Do you have to track the exact area where you want your elements to be placed?

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Depending on the depth of the shot, yes.

why is my null object not following my mocha track exactly

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Hello! Could it be the keyframes on the Null is offset a few frames? -Danasa

[@jamesprice113]

@@ActionVFXofficial thanks for replying ! It wasn’t that, even when I click on the null you only see a few track points & the null drifts with the scene.. I’m not sure why because the mocha track itself with those 5 points are perfect

[@ActionVFXofficial]

@@jamesprice113 Interesting! Something must have happened during importing of the track data, now we need to figure out what and where. Let's try troubleshoot this! By drifting do you mean the Null moves towards certain direction, or does it moves similarly to the intended track, just less accurate? How many track layers/shapes you created in Mocha? If you have a Ground track and Occlusion track layers like the tutorial, try deleting the Occlusion layer, and then re-import the tracking data (@ 3:55). Let us know if this works! -Danasa

[@jamesprice113]

@@ActionVFXofficial I figured it out ! I think the issue was I messed up while importing the footage because it was an image sequence & it didn't look right so I slowed it down & that must of messed up the timing with everything. I re did it properly & its all good now. thank you so much for your help & actually replying back ! you guys are the best

backplate file recieve me in form of images Called (Targa) So How Can i Use As Video

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Hello! You can import Targa files in After Effects. You want to import them as image sequence -Danasa

[@lpmedia5859]

The background plate download is a .RAR file....

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Hello! We have re-uploaded the file as ZIP. Let us know if you run into any issue!

[@baboushka2660]

I think there is a problem with the shadows, the explosion is much more darker as the soldiers, and the color of ground is not the same as the color of the explosion, can do better

[@rotofxstudios]

You always use after effects for your tutorials.. why not use blender?

[@firework7516]

Blender is not very useful in video editing - it has poor interface on the video editing workspace, and is not very compatible with editing videos in general. I have first hand experience. Blender is mainly designed for 3D modeling and animation and not video editing.

[@KasiVids]

Download 5 elements per month lol

That's the Starter Plan! All other plans deliver higher amounts of downloads. :)
