This is a very useful techniqe - as pixels come into the search area, they are offsetting the track. It covers a very useful concept: understanding that the search area (shape) and surface (track data) have a linked relationship, but the search area is very flexible with keyframes etc. You can apply this same technique to a 3D solve as mocha's 3D camera solver is based on 2D tracked planes.

The key to doing long pa= ns or dolly shots is to "unlink" the shape search area from the t= racking data to create an offset. This is a very useful techniqe - as pixel= s come into the search area, they are offsetting the track. It covers a ver= y useful concept: understanding that the search area (shape) and surface (t= rack data) have a linked relationship, but the search area is very flexible= with keyframes etc.

You can apply this same technique to a 3D solve as mocha's 3D= camera solver is based on 2D tracked planes.

Hope this helps= !

Could you recommend a tra= ining video that deals with getting good tracks and (perhaps) camera solves= for very long dolly shots =96 where the total background might be -10 camera views wide over the course of the shot. =

Hi folks,=A0

Just wanted to share the screen recording of this we= ek's mocha webinar. If you have never understood mocha AE or how planar= tracking can be used to solve very difficult screen inserts, than this is = the video watch. =A0

=A0

This 1 hr video covers advanced techniques as well a= s methods for finishing in After Effects. If anyone has requests for future= mocha AE training topics, please let me know.

Video is found here:=A0

Note: (If you did attend the webinar, this video = fixes the streaming issues and is high quality.)

Cheers,

Ross
