Motion Tracking Test 1 - Myst Linking Book

I decided a while ago to learn how to motion track in After Effects, and have finally started. I was lucky to stumble upon Imagineer's Mocha, which is a much more powerful video tracker than After Effect's pixel-based one, and it has the ability to export to After Effects, so I'm trying it out. Brilliant stuff so far, very impressed with the results. Tracked the 4 dots I'd placed in a rectangle on the page perfectly, then it was just a case of masking out the areas where my hand or the book's cover was over when the book was opening and closing.

Programs used:
- Adobe After Effects CS3
- Imagineer Systems Mocha 1.0
Media:
Video: Serenia Flyover, Myst IV: Revelation
Audio: Myst Medley, Video Games Live

what kind of files can u put into mocha? like .mov avi and so on..

[JBennett707]

@ALNUDN Pretty much anything you have a codec for. I'd stick with what you can export directly from your camera, though.

Can you do this in final cut?

[JBennett707]

@kenkwana Sorry, don't have a clue. Try googling for 'Final Cut Pro Motion Tracking' and see where it takes you?
