Boom. Thank you so much. I’ve got it now!

Awesome sounds like I can handle that!

Last question: How do I move the detection box in the AE tracker? I paused my track and tried to move it but then AE moved the whole track. I did some googling about that technique but couldn’t find anything. What am I missing?

Thanks!

Thanks! Looks like I have a lot to learn on the VFX side of things (I started in AE just doing basic motion graphics).

I have one more shot that I thought I could handle but it ended up giving me a hard time.

I tried to track the surface in Mocha and I tracked her and put that layer on top but it still had an issues sticking to the plane of the screen. What is the best way to get a clean track with the camera moving left to right and the woman stepping in front of the screen?

Thanks again for all the help.

Wow, thanks for that lengthy reply!

I really appreciate that info, helps me understand how to go about processing a shot like this. This seems like too much for me to handle for the time being, so I will most likely have to pass the shot on to someone else.

A couple follow up questions if you don’t mind:

1) What kind of tracker are you speaking of using? 3D or the regular tracker in AE (maybe both? I ask because you only spoke about the x and y when tracking with the slit mask)

2) Briefly how would you handle the lift itself starting off screen and moving on?

3) I was not involved at all in the shooting of this scene and did not advise them to use those green marks. Are those even useful? Could this scene have been marked up differently to make it much easier?

Thanks again, I am just trying to wrap my head around all the possible ways to track different footage.

Guys,

I have explored Mocha for AE and I have a pretty nice track but my planar surface gets mess up for about the last 10 frames. I don’t fully understand how to adjust my track so that the planar surface sticks better to my corners. Screenshot attached so you can see. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Thanks for the advice! I will have to look into Mocha a bit more.
