Using Mocha AE or Mocha Pro?

I love problem and solution tutorials like this! this is my most common problem and i ended up doing way more steps to fix it. Thanks for this!

[@BorisFXco]

Great to hear! We'll definitely be doing more of this type of tutorial in the future.

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Great tutorial. I've had situations like this in real world feature film projects. Now, I'm better prepared. Thank you.

[@BorisFXco]

Excellent. Really glad you found it helpful.

[@fxeditor1138]

Thanks for this tutorial Mary. For some reason the Adjust Track tool has always seemed confusing to me up to now!

[@habohuang2131]

Adjust Track一开始感觉无从下手，但我很快明白了：先设置一帧参考点（工具栏左下角），当移动到其他帧时，选择要调整的点微调即可（工具栏下方带箭头）。

I didn't know that this type of shots could be tracked with Adjust Track, I was left with this module only used to correct small slides. Excellent tutorial!

[@BorisFXco]

Thanks John!

[@yinon_tal]

Thank you!!!

[@BorisFXco]

You're very welcome!

Should the footages come with or without sound in mocha ?

[@BorisFXco]

Mocha doesn't use the sound and it is ignored. Video only :D

Great tutorial! It's nearly perfect, but the logo shouldn't be visible in the first frames because of reflection:)

[@fxeditor1138]

This wasn't a comping tutorial, it was a tracking tutorial. And for that it was very good.

[@BorisFXco]

Thanks for the great feedback.

[@BorisFXco]

Thanks, Michael. That's exactly right.

I hear 3d printed sound on background

I would like boris fx to be improved quickly so that such inefficient work does not occur.

[@BorisFXco]

??? Some shots are just tricky to track because there is no information there. Never underestimate how good a human brain is at intuiting and filling in missing information. Computers don't have that luxury yet. What you think is simple is actually driven by some very complex calculations. If you're ever in doubt about your brain's power to fill in data, think about why you never notice your own nose, or do the optic nerve blind spot test. Have a good one.

@@BorisFXco I am using Mocha Pro. Of course I will also pay for the next annual plan. However, Mocha still occasionally encounters unknown errors in Mocap Pro and After Effects. (Suddenly ending After Effects due to an error) I want more precise tracking. And I wish the Mocha Pro could even utilize data from the iPhone's lidar sensor.

[@CreepyFilmz]

Way too much to do. Not as easy. Tracking in AE is still not there yet without spending hours on it.

[@BorisFXco]

This is meant to be a slightly tricky shot. Most shots are tracked in Mocha without issue. You've just got to set your shape and params up properly to start with. If you're having problems, I recommend the free Mocha Essentials course. It's a great way to understand how Mocha thinks and how to get great tracks the first time you try : borisfx.com/free-training/mocha-essentials/
