Mocha AE tracking data fails to export on Premiere Pro Dynamic Link layers

When using Mocha AE on a clip brought into After Effects via Premiere Pro Dynamic Link, clicking "Apply Export" (or "Create Track Data") fails to generate keyframes on the target Null Object.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Send a video clip from Premiere Pro to After Effects via Dynamic Link (e.g., Linked Comp).

  2. Apply the Mocha AE effect to the Dynamic Link layer.

  3. Launch Mocha AE, create a track, complete tracking forward, save, and exit back to AE.

  4. In Effect Controls > Mocha AE > Tracking Data, set Export Option to Transform and Layer Export To to a Null Object.

  5. Click Apply Export.

Expected Result: Tracking keyframes should be baked onto the designated Null Object, animating it over time.

Actual Result: No keyframes are created on the Null Object, and tracking parameters remain static at default values (silent failure).

Workaround: Pre-composing the Dynamic Link layer (Ctrl+Shift+C -> Move all attributes into the new composition) before running Mocha AE resolves the issue completely and allows keyframes to export properly.
