    @drpenmaster No. You need to take the tracking data into another program and composite the pictures there.

  • drpenmaster says:

    @o0curiousturtle0o i dont get it, can i render my project from mocha with a picture in it??????

  • mbovb006 says:

    Terrific tutorials. They helped me out quite a bit.

    Thanks.

  • o0curiousturtle0o says:

    Basically. Yes.

    You can roto and open your project in a later version of MochaAE or the “big boy” Mocha. But there’s no direct way to get your roto data out of MochaAE V1.2.

  • CATB0XFILMS says:

    But does this mean that there is no way to rotoscope in mocha V1.2.2?

  • CATB0XFILMS says:

    Yes it does, thanks.

  • o0curiousturtle0o says:

    If you’re using the MochaAE version you won’t have a render panel. That’s only on the full version of Mocha.

    To get shape data into After Effects you need at least MochaAE V2 and the mochaShape plug-in.

    Does that help?

    All the best.

  • CATB0XFILMS says:

    on mine there is no render panel!!!! help!!

  • drpenmaster says:

    Hahahaha thats the best! nice tutorial..

  • o0curiousturtle0o says:

    Actually, no you don’t. If you’ve ever used the software then you would know that copying and pasting directly from Mocha is all you need to do.

    Thanks for your comment though. I hope your skills improve.

    I also hope your keyboard gets fixed soon. It appears your caps lock key is broken.

    WORST TUTORIAL EVER SEEN DOESNT EXPLAIN BETTER ………………………WE HAVE TO ADD CORNER PIN its in DISORT EFFECT then we can PAST DATA FROM MOCHA

  • o0curiousturtle0o says:

    Are you talking about the bit at about 4:45? The Transform data was pasted onto the original layer and only the Anchor Point keyframes were kept. If you then reset the other transform properties, then it stabilises the footage up in the centre of the frame.

    Pretty sweet,

  • taz014l says:

    Where did you paste the Transform data? and what did you exactly do to center the package on both layers?? I did not get those parts in this tutorial

  • o0curiousturtle0o says:

    You got me! :o ) It’s not 100% there. So without doing a quick Adjust Track it wouldn’t be ready for broadcast, but it’s good enough for a tutorial.

    Stabilize uses the tracking data to focus the image around the chosen area. Great for rotoscoping.

    If you want to find out more then check out our other clips on YouTube or visit Curious Turtle and look at Rock Steady : Successful Motion Tracking in Mocha & After Effects.

  • eladbari says:

    actually, i gotta say that @ 00:57 when u hit “stabilize” [which im not sure what it really does]- it doesnt seem like the MOCHA label gets skewed upwards, and that its not tracked quite right. am i wrong, o0curiousturtle0o ?

  • BubbaJ1M says:

    K I’ll try that, and thanks for fast response.

  • o0curiousturtle0o says:

    Don’t import the file, just Select All, copy and paste from it. The keyframes will go in automatically.

    Rock Steady is now available at the Curious Turtle site with loads of cool tutorials and techniques for Mocha and After Effects.

  • BubbaJ1M says:

    When I go to open my .txt files in After Effects, it says its an unsupported file.

  • spiffywilco says:

    Fantastic. Mocha is pretty much the holy grail of planar tracking, and you made it very clear how one can accomplish a nice track, using footage that traditionally would be very difficult to track and rotoscope. Nice work.

  • o0curiousturtle0o says:

    Glad you liked the tutorial. There’s a full video training course coming mid-April 2009. Check out the Curious Turtle website or send an email for more detalis.
