Exercise 01: Fundamentals of Tracking. Runtime: 4:33
• A look at traditional tracking techniques
• What mocha doesn't do
• The first step into Planar Tracking
A short exercise mainly looking at point and feature trackers, to show what mocha does not use. We then take a brief look at mocha's Planar tracker and learn about the separation of Shape and Tracking data.
Exercise 02: User Interface. Runtime: 12:38
Exercise 03: Planar Tracking. Runtime: 19:19
• Create effective shapes for tracking
• How the Planar Tracker tracks
When tracking our first object, we see the importance of picking the right size shape to track. We also see the separation between the shape we track and the data that mocha gives us. A focus of this exercise are the tracking Parameters and how we adjust these to the footage we are tracking.
Exercise 04: Track Mattes. Runtime: 14:25
• Tracking multiple objects
• The importance of track mattes
• Figuring our tracking order
When tracking objects, they will often get obscured by other things in the scene. We look at how we deal with tracking an object that disappears behind other shapes. We go into detail about the importance of track mattes and what order we track the shapes.
