I love your tutorials very much. And I probably agree with your politics. But the attempt at humor with this tutorial just seemed to distract from the learning process.

Why did you keep censoring out references to yourself? Was that a joke? Are you hiring comedy writers? I think you should. I've been thinking of relocating to Germany before it becomes mandatory ;)

Thank you for your tutorials. I am using your mocha import but 16:08 into your video you finish off the effect with RG-keep current frame. I am using mocha ae and need to remove a mic stand out of a scene. Can I do this effectively without the RG warp plugin or mocha pro?

Hi Rich,

you can create a stabilized precomp and paint out the mic in the precomp. In case the mic is moving relative to its background, make sure to track the background, not the mic (then you have a static picture in the precomp to paint on). See how I remove the eye brow in the tutorial "Creating a tracked head wound".
