I believe you will actually get better and quicker results if you approach this with a 2D solve.

You would need to track the ground or some other element in the foreground that is completely static.
If not possible, your best bet is to track the clouds. As the cloud goes offscreen, stop the track and move the shape search area back on screen to another cloud area (avoiding the actor). This will create and offset track.Ross Shain

If there are enough clouds in the sky, you should be able to use mocha to track. One technique is to “unlink” the layer, so it does not move. As the camera pans and clouds go off-screen, the unlink planar track will create a track offset.
An alternate approach might be to track a static foreground element with mocha AE or Pro v3. Do a camera solve and then push the solved track in z space to approximate here the sky plane is.
Best of luck,

Just a quick note:
To support Avid|DS or Autodesk Smoke, you will need mocha Pro.
To get any mocha track data into Media Composer, you need Boris FX (included) to work as a gasket to get the data in.
You can find more info on mocha product comparisons here:
https://www.imagineersystems.com/compare-productsOne nice plus about the mocha Pro to Smoke workflow is the Gmask support for mocha roto-shape import without rendering. To get roto from mocha products into all Avid systems, you have to render external mattes.
Best,

You can achieve this look with mocha AE v3.
The difference is mocha AE v3 adds true camera solve, so it will be easier to adjust in 3D space, whereas mocha AE that is bundled with Adobe uses corner pin.

Strange. Try going to the preferences after launching mocha AE and turn off “use hw rendering. Then relaunch mocha AE.
Otherwise, best to log this with support:

In CS6, you use the “send to mocha” command found under the AE animation menu.

Try deleting all the anchor point keyframes. Do you see anything happen?

This is correct. mocha AE CS6 is not available as a stand alone app anymore. It needs to be launched from within AE CS6 animation menu.
This was a decision made by Adobe After Effects team and allows mocha AE CS6 to be supported for all AE installs: trials, educational and cloud support.Please note that for $199 you can upgrade to mocha AE v3 from Imagineer Systems (or Toolfarm) which adds FCP, Motion, Boris support and new 3D camera solver. mocha AE v3 or mocha Pro v3 are opened as stand alone applications.

You might want to check out mocha Pro, which has a Remove Module that can assist in removing unwanted objects. It analyzes shots and can use the before/after frames to replace the object.
