A couple of days ago we presented you with a breeze tutorial on how to add more value to your commercial video by adding Quicktime-based mattes from Rampant Design.
Today we have another tutorial from the CEO and founder of the company Sean Mullen that shows how to use motion tracking in After Effects in order to create very powerful effects that will add more production value to our videos.

Mocha AE is a powerful motion tracking and roto utility created for VFX artists and editors. It’s the ideal compliment utility for post-production challenges.
