Rotoscoping & Tracking Made Easy in After Effects (using Roto Brush + Mocha AE)
In this After Effects tutorial, we’ll show you how to combine Roto Brush and Mocha AE to create smooth, accurate rotoscoping with solid tracking. Learn how to track multiple layers (like a cape and a windmill), apply corner pin data, fix jittery tracking by disabling perspective/skew, and enhance your roto with proper anchor point animation. Whether you’re cutting out a subject or attaching motion graphics to a tracked surface, this tutorial walks you through a pro-level VFX workflow using native AE tools plus the power of Mocha AE.
