Mocha exporting spline data

[Common Form]

Is there a way to export spline data using Mocha AE? To be clear, I know that 'planar surface' data are exported by 'Create Track Data,' but I'm trying to export the spline points as well (made using Rectangle Spline).

Spline data can be exported using the Pro version and the respective plug-ins.

Thanks Mylenium - can you please elaborate on the process? I don't yet have the Pro version but I'd gladly purchase it if I knew I could export the spline data. Cheers!

If you are using the latest Mocha AE plugin versions included in AE, you can do it. Instead of using tracking data you can access spline data and convert it into native AE masks using the Matte category in the Mocha AE plugin. Under the Visible Layers option you can select what spline created in Mocha will be used. Then click on the CREATE AE MASKS button.

Thanks so much Jose, that worked! Would it be possible to then extract the spline vertex locations from the mask information? FWIW, the spline consists of 4 points (tracking a picture on a wall).

I seemed to have found the solution - well, not so straightforward but definitely works. Thanks Jose for pointing me in the right direction.

For those that are needing the same solution:

After making the mask, I had to write a script - the key line is as follows:

var pathVerts = app.project.item(1).layer("Shape Layer 1").property("Contents").property("Path 1").property("Path").valueAtTime((i*thisComp.frameDuration), false).vertices;
