So cool mate long time no see
Would love to see some uses for the create nulls feature that power rmesh has m8.
THIS is the tutorial I needed!!! You helped me fix my project, I kept having so many tracking issues! I am so grateful and thankful for this video! You explain things so well!
You’re very welcome and great to hear you found the tutorial helpful :) It can take a little to get the hang of Mocha, but once you do you got a lot of power on your hands!
Terrific, thorough tutorial on Mocha. I love that you showed things going wrong and not acting like you had a perfectly clean, unobscured screen to track.
Thank you for the feedback! I always try to cover all the things I remember that used to throw me off (and often still do) to hopefully make it a little more realistic - and maybe even useful :D
@@SurfacedStudio it certainly was useful. Glad to see your channel has grown so much. You've been committing to helpful videos for years and I hope it continues.
No plan of stopping :) I'm just slow at making them haha!
Finally a tutorial for Mocha AE that talks about using MANUAL tracking. I have rarely been able to get a solid Mocha track on an object EVEN when I place a mask over the foreground obstruction. It always goes haywire! I think I'll try the Manual Tracking you talked about on this tutorial next time. Usually I get so disappointed I just rotoscope the clip manually in After Effects. Which works great if the screen replacement video is not moving around- almost impossible if it is. So this is a huge find for me going forward! Thanks so much for your awesome tutorials!
Another great,easy to follow tutorial Tobias.
Thanks for taking the time to do these helpfull videos.
Thank you very much for your comment MuckyMan! Glad you're finding these tutorials helpful :D
One of the best (if not the best) Mocha tutorial on YT - thanks mate! 👏
Glad you liked it! Thank you for the comment :)
VERY helpful, Tobias! Thank you.
You're very welcome :) I never knew about Manual Track when I first tracked this shot and it's made my life SO much easier! In my old tutorial that uses this clip I don't even try to explain how I did the 'tracking' as most of it was just hacked in at the time haha!
@@SurfacedStudio LOL! I understand. Sometimes we make it work....then not remembering how!
Great tutorial. I found this tracking easier than the mama cooking 3000 which gave me a big headache!
Full frontal disclosure, love it!!! Love ur channel
:) Thank you!
Great video . Good presentation . Subscribed.
Thank you so much! Glad to hear you liked the tutorial :D
Great job!
Thank you! Had a lot of fun finally showing how I managed to track this shot :D
love love , thank u so much
Most welcome 😊
Thanks sir ...
This is the absolute best tutorial I've ever seen on this, many of the ones from the company are so long and convoluted that you end up giving up. It's important to show when things do not go right and how to mitigate them what you did. Excellent job. One question I do have is about tracking imaginary corners that are not on screen, for example, a television that has the top two edges off screen, do you put those points in the canvas or do you put them where you think the TV should end? Either way is producing terrible results for me with tracking.
Great, thanks!
You're welcome :)
Very useful video for After Effects users!
Thanks Ross! I certainly felt like my skills went up a whole level when I learned how to use Manual Track properly so I really enjoyed finally making a tutorial for it :D
great video sir, this was so much better than boris fx's own tutorials! thank you so much
Thank you for the awesome comment! Glad you enjoyed the tutorial!
I remember the Ringu video from 2 years ago I think, that's where I learned how to do this stuff! It was fun making a ghost appear in my rear view mirror lol :)
Hehe, yeah it was a little while ago, glad to finally cover how to do the actual tracking for this shot :D
You save my life!
I’m happy to hear it helped!
thank you so much :')
No problem!
thanks
Welcome
How are you doing this differently from the advanced rotoscoping video you made 6 years ago? It seems like you were tracking more things in the previous video. Why was that? And are there any update in the process to make things more efficient/better?
Hi, I'm running into an issue where after creating manual Mocha tracking in "classic", I tried to click "create track data" but the points don't move at all when I scrub through the timeline. Do you happen to know why that is? Would really appreciate your help!
What about tracking a ball that rotates? I am trying to get a logo on a ball and I want it to go around the ball as the ball rolls.
save my life bro!!!
:D
How can i get powermesh option in mocha ae
You can’t unfortunately. PowerMesh is a feature of Mocha Pro :)
I did some manual tracking today. Moved the Spline then hit the "create keyframe" icon. The problem I ran into was that Mocha would not translate the keyframes I made manually to the "Tracking" portion of it's timeline... in other words, it created keyframes for the spline but not for the tracker.... What am I missing.... my technique has worked in the past. Help Appreciated!
Does everything look correct within Mocha AE with the movement of your splines? The splines are attached to the track, so any keyframing of them will be on top of the movement you may have captured during tracking
Why do we need re-comp again "The Well Comp" to add Curve and Glow FX?
You don't "need" to, but it keeps things cleaner and well encapsulated. Also, some effects work differently depending on the size of the layer as well as any masks applied so pre-comping matters
You told you will make projection mapping tutorial without any plugins andv using this to paint out someone.... Please create this tutorial
Hi sir! I have a problem.
In my AE CC 2017 Element 3D is not working. When I opened it, it's showing Update OpenCL and when I enters the scene setup, it's only black nothing is showing. Do u have any solution for this. If yes, pls make a video on that. Anyone had this problem pls reply!
Hi, do make sure you have the matching version of Element 3D installed from the Video Copilot website and try clearing your cache and updating your graphics card drivers. If that doesn’t fix it you may have to contact the Video Copilot team directly to help you out :)
@@SurfacedStudio I will check it out sir. Thankyou for the reply!
Please, could you help me! I'm on the edge of losing my mind, cause every time I create AE masks to my comp, they appear correctly but they aren't resizing along the tracking movement. My TV insert is tracking correctly though. What could possibly be wrong?
Hi, I'm not sure I completely understand. Does everything work correctly in Mocha, e.g. are all the shapes correctly animating within Mocha? Once you generated your AE masks, can you see the keyframes?
@@SurfacedStudio I also have a similar problem - masks appear and work correctly in mocha as well as the screen insert in ae, but as soon as I copy the mocha effect into the pre-comped screen insert to create the masks, all the masks and the track on the precomp get shifted and rotated into wrong positions. I'm also about to lose my mind.
@@SurfacedStudio ok it was so stupid, when I pasted the mocha effect into the precomped insert i was always at a timeframe around the middle... so everything that was pasted was time-shifted... geez. I was losing over this for the last 3 hours, and it only took to shift all the pasted keyframes to the start of the sequence.
When I copy and paste mocha, my tracking mask freeze and doesn't move. Can you help me?
How do you 'copy and paste mocha' ?
@@SurfacedStudio ctrl c + ctrl v
From where to where? What do you have selected? Where are you (in Mocha or in AE)? What are you expecting to happen?
@@SurfacedStudio I made mask on layer with environment in Mocha. Then in AE I copy Mocha plugin from environment layer to screen layer. There is mask that i made but no keyframes. I want to make the same thing like in video
I have tried learning mocha so many times but I just can not get it to work for me. I know it is me. I need to start with a total beginner tutorial
Have you watched part 1 yet? Did that work for you?
@@SurfacedStudio I did but I will do the tutorial again. I must have missed something
Good luck! Let me know if you get stuck on part 1 anywhere :)
I have seen this tutorial on your channel years ago...
Not the same tutorial, just used that particular clip before
