Here we can see the shot in the mocha interface and I just want to remind you that we have a rock focus, meaning that there's a lot of blurriness in this shot, and mocha should be able to overcome these problems, but we do need to make sure that when we are starting to track, we're not going to track elements which are not related to the plane that we need to, so in other words, we don't want to track anything from this guy's t-shirt or his fingers, or of course the guitar. Now of course you can change both the name and location if you so desired to, but I'm going to leave the default as is, and I'm just going to click okay.

This will launch mocha and switch you to the software, and you'll be promoted to create a new project, which is going to be named after the name of the clip that you are choosing from the After Effects timeline and it will also save a copy of this project near the media files. To get started and launch mocha, we need to select the clip in the timeline, in my case this base guitar clip, then go to the Animation menu and choose Tracking mocha AE. So we're going to track this shot using mocha AE, and this is a planar tracking software which is bundled with every copy of After Effects.
