Think Bigger From Filmora User Guide
Mocha Filmora - For Mac
For videos that have too rapid movements and motions, using the native tracking tool is not enough, as all the small motion details are missed. However, Wondershare Filmora has introduced a new plugin that allows users to mark the objects and surfaces and track motions across them. It provides the ability to apply the tracked effects that are more realistic and accurate by offering the Mocha UI.
This utility is available within the Filmora interface under the "Boris FX" effects section. This user interface provides various techniques to make selections for a specific object and track it effortlessly throughout the video. Moreover, users can create layers and insert objects like logos into a moving object in a video.

Once you enter the Mocha UI, head to the menu bar at the top and press the "Tools" menu. Next, locate the "Create X-Spline Layer" option.
Step 2. Make Selections of the Plain Area
After the spline is enabled, make selections of the planar surface by dragging and clicking the cursor around the surface. Right-click on the selection to lock it and head to the "Track" section to enable the "manual Track" option. Finally, hit the "Track Forward" option to begin the tracking process.
