Tracking motion so I can insert text on a video that was shot on a slider

[Christopher R. green]

Before I posted, just for fun I did a track to your video in about 15 minutes using PFHoe Pro. I’ll send you the project if you want. It’s at 1280×720. The tricky part of working with it is knowing how to utilize the 3D space, and what planes to use to put the text in there. Do you have more of these?

Also, since I did this from (originally) an flv, the frame it starts on may be hard to find with your own movie (I had to start several frames in).

Shoot me an email (crgreen [AT] crgreen [DOT] com) and I’ll send you the project, and I can explain some of the particulars.

Regarding the difficulty with getting the tracking data back into After Effects from mocha: It sounds like you’re over-complicating things.

Here’s a video that shows how extremely simple this is:

Yes, you can do even better and more advanced work with scripts like mochaImport, but it’s not necessary.
