Boris FX Mocha Pro v9.5.5 Build 35 Crack [2023]

Most people working in modern post production have heard about “tracking.” Many may have even dabbled in a little tracking to remove a dead pixel, do some simple sign replacements or stabilize a shaky shot. If you are lucky enough to have been successful in your standard Avid tracker or the amazing Adobe After Effects 3D Camera Solver then you will love what Imagineer System’s is doing with mocha Pro 4.1 and mocha Plus 4.1.

If you haven’t touched a tracker and/or are scared, I don’t blame you; it’s not necessarily a painless procedure (especially if you don’t have great source footage), but stick with it becausethe results of a great track, along with some creative motion graphics creativity, can bemind bending. After reading this review go check out the mocha Fundamentals series ofvideos.Those will get you started relatively quickly.

For this review ofImagineer Systems’ mocha Pro 4.1 and mocha Plus 4.1 I will touch on a few of the latest advances in planar tracking software as well as share some tips that may get you started and working faster.

What is planar tracking (or what ISN’T planar tracking)? Planar tracking is not a single point tracker, which is probably what most editors are used to. Point trackers follow one or a couple of points selected by the user within a small search area. Planar trackers, such as mocha Pro, use very wide search areas that constantly calculate where the object specified is in relation to the previous and the next frame of video. Unlike most point trackers, planar trackers can have part of the track go off screen while continuing to hold their track (a very handy feature). If the last few sentences threw you off a little, don’t fear it gets easier and more fun — just stay with me.

What are trackers typically used for? As an editor, I use trackers for stabilizing footage, replacing signs on buildings, removing (rotoscoping) production gear from a shot or even replacing someone’s eyes with a scary set of red monster eyes from, let’s say, Rampant Design Tools Monster Toolkit! Anytime you need to add something to a scene (text, objects, etc.) while retaining natural camera shake and movement, you will most likely use some sort of tracking software.

I first heard of mocha a few years ago when it came bundled with After Effects. I have to admit I was intimidated because it sounded like an entire new piece of software I had to learn, and since I was still trying to get comfortable inside of After Effects I stayed within AE using the built-in tracker and now the 3D camera solver — but that was a mistake. mocha is not as difficult to use as you might think. In fact I would argue it’s easier to use (and more accurate) than most other trackers you may have used inside of an NLE or VFX software… once you understand how to use it.

mocha Pro 4.1 To test out mocha Pro 4.1’s features downloaded their free stock footage clips of the month. (If you haven’t signed up, head over to their now and check back monthly for three royalty free, zero cost, HD stock footage clips per month — they work great for testing out products or even using in your own work.)

Once inside of mocha Pro 4.1, I immediately went to the frame that contained the most surface area of the object that I wanted to track. I grabbed my X-Spline tool and drew a closed spline around the front edge of a glass table — it had the most contrast even when blurred or reflected on. Then I pressed the track backwards and track forwards buttons and proceeded to track backwards to the first frame of video. Success! Then I tracked from where I began, forwards to the end frame. Unfortunately I lost my track pretty quickly. I adjusted my Min % Pixels Used Up to about 30 percent, which in turn causes the track to take longer but can sometimes solve sticky situations by upping the pixels used to calculate your tracking data. Luckily for me it worked this time for most of the track. I had to go back and manually adjust a few frames where a reflection caused my track to jump around, but for the most part mocha Pro 4.1 stuck to what I wanted and adjusting after the fact is not hard at all.
