The key to doing long pans or dolly shots is to "unlink" the shape search area from the tracking data to create an offset. 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.

Hope this helps!

Thnx Ross, I find these very helpful.

 

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

 

(sorry if this too OT)

Hi folks, 

Just wanted to share the screen recording of this week'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.  

 

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

 

Video is found here: 

 

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

 

Cheers,

Ross
