Tracking software comparison - MatchMover, Maya Live, Mocha for AE, and After Effects duke it out for the best point-tracking solution! Who will win?

Maya Live - Second best tracks, fastest
MatchMover - More prone to jitter/random slip, efficient in bulk
After Effects - Most prone to slip, grabbing wrong target

Work on the short film is progressing nicely, and an additional project has been picked up!
I've noticed a fair bit of traffic comes from my Escher piece, so I've decided to offer it up, free. Download the model if you would like!
I've also added another option or two for Relativity image sizes.
