I've been learning mocha and getting a handle on planar tracking but you know what none of (or at least that I can't find) of your tutorials cover? Is when the tracking goes bad. how to recover and how to fix it. I'll be waiting for 40min for a track and then notice half way it jumps or just says can't track for no reason. If I manually track the next frame it will continue. or when the track ever so slightly drifts. like how to recover from that moving forward without it or your edits making it jump?

[@BorisFXco]

Good to see you in the comments. It's a good question. There are a few common reasons why this happens, but the solution is usually the same. Go back to just before the last good frame of tracking and add a keyframe. Go to the last good frame. Now it's your chance to adjust things. That could mean changing the shape or area you are tracking to something that remains co-planar with what you were originally tracking. Or it could mean looking at your Parameters in Classic mode and adjusting Angle or Min % of Pixels Used. When Mocha says it can't track it's usually not for no reason. It's often just a case of figuring out what the reason is. Is there a shadow or motion blur, or does the shape change or jump in an unusual way? If you find that, you can fix the track. Rewatch Exercise 3 and Exercise 7 of Mocha Essentials and it talks quite a bit about what's happening here. borisfx.com/free-training/mocha-essentials/

Why is rendering not done in the Mocha but in after effects?

[@BorisFXco]

If you're using the Mocha Pro plugin it's more common to render in After Effects because you can add more effects to it. But there is nothing to stop you from rendering directly out of any version of Mocha Pro with the Export Clip functionality.

Thank you 👍

Extremely useful! The only question is where to put a grain just on product?:)

[@borisfxlearn]

You can put the grain before on that layer OR set the Mocha Pro effect to output just 1 tracked layer with alpha and com[posite back in AE.

[@RuariBarratt]

@@borisfxlearn Is there a video on YT or Boris FX website that goes into more detail on addomg grain?

Awesome! Subbed!

[@AlexanderEO5]

Can you still do this with Mocha AE and not Mocha Pro?

[@borisfxlearn]

Absolutely, the manual track technique is also found in Mocha AE. The only difference here is you do convert your Mocha tracking data to an AE corner pin, instead of using the Mocha engine to render.

Hi I'm trying to use mocha 2019 with element 3d an i can't get it to work properly

[@BorisFXco]

What are you trying to do exactly? Are you using the Mocha Pro 3D Camera Solver or just regular transform data?

[@Gamerz.280]

Thank you! 😃

Good topic. Bad tutorial. The complex part she goes too fast, but basic things like alignment in photoshop is explained in more details. This tutorial doesn't work for me. I'll look for someone else.

KZbin hs a "play at half speed" function. you an even frame by frame with the comma and period keys
