Edge snapping can save you many minutes when fine-tuning a track or roto. Using automatic edge snapping with the Alt+s shortcut in conjunction with Area Brush will take the rough garbage matte and help tighten it to the points with the greatest contrast. The Area Brush helps when making a rough garbage matte around an object and works by painting over the surface you want a matte around and clicking “Quick Mask.” At first I was skeptical, but now I use it 60% of the time.
#MOCHA PRO BUY UPDATE#
So if you need to perform a set extension, sky replacement or other VFX technique but need a clean plate of the scene, Mocha Pro’s Mega Plate will stitch one together from video footage automatically.Īnother very helpful update is the Area Brush.
#MOCHA PRO BUY PRO#
Mocha Pro 2020 has brought the new Mega Plate module, which helps build a literal “clean plate” from your video footage. In versions 20.5, there are even more updates that separate the versions. So why would you need Mocha Pro versus Mocha built into After Effects, Continuum and Sapphire? Mocha Pro offers much more than the standard Mocha or Mocha AE, including GPU-accelerated tracking, GPU-accelerated object removal, in-depth masking with edge-snapping (a huge help), stabilization, camera lens calibration, 3D Camera Solver, stereo 360/VR support and much more. Mocha Pro can lock a track to an object better than most other trackers available. I also use Mocha in conjunction with Continuum and Sapphire when using plugins like BCC Remover, BCC Corner Pin Studio and more. These blurs may have perspective shifts or people walking in front of them that I need to cut out (aka rotoscoping), and Mocha makes these jobs easy.
#MOCHA PRO BUY LICENSE#
In a practical sense, I use Mocha for blurring license plates and address numbers. With a planar tracker like Mocha Pro, you are tracking contrast and texture over time, which works particularly well on objects that have flat surfaces with texture - think of a stucco wall or a billboard. Typically, when tracking points, you are tracking a single pixel or group of pixels inside of a user-defined search area. Mocha Pro does planar tracking, which is a fancy way of saying it’s a texture tracker. Let’s break Mocha Pro 2020 (and 2020.5) and Silhouette 2020 (and 2020.5) down individually.
Prior to the Silhouette 2020 release, Mocha integration required an extra fee, but Mocha is now built in at no additional cost. Silhouette is like Mocha’s sibling: a paint, rotoscope and compositing application that has Mocha planar tracking built in. So what is the difference between Mocha and Silhouette? In a nutshell, Mocha is a planar tracker at heart that happens to be very good at helping with rotoscope work, object removal and more. And if you buy the stand-alone Silhouette option, the Silhouette Paint plugin is included. Silhouette 2020.5 costs $1,795 for a new license of the stand-alone app, and Silhouette Paint is available as a subscription-only pricing option for an annual price of $195 for Adobe, $395 for OFX or multi-host for $595. There are a bunch of options for bundles, which you can put together on the BorisFX website. For an added bonus, I’ll touch on the new Silhouette Paint Plugin as well.įirst let’s talk pricing: the Mocha Pro 2020.5 stand-alone + multi-host option runs $1,495 for a new license multi-host (Adobe, Avid, and OFX) runs $995 and the individual apps run about $695 per app. Now I’m going to tackle Mocha Pro 20.5 as well as the Silhouette 20.5.
Both have some exceptional tools and sparkles to add to your videos.
Back in May, I reviewed Boris FX’s Continuum 2020.5 and Sapphire 2020.
