Thank you for the suggestions!

Hi,

Not really.. I’ll explain the whole scenario.
Before this shot we’ve been discussing, there is a profile shot of a girl blowing at a table of letters she’d been colouring. After it cuts to the shot we’ve been discussing of the letters on the table where they are whisked away out the window.

So even though the letters fly away on their own, I wanted their motion to match move to the camera move in the shot and in addition take on their own flight.

I achieved this, I’d say 85% well by parenting my letter comps (each the size of the original footage) to an invisible solid layer (also the size of the footage) and applying corner pin tracking data from Mocha.
There is some shifting that seems non perfect and I’m not sure why, which I don’t see in Mocha, but I can live with it if need be. In Mocha, the track looks perfect.

So the reason I was tracking those other elements in my footage was because the letters fly up and still need to match the rest of the shot since they do not remain on the table.

So that’s the full story… It would also be cool if in Mocha I could export tracking data and apply it to the camera in AE rather that objects.

Thanks again for all your help!

I think I’ve got it!! (for now)

Thanks for all the help!

Thanks again RoRK. I think I didn’t properly explain my goal. I’ll give it an other try and hope for the best!

I only have 1 insert layer. (Effectively, all my letters are insert layers, but I am treating them as one)
What I have many of are x-splines in Mocha, because some go out of the shot as the camera pans up, so each x-spline is only visible during a given number of frames.

So the part I’m unsure about is… For example, when I am on the frames associated with my first x-spline, I can export that tracking data, but it is not exporting the data of the other x-spines that are in later frames… Does that make sense? Perhaps these screenshots can help illustrate.

Hope this is more clear, and thanks again for the help!

Thanks,
Ari

Thank you! Amazing!

I got the first tracker element to work, but now I need to get all my trackers to work.
The tricky thing is that all the parts I’m tracking in my footage need to combine into one set of data to paste on my null…

How do I achieve that? Basically export the tracking data from 5 trackers with different ins/outs?

Thanks,
Ari

Which type of tracking data do you suggest I export and copy to my layers?

Thanks,
Ari

Thanks RoRK. Can’t wait to try it all later tonight!

Thanks,
Ari

The audio track on all clips appears to last the same length as the video, but then waveform disappears halfway though..

I managed to work through it by copying and pasting section by section.. it only needed a few little tweaks that way.. Now I’m all set!

I think it’s working!! Wahoo!
Thanks!
