Thank you for this tutorial, I had to use footage like this but without the crosshairs, just the green screen. still Mocha did the job just fine!

[EldineBuizer]

I have been struggling for weeks to figure out how to do this for an assignment and by far your tutorial has been the most informative and helpful at helping me do what I wanted so thank you so much!!! Wonderful work!🙌👏

[christopherpeacock]

AMAZING!!! Best tutorial out there for this!!!

[rockytv]

You are so underrated and your videos are so helpful dude

[phreakii]

Your screen reflections on the phone? Just a solid/gradient sliding over in the pre comp, right?

[shawnrobinson]

Thank you! This has been the best video on screen replacements I've seen!

[kellylaurenblackvideo]

Excellent tutorial, except I would add to make sure that you have no edges showing within the shape in mocha. It's okay if what you need to superimpose overlaps with the phone but there cannot be any gaps. Also, was also doing a vertical phone screen and when I rotated it -90 it made it rotated on the final result. It worked when I didn't rotate it. I'm not sure why it worked for you and not me, but something to play with if other people are having the same issue!

How do you fix the track? it is off look at the clock on the screen.

[hi_sonix]

my footage looks streched when I do the apply export

[tiffanygarza]

Amazing video! Having a bit of trouble when a mobile device pans in from off screen into the shot and trying to get the recording to keep on it as it zooms into frame. Any advice on when it comes from off screen or if the phone is rotating so the screen disappears for a second?

[mazil.i]

Thanks for this tutorial!

Can we still track the corners precisely if the screen only has a green screen without the crosses?

[xfdljjq]

amzing tutorial, Can you please show me how to use mocha tracking for real estate and landmarks on the property with lines and text? I would really appreciate that. Thank you so much.

[adamfarkas]

I am doing exactly the same things as you with horribly different results... when I apply the export to the top layer it is not fitted to the screen but covers my entire screen in the main comp and starts warping and moving -- some tracking is being done but the top layer stays full screen.

[PaginaDeRedSocial]

I am following the instructions to the T... I even made sure the overlay is already the exact shape and size as the clip. When I try to link them up, the overlay shrinks and rotates and appears way outside of the bounds of the video, as if it was put where the video finishes. HOW DO I MAKE IT WORK?!

[latent-broadcasting]

I tried this and for some reason when I apply the track data, the layer moves off the screen. Both layers have the same resolution and aspect ratio. I don't know what is happening :(

[NECRDYT]

hey what if the video clip doesnt have motion tracking markers?

[teeambird]

it tracks horribly to my footage I had a green screen with cross hairs and still slips everywhere. I end up key framing hundreds of frames by hand and the end result is still terrible.

[timolammi]

Good video, thank You! But was too fast paced. I can't keep up. Please little lower.

[brainuser]

Well, it would be much easier to remove and adjust the corners of the overlay in its comp. The easiest way is to add a picture of this phone (e.g. find in Google). Or simply mask out the corners of the overlay, and then lock the main comp (make a two-screen view) and adjust the masks. But it's just my opinion, based on my personal practice. And of course, it would be useful to say a couple of words about compositing, at least mention some basic adjustments, like matching the color (tint), grain, noise...
