It should work on Vegas Pro 13 and 14. I do not think we will qualify versions older than that, but feel free to join the testers group.

In general if Mocha AE does not support your media file, best advice is to use sequential frame exports such as tif or jpeg).
See tech note:

I believe the issue is that you used Bezier and not X-Spline in Mocha AE? This may be a bug inside of Mocha AE and its ability to convert to AE bezier on particular types of shapes. It may be fixed in a newer version but in the meantime, I suggest trying Mocha’s X-Spline which in general can be easy to manipulate than bezier one you are used to them.
Hope this helps.

Currently in Mocha Pro, you will have to align the solved nulls back outside of Mocha.
You may want to look at this tutorial and aescript for orienting the AE camera world:

Did you try to create a new shape? The tracking will be greyed out until you create a shape that defines the planar trackign search area.

Check out new mocha Pro 5 plug-in for Adobe. Has a built in mesh warp for these type of tasks.

mocha Pro does not really replace a 3D camera tracker for this kind of project. mocha’s 3D solver is based on 2D planar tracking. For a set extension or a rigid area it i can also give a very good 3D camera solve, but for moving object solve (such as a persons face), it is a lot trickier.
Essentially you first need to get a Camera Solve on the rigid areas, (parts of the set that are planes), before exporting the 3D solve for moving objects.
If you are new to mocha Pro, this may be tricky, but this tutorial might help:

Actually mocha’s camera solve “can” give you animated 3D data (nulls) for a moving object, but it is probably not what you want. 😉
Here is an example of using the mocha camera solve to “solve” the camera. then using a tracked plan to get 3D nulls on a moving object:

It is possible this is a user error depending on the camera solve. I would recommend contacting Imagineer support here:
