Try tracking a much larger area so Mocha has more data to work with. Mocha tracks pixel patterns, so you will not have much luck in any ocean area where its blue with no other detail.

Making a hipass version of your animation will bring out more details in your map for tracking. Google “After Effects hipass”.

Can you provide a bit more detail about what you need to accomplish?

try this:

x = transform.position[0];
y = transform.position[1];
a = thisComp.layer("Shape Layer 1").transform.position[0];
b = thisComp.layer("Shape Layer 1").transform.position[1];
firstMin = 40;
firstMax = 60;
secondMin = 90;
secondMax = 110;
//this sets opacity rules for when text pos is [50,50]
if (x==50 && y==50 && a>firstMin && b> firstMin && a<firstMax && b< firstMax ){
50
}else{
//if text pos is not [50,50], set the opacity based on the other shape values
if(a>secondMin && b>secondMin && a<secondMax && b<secondMax ){
50
} else {
100
};
};

Something like this:

	// [1] Create file object for the file you want to run.
	var nested_file = new File("nested_script.jsx");
	// [2] Open the file for reading.
	nested_file.open("r");
	// [3] Read the file and evaluate the results.
	eval(nested_file.read());
	// [4] Close the file. That's it!
	nested_file.close();

For the web-friendly part, you may consider turning into a GIF. Export a 360 degree rotation (minus 1 frame). Then import as video layers into photoshop. Export > Save for Web (Legacy). Choose GIF.

$.evalFile() is not supported in the new Engine – use a different method. You could try the open(‘r’) method.

As Filip said, make maybe the top null and right null the drivers. Put this expression in the “Left” null position:

rightPos = thisComp.layer("Right").transform.position;
centerPos = thisComp.layer("Center").transform.position;
yMirror =rightPos[1];
xMirror = centerPos[0]-(rightPos[0]-centerPos[0]);
[xMirror,yMirror];

And this in the “Down” null position:

topPos = thisComp.layer("Up").transform.position;
centerPos = thisComp.layer("Center").transform.position;
xMirror = topPos[0];
yMirror = centerPos[1]-(topPos[1]-centerPos[1]);
[xMirror,yMirror];

End result:

Are you sure you need scripting? Or can you set up a template file and duplicate it for each lecture?
