What you'll learn

In this series of lessons, we'll learn a variety of techniques to deal with difficult tracks and learn how to modify and apply mocha data to any type of layer in After Effects. We'll begin this project by creating a base track file to begin working off of. We'll then learn how to animate our track spline around any objects that break our track. Once that is done, we'll learn how to create mattes of our obstructions so they are no longer seen by our track. We'll then learn several different methods of applying these mattes and some time-saving tips for a more efficient workflow. Software required: mocha and After Effects (Project Files created in mocha v2 and After Effects CS4).
