Thank you for copying thread to the Media Encoder section, Dave.
Not sure where my head was at last night!

Thanks John and Roland for your help.

Sorry I didn’t realize you had responded until after I updated my second post.

Precomping the solid layer and animating the precomp worked fast in my situation (Simple linear pans), however for more control I will keep in mind your suggestions.

Thanks
Greg

Just realised what the problem is.
The solid layer is much bigger than the comp and video footage layer.

If the solid is the same size then everything lines up perfectly.

Trouble is I need the solid layer bigger in order for it to track the features on the video without running off the end of the solid layer.

Not sure what the best solution is here.

Edit: Simple solution! Precomp the solid layer and then pan/scale/rotate the precomp as needed.

Thanks Perry for your help!
Just found out how to get Matchmover data into AE so I can bypass mocha entirely!
The VC tutorial was quite interesting too. I will certainly keep that method in mind for the future!

Note on Matchmover (MM) to AE in case anyone needs to know:
* MM track, export as .ma file from MM (I prefer to choose animate camera instead of scene)
* Import .ma into AE. This creates two comps. The one with square in the name contains the camera with tracking info.
* Every track point in MM you want brought into AE needs to have the text:
null
at the start of the name, (use the parameters window to change name). I have no idea if it’s possible to change many track names at once (suggestions welcome!) but thankfully I really only need one track point in AE to line things up fast.

Hope that helps!
