prod-rocksteady-case

Curious Turtle is happy to announce the immediate release of a new HD video training course, Rock Steady : Successful Motion Tracking in Imagineer Systems Mocha & Adobe After Effects.  This training has previously only been available with our exclusive personal training courses but is now available for everyone.

The course uses Mocha for After Effects V2 but most of the information is just as useful if you're using Mocha AE V1 or the big boy Mocha.

Training is Not Just About Learning the Buttons

Throughout the fourteen exercises, you will master the art of Planar Tracking and find practical solutions to common & tough tracking problems.  Each project is a comprehensive look at a different challenge, designed to inform and inspire you to use new features and create great-looking effects.  You will quickly go from tracking neophyte to Mocha master.  This isn't a dry replacement for the Mocha manual - it's a practical guide about getting great tracks and what to do with that data in After Effects.

Move Beyond Simple Point Tracking

Discover more about the biggest reason to upgrade to After Effects CS4 : Imagineer Systems Mocha.  Planar Tracking gives you more from your tracks - much more.  Rock Steady is about using all of that data.  We will create deadly pits, quickly paint out distracting objects and replace logos using corner pins.  We will also take our other transform data  to create cool graphical effects, stabilise and smooth shaky cameras and all manner of things to speed up the arduous task of rotoscoping.
