I tracked a sequence in Mocha, saved as a text file and to clipboard, and when I copy then go to Ae CS3 I do not get the "paste" as an option. I can't get my tracking data into Ae. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Save it to a text file and copy from there. the copy to clipboard is broken on some version of OS X.

Thanks for responding. I have a PC with XP, and when I go to Save Tracking Data, I save it to a text file and then save again to clipboard. But, when I go to After Effects it will not let me paste into the target layer, fro either text or clipboard saves. When I do Ctrl+V nothing happens and the same when I go to Edit>Paste. I am following all the Imagineer Systems tutorials exactly but I just can't seem to get the tracking data into AE.

are you selecting the layer first? What are you pasting it onto?

I run the track and then save, go to text file, select all and copy.. Switch to Ae, select the layer I want the tracking data to go to and when I go to Paste it is greyed out. I just bought this yesterday after spending a couple of long days with Ae's tracker...failure after failure.

I believe we recently found the issue is actually on the Adobe side of things.
Either way, you need to make sure to save the mocha AE export to file. Select all. Copy. Then select your AE layer and paste.
Alternately you can select the layer and choose apply animation preset from the effects pulldown.
Best,
Ross
