mocha Pro 5 Plug-in
The plug-in workflow uses the host’s media engine and project format, reducing the need for transcoding or external file management. Now supporting Avid Media Composer (AVX), Adobe Creative Cloud (After Effect Effects & Premiere Pro), and The Foundry’s Nuke and Blackmagic Design’s Fusion Studio
Launch mocha Pro as a plug-in from within your favorite editing and effects hosts. The plug-in workflow uses the host’s media engine and project format, reducing the need for transcoding or external file management. Now supporting Avid Media Composer (AVX) and Adobe Creative Cloud (After Affect Effects & Premiere Pro), and OFX support for The Foundry's Nuke, and Blackmagic Design's Resolve.
Major Features:
Architecture & workflow improvements:
mocha Pro will run as plug-in. Using host media engine (AVX, Adobe, Nuke, Resolve)
OpenCL GPU accelerated Planar Tracking = Speed Improvements.
Improved project format = Faster Save & Load
New improved license system (allows users to activate & deactivate license)
Integrated Python Module with scripting interface*
User Interface & Layout improvements.
New Import/Export Support Features:
Export mocha roto shapes to Blackmagic Fusion*
Batch export mocha roto shapes to Autodesk Flame Gmask
Import & export roto projects to Silhouette*
Export tracking, roto & 3D camera to MochaBlend plug-in for Maxon C4D
Export planar tracking data to HitFilm 4 Pro
* These features are only available in stand alone mocha Pro 5, not plug-in on first release. Should be updated in future point release.
Even better workflow than Adobe bundled mocha AE: The mocha Pro 5 plug-in greatly improves on mocha AE by embedding planar tracking and masking directly into the plug-in instead of launching stand alone application. This uses the host media engine and project format, reducing the need for transcoding or external file management. Now Media Composer and Premiere users can enjoy the same mocha tools inside their edit timeline.
For AE users: mocha Pro 5 adds advanced modules: Lens, Insert, Remove, Camera Solve & Stabilize.
What users are saying
“Boris FX has a long heritage of creating high-quality plugins for Avid Media Composer,” says Kate Ketcham, product manager, Avid. “Their collaboration with Imagineer Systems on a mocha Pro AVX plug-in enables editors to access mocha’s unique planar tracking and object removal features without leaving the timeline for faster, more efficient finishing workflows."
Early beta testers are already giving mocha Pro 5 glowing reviews. Yoram Tal, a colorist & online editor on hit TV shows such as ABC’s Dancing with the Stars and upcoming American Grit on FOX proclaims, "The mocha Pro 5 plug-in is exactly what I have been asking for. As a finishing artist, I am tasked with difficult corrections and fixes, so the ability to run mocha as an Avid Media Composer plug-in gives me a huge time-saving benefit. Also, the GPU planar tracker speed increase helps me get shots done quicker. Together, the new mocha Pro plug-in and the recent incorporation of mocha technology into Boris Continuum 10 plug-ins are probably the most significant effects tool advancements in recent Media Composer history.”
