Yes – that is it. If you already know mocha, you should quickly get a handle around the 3D Camera Solve.
You basically track a couple of co-planar areas, select them all and then solve for 3D.
What it does not expose is a lot of detail for individual point tracks.
The last thing to possibly add is that mocha is also very useful to “assist” other camera trackers by either exporting out roto hold out masks or even sometimes using mocha planar data to composite patterns on top of difficult footage.
Hope this is useful,

Hey there,
Sorry for the late reply.mocha v3 does a 3D camera solve based on planar tracking, while the Foundry’s camera tracker is a 3D feature tracker.
One difference is that mocha v3 will solve a virtual camera and “select” 3D planes. mocha v3 exports 3D nulls instead of a point cloud. Because mocha is using the planar tracker to solve, one of the benefits will be the ability to track and solve footage with motion blur, footage that goes offscreen, etc. Common difficult tracks such as reflections or obscured tracking areas, the planar tracker can solve.
On the other hand, mocha’s 3D solver does not give you the entire camera space, only select planes. This could be very useful for many match moves, set extensions etc.
It is probably best to download mocha v3 which is now shipping and activate the 15 day trial to do some tests and compare for yourselves. Both products so similar but different things depending on what kind of work you do.
mocha AE v3 is also very useful for roto and 2D tracking. Upgrade from the AE bundle version is $195.

If you haven’t solved this yet, I’d be happy to take a look at the file if you can upload it.
mocha Pro might also be a good option.

Hey there,
mocha should be your friend for this kind of work. If there is significant cover up type of work, you might even want to look into mocha Pro which has a remove module and an insert module.Here is a link to a video:
https://www.imagineersystems.com/videos/mocha-pro-tutorial-how-to-remove-objects-and-logos/viewThe best advice that I have if you are really in a bind is contact Imagineer mocha support team and upload an example of the problem you are trying to solve.

Yes – this is the issue. mocha and AE project frame rate and image dimensions “always” have to match to insure the data lines up properly.

You may need to delete the anchor point keyframes.

You may want to check out mocha Pro which does have an “auto-fill” feature when you render stabilized footage, but will not work on all footage.

Some quick mocha tips.
You can create a track layer for the monitor and then add a new track layer above that layer for each actor in the foreground. Set up your layers in mocha like this: furthest from camera goes in bottom, closest at top. Then re-track. This should allow the monitor layer to track through.
It looks like the wood beam “may” almost be on the same relative plane as the monitor. Adding s 2nd contour to that monitor layer, a small shape for the upper left beam corner, might assist if the actors obscure the monitor too much.
Lastly, you may want to check out mocha Pro which would allow a clean frame to be imported and automate the task of removing the markers. This tut might help: https://www.imagineersystems.com/videos/mocha-pro-digital-makeup-and-beauty/view
