Refined Track and Roto Tools

New tools make tracking and roto easier.

  • Extrapolate Track: Track objects moving off-screen or behind other objects using the motion of previous frames to complete planar or PowerMesh tracking.
  • Preprocessing Module: Adds a new high-pass filter that only tracks the edge detail in your shots. It’s perfect for footage with low visible detail or large lighting changes.
  • Layer View Options: Visualize motion blur and the track search area directly in the viewer.
  • Skip & Step Tracking: Avoid tracking problematic frames or create fast garbage masks. Mocha automatically compensates for the missing tracking data. Choose between Linear or Constant keyframes to make stepped tracking easier on stop-motion or other traditional animation workflows.

  • Inner Width Feather Adjustment: Alter the inner or outer edge points of a spline using the Edge Offset properties.
  • Shrink and Grow Splines: Move the inner and the outer points together using Edge Offset properties.
  • Clear Keyframes: Clear keyframes forward or backward from the current playhead position, making it easier to restart a section of work.
New Version 2024

The Most Reliable Tracking

Rock solid planar tracking is at the heart of all Mocha Pro modules. VFX artists turn to Mocha for its ease of use and reliability when faced with the most difficult shots.

Mocha is versatile, so use it the way you want…as a standalone application, or as a plugin in your favorite host.

Mocha Pro can export tracking, roto shapes, lens calibration and 3D data in a wide variety of formats, or render to file or back to your host.

Power Mesh

PowerMesh enables a simple-to-use, sub-planar tracking process for visual effects and rotoscoping that’s faster than most flow-based techniques.

Mocha Pro can track warped surfaces and organic objects, making it even more capable of match moves and digital makeup shots.

  • Render PowerMesh-driven inserts as composites or RGBA cutouts.
  • Output a Reverse Warp/Stabilized view for advanced paint and VFX tasks.
  • Use PowerMesh to drive roto shapes with fewer keyframes.
  • Export mesh vertices to After Effects Nulls, Nuke tracking, or Alembic for Flame, C4D, and more 3D support.

3D Camera Solves

Dive into intuitive planar and mesh tracking for streamlined 3D solutions with Mocha Pro’s new 3D camera tracking. Built on SynthEyes technology, Mocha’s familiar interface empowers you to seamlessly export tracks to your favorite hosts. No steep learning curve, just powerful 3D tracking integrated into your existing workflow.

Screen Inserts and Match Moves

Render accurate match moves and screen inserts with realistic motion blur or warped distortions. The Insert Module can be driven by PowerMesh and has improved ROI compositing with high quality sub-sampling and blend modes.

Use the Grid Warp tool to bend and deform insert elements to match curved and distorted surfaces.

Use preprocessing to enhance tracking and right-click on the surface to easily modify Inserts for general tracking challenges!

Roto with Less Keyframes

Mocha’s masking workflow features tracked spline tools to speed up shape creation and reduce manual keyframes. Export or render roto to most popular host applications.

X-Splines and Bezier splines with magnetic edge-snapping assistance and Area Brush tool help create detailed mask shapes — without requiring drawing skills.

PowerMesh warped splines deliver even more accurate results when masking organic moving objects like musculature, skin, fabrics, and more.

Remove Objects and Wires

Remove unwanted elements, wires, rigs, tracking marks, and 360 cameras. Generate clean plates for massive time-savings.

The Remove Module is an amazing alternative to traditional clone techniques for removing objects. It automatically detects temporal clean frames to blend and align pixels with little user input. Remove objects in locked shots without tracking using the “Static Scene” option.

Mega Clean Plates! Beyond object removal, this same technology can also be used to create a large, stitched image out of multiple frames.

Get started with the Remove Module | 13:16

Stabilize Camera or Object Motion

The Stabilize Module can lock down camera motion or stabilize based on select tracking layers. Export stabilized tracking data or render a stabilized clip.

With PowerMesh tracking enabled, the Stabilize Module can produce an inverse-warped flattened surface for paint fixes. Original motion is easily propagated back to the original.

For general editing, a smooth option with selectable anchor frames helps reduce high frequency jitters while maintaining original camera motion. Center, scale or crop stabilized footage based on user-driven tracking.

Lens Calibration Tools

The Lens Module provides a simple and easy-to-use interface to calibrate the distortion introduced by camera lenses. Remove unwanted lens distortion or match it to composite realistically. Use built-in line detection or splines for calibration.

Save calibration settings for lenses to reuse them or export Lens Calibration data can to read into Nuke’s STMap node or other VFX applications.

What is a Machine ID?
Your Machine ID is your Ethernet ID/MAC address. It consists of 6 pairs of numbers and letters A-F. You may see these pairs un-separated (d312a930bc7f), separated by colons (d3:12:a9:30:bc:7f) or separated by dashes (d3-12-a9-30-bc-7f). To find your Machine ID, please follow the steps below:
On Windows - Go to the Start menu, then in the search box type “cmd” and hit Enter. In the cmd window, type “ipconfig /all”. Find the line that reads “Physical Address”. This is your Machine ID.
On Mac - Go to System Preferences > Network and select your active network interface (e.g., Ethernet). From the list on the left. Click on ‘Advanced…’, then on ‘Hardware’. The Machine ID is listed under “MAC Address”.
On Linux - Open a terminal/shell window, and type “ifconfig”. Look for “Hwaddr” under eth0. This is your Machine ID.
