It was a crazy push to be the first to make something and I rode the wave all year. Last year was the year of VR, when all my clients wanted to do something with VR. However, if you are working with VR footage, you won’t have to bend over backwards to keep using Mocha. How does Mocha VR compare to Mocha Pro? If you’re not doing VR, stick with Mocha Pro. In my experience, all the features of Mocha run more smoothly in the standalone than when they’re launched and run inside of After Effects.** Maybe I’m old school, or maybe I just try to get the maximum performance from my workstation, but I always choose to run Mocha VR by itself and only open After Effects when I’m ready to export. Limited-feature versions of Mocha (Mocha AE and Mocha HitFilm) come installed with the Creative Cloud versions of After Effects and HitFilm 4 Pro, and every update of these plugins is getting closer to looking like a full version of Mocha running inside of the effects panel. There are plugins for Maxon Cinema 4D, The Foundry’s Nuke, HitFilm, and After Effects that allow you to do more with the Mocha data within your chosen 3D or compositing program. Mocha Pro, and Mocha VR are all standalone programs where you work entirely within the Mocha environment and then export your tracks, shapes or renders to another program to do the rest of the compositing work. If you’re using Mettle Skybox, you need to check out Mocha VR, the VR-enhanced edition of Mocha Pro. This will pin the text layer to the corners of the motion tracking shape.If you’re using Adobe After Effects to do compositing and you’re not using Mocha, then you’re holding yourself back.
In this example, use the Corner Pin option. You have a choice of applying the data as a Corner Pin or as Transform data. These dictate how the tracking data is applied and where it is applied to. Back in the plugin, you’ll see two fields for Export Option and Layer Export To. All that’s left is to apply this tracking data to another object.Ĭreate a text layer in your composition.
With the tracking data generated, you should now see that the tracking keyframes turn blue in the tracking data list. A popup box will appear, so make sure the gear icon is toggled for your clip layer and click OK.
This time, in the Mocha AE Plugin in Effect Controls you are going to look at the Tracking Data dropdown box.Ĭlick the Create Track Data box to translate your motion tracking into data that can be applied to other objects. Once again, use the X-Spline pen tool to draw around the building and track the motion, closing the Mocha AE plugin when you are content with the track.
