Top 6 Mocha Problems in Adobe After Effects [Track Data Mistakes]

Here are the top 6 mistakes people make in using their Mocha tracking data in After Effects. Your track looks perfect inside Mocha AE but you can't seem to get it right back in After Effects. Run through this checklist with Ben Brownlee to get the results you need:

1) Have I created my tracking data in the plug-in?
2) Have I applied it to the right layer?
3) Is it the right type of tracking data?
4) Is my Surface set correctly in the Mocha interface?
5) Are my tracked footage and insert clips the same resolution?
6) Am I sure my tracked footage and insert clips are the same resolution?

It took me a while to realize my insert clip had to be the same resolution as my tracked clip. This video is definitely a must have and is greatly appreciated. I would love to see some in-depth tutorials on using the mesh warp for things like adding tattoos, scars, ect.

This video is an absolute lifesaver! So simple, to the point and covers some of the mistakes I have been making and scratching my head about! really appreciate this!!!👏

Very helpful. Clicking the icon next to the layer was the biggest hurdle for me.

actually solved every single problem with my track, house and my wife returned to me after watching this vid! Thanks!

You're a life saver! It seems somewhat counter intuitive to make my tracked clip to match the host clips resolution, but by gum if it didn't work. I can stop banging my head against the wall and move on now.

Hi Ben,
In the phone example (tracking drift, at 3:56), an easier solution (I think):
You just need (in After Effects) to copy the anchor point coordinates of the main video and paste them into the (anchor point of the) layer of the picture to be applied. Then magic...

my buddie turned me on to Mocha, Having an issue where the insert clip isn't connecting to the tracked footage. I've tried the pre comp but to no avail. I'm determined! Thanks for making such a detailed video, with breakdowns, and explanations.

Mistake #6 was torturing me during the whole afternoon. I forgot to match the resolutions. I knew about this solution but I haven't tracked any footage for ages... :D Thanks for sharing this tip. :)
