Difficult tracking

[WhizzKid]

I thought I was OK at motion tracking… but I have bought some stock templates and am learning to up my game.

I am seriously having difficulty with this one: https://stock.adobe.com/uk/video/smartphone-with-a-green-screen-featuring-dynamic-animations-from-ri...

Getting either the phone corners or (and I assume the intended) crosses to track consistently fails with a perpective corner pin. I have chosen Saturation channel to no avail.

How can I get a good track?

It is mystifying me and I thought this would be a good starter!

Try using Mocha AE for the tracking. The After Effects tracker requires much more detail in the object tracking section (inner square).

I don't have time to give you a step by step, but track the last shot with the square corners and you'll have to manually adjust the keyframes for the first four or five frames as the rectangle moves on screen.

Thank you. I have used Mocha and am happy. Disappointed that a nice crosshair on a simple background isn't sufficient!
