Hi there,

 

are there any tracker plugins available for Premiere Pro so that elements such as images, motion graphics, callouts, etc. can be motion tracked within PP so that the PP/AE roundtrip isn't necessary?

I know you can keyframe masks but that's not as acurate as a good motion tracker. There are a ton of plugins available for Final Cut Pro X that have Mocha tracking integrated. Just wondering if there's something simliar available for Premiere Pro...

yes there is Boris FX Mocha Pro 2020: https://borisfx.com/products/mocha-pro/?collection=mocha-pro&product=mocha-pro

You can also do it inside Premiere Pro, Larry Jordan explains it best here:

you can also use dynamic link with After Effects if you have it, and track inside AE,

especially if you have low res footage, not enough lit footage or if you want adavnced tracking...

I had been looking for years for something you can use simply within premiere and just found this complete game changer (as well as this thread when looking)

 

He does a tutorial here:

and you can buy it (for only $24.90!!!) here:

    Thanks for your answer. The reason I asked is I'd like to track animated callouts and titles directly within PP, ideally with a plugin without having to make a roundtrip to AE or Mocha.

     

    I'll see what the mocha pro can do within Premiere Pro.

      if you draw a mask with the pen tool in the opacity area of the effects controls, you can track it and premiere will sometimes do a decent job depending on the contrast between the object your background.   so in this example, I've roughly drawn the mask and then click on the forward button and it will track the mask.  You may need to adjust the mask to get better results.

      Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately that wouldn't work. I'd like to track certain animated callouts and titles as opposed to masks.
