After Effects includes Imagineer Systems mocha for After Effects (mocha-AE), a stand-alone planar tracking application that can export tracking
data for use in compositions in After Effects. For many tracking tasks, mocha-AE provides superior results with greater convenience than do the
native After Effects tracking features. For more information, see the mocha-AE documentation, which is available from the Help menu in the
mocha-AE application.
mocha AE is launchable from within After Effects CS6. To use mocha AE in After Effects CS6, choose from the following:
Animation > Track in mocha AE
Edit > Paste mocha mask
Note: After Effects also includes the mocha shape for After Effects (mocha shape AE) plug-in, which converts paths from mocha-AE into mattes
in After Effects. (See Resources for Imagineer mocha shape for After Effects (mocha shape AE).)
Note: The free trial version of Adobe After Effects software does not include some features that depend upon software licensed from parties other
than Adobe. For example, mocha for After Effects, some effect plug-ins are available only with the full version of Adobe After Effects software.
(See Setup and installation.)

Motion tracking overview and resources
With motion tracking, you can track the movement of an object and then apply the tracking data for that movement to another object—such as
another layer or an effect control point—to create compositions in which images and effects follow the motion. You can also stabilize motion, in
which case the tracking data is used to animate the tracked layer to compensate for movement of an object in that layer. You can link properties to
tracking data using expressions, which opens up a wide variety of uses.
After Effects tracks motion by matching image data from a selected area in a frame to image data in each succeeding frame. You can apply the
same tracking data to different layers or effects. You can also track multiple objects in the same layer.

Note:
In After Effects CS6, you can track camera motion and place 3D objects in 2D footage much more easily using the 3D camera tracker. For
