Can’t Apply Mocha Pro Mask ML in After Effects

Hi guys,

I’m looking for some advice from someone skilled in Mocha Pro. The last few days, I’ve been watching some tutorials about the ML Matte Assist. I select the area and let the AI shape the object to track. I see there’s a spline with points only on the first frame, but as I understand the ML mask is tracked in a different way, so I ignore this. After tracking, I go to the Matte section where the Generate Object Matte is already selected. I activate Refine Layer Matte, save the project, and exit Mocha.

Back in AE, I select Apply Matte and nothing happens. When I scroll through the timeline, it’s like my video is not responding at all, the frames don’t change. The video plays only if I turn off the Apply Matte option. If I click Create AE masks, it adds the spline points of that first frame only. It seems there’s a mask layer that has some keyframes, but nothing happens either way.

I did 2 screen recordings to demonstrate this, and I hope there’s someone here who can help and tell me I’m doing wrong:
