Now it’s time to adjust the planar surface, which lets you define the specific region where you want the screen insert to be placed. Then click on the “Track Backwards” icon. You’ll be able to see if the track is working if the tracking layer stays on the phone in the same location over time.Īfter tracking forward, scrub the Current Time Indicator (CTI) to the green triangle on the time rule, which is the point at which we’re creating the tracking layer. Since this clip is short and Mocha’s tracking is accelerated by GPU, it won’t take long to track. Now, track forward by selecting the “Track Forward” icon, which will track frame by frame. Toward the bottom, under the “Track” tab, make sure to select “Perspective,” so that it will track perspective change over time.

This will mask out the reflections, making it easier to track. Since screens have reflections, use the spline tool again to draw a rectangle just around the screen, inside the existing rectangle you just drew.

I’m going to draw what will look like a curved edge rectangle by clicking on each corner of the full phone surface, including the borders around the screen. In this case, we want to track the plane of the phone screen. Under “Effects Controls,” click on the “Mocha” logo to launch open the Mocha Pro plugin.ĭefine the plane you want to track by using the “Create an X-Spline” tool. To start, go to your “Effects” tab and search for “Mocha Pro,” then drag and drop it onto the clip in your sequence. (If you want to purchase it, you can use my code GAL10 to get 10% off.)
