Mocha - Perfect track, Wandering Results
by Chris Heuer (Jonas Grumby) on Apr 10, 2008 at 1:31:09 pm

Hello again! I'm working on adding an exaggerated bulge effect to some glasses. The track in Mocha looks perfect. The transform data pasted into AE follows the basic motion but wanders a lot (see clips in zip file).

The one change I made to the pasted data was, I deleted the Anchor Point keyframes. With those keyframes in place, the object went everywhere. Like a wiggle script on crack!

Any help would be Veeeerrrryyy much appriciated.

Thanks, Chris

Hi Chris,
Sorry I don't have time to look at the footage right this second, but my quick response if there is a difference between your mocha preview track and your AE track data.

1. make sure your project settings (frame rate and size) match exactly.

2. make sure the AE footage clip itself matches frame rate.

3. For a transform and scale match move, you don't need the anchor keyframes. Use the anchor keyframes for stabilization. Hope that some of this helps.

good luck,
Ross

That's pretty much what I figured. I checked the clips properties in both packages and didn't see any differences but I'll check again.

Thanks, Chris

Re-checked everything last night, then pasted the data to a null and it stuck like glue! The mask I placed on the white solid in the video must not have been over the Anchor Point which I believe would have caused the drift.

Thanks for the reply.
