Can two mocha for After Effects X-Spline Layers be merged ?
- by George Profenza
Hello,
I'm new to mocha for After Effects, but like the auto tracking feature.
There are a few markers I'm adding, but there's one which is giving me a bit of a headache.
I'm tracking a circle that moves around a larger object, so it moves in front of it initially, then behind, being occluded by the larger object, then in front again.
I tried to track the circle in the first part(when it's in front, before being occluded) and in the second part(when it's in front again, coming out on the other side of the large object) using a single X-Spline.
The problem is the second part starts in a different location and I don't know how to 'move' the X-Spline to the new position and track from there, without affecting the previous keyframes.
As a workaround I use two X-Spline Layers, export the data to .txt files, then manually merge the two files into a new one containing keyframes from both X-Spline Layers.
Is there an easier way to do this (either merging two X-Spline Layer, or using a single X-Spline Layer that can move to a new location without affecting previous keyframes) ?
Any suggestion would help.
