When I want to make a new file with Mocha and when I import my clip, it says 'Failed to open the movie file: check that the file is readable.' Are my videos the wrong file type, cause I have MPG's..

@linuxzs It may have something to do with your video file formatting or codec. That's the only explanation I can think of in your case.

Mine did not turn out very well though, it for some reason whent out of sync, any ideas?

@PhoenixFireFx - check your frame rates first when you're matching up the footage, then also be sure your playback head (in After Effects' timeline panel) is set to Zero before pasting the Mocha data in the layer.

@ElectricBluePenguin7 You must buy your copy legitimately from Adobe and it ships with Mocha for AE. Contact them if yours did not.

@pxlpainter I bought After Effects CS4 but it doesn't have Mocha. Help?

When I import my clip the screen stays blank and it says "failed to texture image" i have tried .mov and .avi but nothing works, my frame rate is also set to the correct setting...help please

@bingzapboom Mocha for AE is a stand-alone app that ships with AE so I'm not sure if you get it with the trial version or not.
