MOCHA PRO: Removing Tracking Markers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfGQ7jYcCDQ

Notes:

  • layer order matters.
    • closest to lens, highest in stack.
  • track from most detail to least detail.
  • can add and subtract points on the fly, tracking data is independent.
  • Join Layers Tool: using the little "vampire teeth / ladybug head"
    • you can attach layers to other layers (and enables point snapping between the two layers.
  • can interpolate between clean plates.
  • Box-Blur in AE is computationally cheap.
  • clip layers when you no longer need them.
  • make sure to be on the first frame in AE before pasting data from Mocha.
For shots that require removing markers behind wet glass with beats of water in front, use a color key and garbage mattes.  Mocha can be used for matte generation, but not necessary.
