It wont let me paste the motion tracked footage from mocha back into my AE.
I can paste it into the main screen where the footage is. But it isnt doing what its supposed to be doing.

You need to paste it on a null object and unclick anchor point.( If you did Position, Scale, And Rotation.

DO NOT FORGET!!!!
Depending on the light change the smoke, dust, and shockwave depending on your light to make it blend with the footage

I have almost done through this great tutorial.But with the shockwave layer when Im trying to set the keyframe assistant the "exponential scale" is gray.
I did the setting as Andrew said.I scaled a white, masked solid with 2 keyframes.But I cannot set the timings.

Steps I follow after watching a tutorial by andrew:
-"That looks awesome! Im going to do a similar one with the same technique."
-After one hour "Oh that looks like shit. Im going to do the exact same things as shown in the video"
-After one more hour "Still looks like shit" *being upset*

mocha comes with AE. It's a standalone program with full user interface.

i love your tutorials, thanks aloooott.
but i have an interesting challenge for you: would you be able to recreate the city folding effect in inception? i'm sure alot of us would be extremely thrilled to see you attempt that effect, thanks :)
just me

haha I know how to answer that! you need two shots: one from the street in a horizontal angle and one shot from above. ( might be difficult to get THAT). The you just mask out between the buildings (at the horizontal shot) and make the shot made from above appear between the horizontal which is masked out and the horizontal shot without a mask for the background Looks like( I I L ' )from the side ( the first I is the horizontal shot without a mask, the second I the shot from above and the L the shot with the mask. The " ' " is the point your viewing. then make the horizontal shot go upwards, maybe rotate it a bit and to prevent cutoff edges just use a CC sphere. Try it out and well.. good luck ;)

and yeah you could also do it with 3D software blablablaaa but I don't really use them :D

What is the point of tracking? I don't understand that.. Can someone explain ? What happens if i don't track it
luka
05/13/2012
try without tracking and you will see a diffrence

if you don't track, then everything with just move with the camera, it will look fake, tracking makes it look like its involved in the scene. Even if you have the best looking assets it will never look perfect unless you track (which sadly takes a while). Hope i answered your question :)
