Mocha Pro: Auto-Solve Problems? Focus 3D Tracking with Inverted Masks [Boris FX]
This Mocha Pro tutorial identifies common issues that plague auto-solves, like distant objects and moving elements. Elizabeth Postol showcases a time-saving method that utilizes inverted masks to focus the solver on your desired tracking area.

Initially, an automated solve on a time-lapse clip reveals issues: inaccurate ground plane, excessive trackers in distant areas (sky, water), and trackers following moving objects. These factors contribute to solving errors.
The solution lies in creating a mask that encompasses only the desired tracking area (central cliff face). In the Camera Solve tab, this mask is set to "invert" mode. This instructs the solver to focus solely on the masked region, effectively excluding irrelevant data.
Key points:
• Recognize signs of a problematic 3D camera solve
• Leverage inverted masks for optimal tracking
• Achieve significantly improved accuracy and efficiency
• Export your clean solve with confidence
