  • tracking an animated obj in after effects

    Posted by Rob Dallas on June 7, 2020 at 11:26 am

    I’ve been trawling the net, and can not find an answer to this question…I have an animated obj figure (walking/Dancing), and I want to add a live action talking mouth. After effects and Mocha, seem to only be able to track live action. Is there a way to track a models movement, in order to achieve this effect. Any help would be most appreciated!

    Within AE’s tracker – slioghtly hidden – is the face tracker.

    Draw a mask around your animated character’s head and the face tracker tools become more obvious.

    Hi Graham
    Thanks for the response…I’m using CS6, and I don’t think ‘Face Tracker’ is available on that format.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks Rob

    Ah – hmmm… could you post a still of the footage? It’s likely that Mocha’s planar or tracking two points in AE is going to be the only options.
