After Effects Mocha Tracking Tutorial (Mocha AE For Beginners)
Looking for professional practice footage to practice this technique? Visit the ActionVFX Practice Footage Library! In this After Effects tutorial we will be learning about tracking -- especially planar tracking using @BorisFXco Mocha AE plugin. This is a beginner-level tutorial, meaning we will go back to the basic and breakdown the what and how of planar tracking, how it is different from point tracking, the many features of Mocha, and many others. We will try to track a sign board and replace the existing text with some custom textures for demonstration.
