Hey Walter, thanks for your reply. In this case I really need control over the start and end of the loop to exist entirely in the expression. The best I can do at the moment is use a modulo operator on time remapping (time % 30 would loop to the beginning every 30 seconds) but even this doesn’t give me control of the start frame of the loop. Maybe a while statement could do it? Thanks in advance. I’m just beginning to learn java so it’s hard for me to play around with it without getting syntax errors.

I’m having the same issue, two months later. I just updated to the newest version of premiere and after effects and ran into the same issue. When I click Track in Mocha, Mocha opens but does not load the clip. I am also digesting .MTS files from a c100 mk ii. I’ve reinstalled premiere and after effects to no avail. Any thoughts?

Anyone know of affordable 3d scanning software? I’m a cinematographer, no knowledge of CGI, but I’m interested in learning.

Haha. Point made. I recognized it was all CGI but was interested in a few insights into the workflow.

Maybe I should focus on raising money instead!

November 21, 2011 at 4:42 pm in reply to: Tracking an image to a piece of paper

Thanks for your input, guys. I did find some articles on Mocha, and tried it out. (I haven’t used After Effects since CS3, so I didn’t even know about Mocha). However, because we prepared the shot to be processed with After Effects’ point tracking system by placing dots on the paper, and did not provide distinct definition on the corners of the paper, Mocha had trouble tracking the points. (The paper is on top of a white folder, so the indistinct white-on-white is virtually impossible for a computer to track. Thus, I tried doing it by hand, either using the autokey function or by adding keyframes on each frame of footage, and adjusting the plane by hand. So I do spend about an hour doing this, then go to play it back, only to find the keyframes no longer represented what I set up at all! I found that every time I adjusted a point, that adjustment would affect every frame before it.

What kind keyframing is this?? Is there something I’m missing? Is there a way to manually set the surface of the plane on each frame in Mocha?
