how to handle backgrounds that have more than one plane in the mocha Pro object remove module.

As long as you have a track, you can easily remove unwanted elements in your shot. The remove module requires three things to operate, a track, a mask, and a clean plate – it’s pretty much as simple as it sounds.

One of the things that might throw a wrench in the process is working across mutual planes. Mocha, being a planar tracker, works best with “planes” in the shot.
