pasted it to Null Object, the Movie footage is not looks shaky but the Null Object shakes.

    Please check this Sample Test Video :

    Test Mocha Tracking Video

    I have used “Corner Pin with Motion blur” Data for this.

    Actually if you see the video , the text connected to Null object is not stable.

    How can i stabilize the Text ?

    This may not be the problem, but be certain you got the frame rate in the Mocha track set exactly the same as the AE footage. I’ve had 24 vs. 23.976 mess me up in the past.

    I have checked all the “Comp Settings” both are same in Mocha and AE , yet am facing this problem,

    Even in Mocha the tracker Points shakes.
    Thank You so much for your help.

    Strange that the wiggling happens after the cup stops moving. Is the pouring coffee within your tracking region?

    But more simply… Can you not simply delete the keyframes after the cup stops?

    Tracking region is Only the White cup.
    i tried deleting Keyframes after the Cup stops, yes the Text stops wiggling,
    but while the Cup moving,the text move from one place to another.
    I would like to fix the text in the Cup.
    Thank You.

    If your search area is only over the white on cup, it is unlikely you will get a quality track.

    You probably need to adjust the area that you are tracking to include some of the edges of the cup, but avoid the liquid and other objects.

    In general tracking pure white is very difficult for any tracker. mocha’s planar tracker is looking for texture. Pure white has no values to track.

    It might be worth learning more about planar tracking with this video series:
