Watch the Mocha 2021 What's New Overview

The next evolution of Mocha. PowerMesh enables a powerful new sub-planar tracking engine for VFX, roto and stabilization. Warped surface tracking and roto that sticks.

Track complex organic surfaces through occlusions and blur using Mocha’s intuitive layer based interface. Simple to use and faster than most optical flow based techniques.

Apply to source files for realistic match moves, convert to AE Nulls to drive motion graphics, render a mesh warped stabilize/reverse stabilize plate for compositing, or export dense tracking data to host applications.

Watch the Intro to Power Mesh tutorial

PowerMesh dense tracking data can be exported to Adobe After Effects (via Nulls) or choose the new Alembic universal export to support Foundry NUKE, Autodesk Flame, Blackmagic Fusion and 3D applications like Cinema4D or Maya.

Correcting slipping or drifting tracking errors is easier than ever before with the significantly improved AdjustTrack module. Use dynamic offset adjustments to achieve perfect results on the most difficult tracking shots. Watch Now.

Once limited to 4-point perspective fixes, AdjustTrack now includes all track parameters to be more effective in editing data — when objects go off-screen, or become occluded by foreground objects.

Adjusted track data can be exported to a wide variety of hosts (see chart) or used internally to drive rotoscoping and advanced tasks such as object removal and image stabilization.

Professional broadcast, post-production, and visual effects companies rely on adaptable tools to fit into custom pipelines and workflows. Use Mocha Pro’s Python Script Editor to create custom tools, batch process layers, or even integrate with asset management tools such as Shotgun or FTrack.

Mocha Pro 2021 adds Python Scripting to the Mocha Pro plugin, creating full feature parity with the Mocha Pro standalone application. Learn More

Release Notes

Mocha Pro supports OpenColorIO color management for consistent and predictable color display across industry workflows. Version 2020.5 now introduces major improvements to Mocha’s OCIO workflow.

OCIO support is compatible with the Academy Color Encoding Specification (ACES) and enables improved color-managed workflows with high-end post-production and VFX applications such as Silhouette, Foundry’s NUKE, Autodesk Flame, Avid Media Composer, and more.

Mocha Pro 2020.5 adds a new export format to better support Autodesk Flame artists. Mocha Pro can export directly to Gmask Tracer nodes with separated axis transformations for more control. For Autodesk Flame, the Mocha Pro OFX plug-in can be run from within Flame on macOS and Linux, enabling a complementary workflow for tracking and masking.

• Mega Plates: a unique new module generates larger-than raster image stitch based on planar tracking and temporal frame analysis
• Area Brush: new paint tool for simple creation of tracking and masking layers
• OpenColorIO: color management for high-end VFX and finishing workflows.
• Python 3 Support: Mocha now uses Python 3.7
• Updated Python API: New tools to modify and create keyframes, along with a streamlined parameter system.

Mega Plate is a unique new module building on Mocha’s most powerful core technologies; planar tracking and temporal frame analysis to create a stitched extended frame for visual effects tasks.

Working with Mega Plates is a new way to visualize and work on a larger than raster “Mega” canvas for common VFX tasks such as object removal, clean plating, sky replacements, matte painting, and set extensions. A rendered Mega Plate can be saved for Mocha's Remove Module or exported with tracking data for advanced effects and clean up in Foundry NUKE, Adobe After Effects, Blackmagic Fusion or other VFX applications.

Area Brush is a paint tool designed to speed up Mocha’s most repetitive task: the creation of tracking and masking layers. Area Brush with Quick Mask mode brings gestural paint functionality into Mocha to define planar tracking and masking search areas. Instead of clicking and dragging spline points, add and subtract paint strokes are converted to vector splines greatly speeding up tracking and masking tasks.
