How to Motion Track in After Effects Part 2: Mocha
98Hey guys, it's Garrett from Tutorialso! It's great to be back to making videos! Today we will be going over Mocha! Mocha is a electronic tracker, which means it mostly does all of the work. You can find Mocha in Program Files, then navigate to the After Effects folder.
In Mocha, you select a tracker that requires you to draw a shape, this shape must match the perspective of your area, or the track will not work. Once you have drawn your shape, hit the track forward button and get cozy for a few minutes. Once the track has completed rendering, copy to clipboard and open up After Effects.
In After Effects, you are going to want to get the raw video that you just tracked, not the copy to clipboard file, your RAW file. Once you have that into a new composition, go to layer and bring in a null layer. Then click on your null layer and hit Ctrl V or Command V if you are on a Mac. Now your null contains the motion that you have tracked! Just drop any element and parent it to the null and it will stick to your screen correctly.
Thanks for watching! Part 3 coming soon!
