Basic Tracking with MOCHA

[Guest]

Hello,

The same thing happened on more than one occasion, I sometimes manage to "fix" it but can't pinpoint exactly what am I doing that fixes it other than restarting AE multiple times.

QUESTION: Why the gif is not showing on the wall?

-->I have tracked the right wall using MOCHA
-->I close MOCHA, save tracking data
-->In effects panel I press on create track data, choose the .gif file that I need as my "layer export to"
-->Press "Apply Export"
--> Nothing
--> I think that maybe the gif is "hidden" somewhere. I create NULL object parent gif to it to try to adjust its position hoping that it will show up
--> Nothing

-->I do exactly the same steps but using a blue solid instead of a gif
-->It works

The gif file is fine because I used it in a different scene in the same project and it worked before (tracking it with mocha).

PLEASE HELP!

Place the gif in a precomp of the same dimensions as your main comp and apply the mocha tracking to that precomp.
