Basic Screen Replacements (With Reflections) in After Effects

[@TheMightyDragon]

This is the best walkthrough ever! Thank you!

[@t3chnicolor]

This is the best screen replacement tutorial on youtube. I can say that after watching every single last one. Everyone else used a green screen on their phone except you--reflections really sell this effect, and the track matte part was the key here (no pun intended). THANK YOU for taking the time to put this up!!!

[@JayBaggio]

Thanks for this. At 5:12 u can also just create a solid the size of the comp, apply MOCHA tracking data to that solid, pre-compose it (leaving attributes) and then add any images in that pre-comp, fitting the image to the whole comp

[@MarcoPaints]

Man the way you setup the track really helped a difficult shot. This is far and away the most handy video for tricky phone shots. Thanks!

[@justuscilliers]

Boone for the win . Thanks mate , love your tutorials

[@BorisFXco]

Great job! Thanks for sharing Mocha AE tips and remember... Mocha Pro can do all this and more inside Premiere. ;)

[@SergeyGridin]

best tutorial with reflections EVER!!! THX!

[@Charlie_Alpha_Lima]

The trick with the reflection is very very cool!

[@s2os22enet]

Thanks man! I watched other tutorials. All went south, but with yours, it worked!!!

[@andregant9980]

The reflection setup was the finishing professional touch making it look realistic. GOOD DAMN TOUCH!

I agree with T3chnicolor - this is the best Mocha AE screen replacement tutorial on YT. If I'd found your video first it would've saved me about 90 minutes of confusion and frustration the "other guys" caused. Totally ACE vid - many thanks!

[@PrismaHealth]

This has been extremely helpful!

[@YeagerFilm]

Awesome mane, nice to get a easy Mocha refresher! 💯

[@BooneLovesVideo]

Thanks Yeags!

[@kehindesuleiman5738]

Nice and well explained. Thanks 👍

[@cutsin3d]

fantastic video, you explain everything very well. hard to find videos as good as this.

[@mckenziecreative]

Great tutorial! Thank you.

[@ItsJustMeStevie]

Great video. How would you go about it yourself wanted cover the entire original screen with curved edges?

[@zejlund]

DUde, you saved my life, thank you very much, i really appreciate this video, added to my editing playlist!:D

[@LupiinII]

Nice tutorial, thanks !

[@jorgschiele7314]

Thank you so much! - I just wanted to replace a red pimple in a face, that´s talking and moving. Now I´ve made it! ;-) Most workshops use Mocha Pro, your workshop explains tracking with the normal Version in AE. Regards from Germany!

[@ondrejkaucky3063]

Hey, thanks for tutorial. How would you make rounded corners for your replacement screen?

[@christiannilsson8540]

Great stuff.... watched ALOT of MOCHA AE tuts, but this was clearly the most understandable :) Great work!

[@PhilipRikoZen]

This may help someone else: if you have masks on the main clip or the main clip is repositioned and not in the default position, it will not corner pin right, so if you are opening/modifing from Premiere for example, it may give you problems if you did some tweeking there already.

[@DigitalMagicVFXTutorials]

It was an amazing tutorial. Thanks a lot.

[@BestFreeAudio]

Great tutorial

[@alexnicholsbriant9241]

PremiumBeat has a great content

[@PremiumBeat]

Thank you! More are coming.

[@marcidukes15]

Thanks for this. For some reason the backend of my footage starts to get crooked but the trackin on mocha is all perfect. I did everything you mentioned. Any thoughts?

[@lkentwell249]

Nice work. Could you share the source clips to practice along with the video?

[@oussamaoutbourit6079]

thank you sooo much

[@MHM4V3R1CK]

Isn't the precomp that's stretched unnecessary? Why not corner pin the comp that is there vertical aspect ratio directly in?

[@ellaviolettta]

how do you round off the edged in mocha? i'm screen replacing some CRT TV's and can't have sharp edges

[@blakewakan7489]

Every time I hit apply export the layer I'm filling the screen in with ends up displaced and doesn't follow along with the edges I set up in Mocha. Does anyone know why this is happening?

[@ElieHypnotiseur]

Thanks, but how to add reflections, if the screen is not black ?

[@durgarajghale8518]

how to download this footage sir, can you send the footage

[@BLUESCREAMPRODUCTIONS]

Great... but what if i don't want to use MOCHA ?? please put it in your title !

[@AlexJenkins]

I always have trouble tracking when there's a thumb scrolling in front of the corner pin tracking. Does this method have less issues with that?

[@littlecoloreddots]

All the layers above the layer you have selected for tracking will be excluded from the track. So is you draw a mask around the thumb, it will not throw off the track on the layer below it.

[@balls6906]

Annoying... the phone clearly has rounded edges and the image doesnt

[@beaverhunter3290]

i dont know why there was no instructions given at arguably the most important parts. Right off the bat you start plotting these points.
