Mocha Pro 2024 Wins Best Product of the Year Award
At the 2024 NAB Show in Las Vegas, Mocha Pro 2024 was awarded the Best Product of the Year. This latest version of the popular visual effects software offers a host of new features designed to streamline object tracking and rotoscoping workflows.
Boris Yamnitsky, Founder and CEO of Boris FX, expressed his joy about the win, while John-Paul Smith, CEO of Imagineer Systems, expressed pride in the Mocha product team.
The new features in Mocha Pro 2024 include two major AI tools: the Object Brush and Matte Assist. These tools, along with enhancements in camera solving for moving objects in 3D space, make the software more capable than ever before.
One of the standout features of Mocha Pro 2024 is its 3D Tracking & Camera Solve. This feature simplifies matchmoves in compositing, animation, and motion graphics creation, making it easier for creators to work with 3D elements and realistic lighting.
Advanced Tracking & Roto Tools are also new in Mocha Pro 2024, designed to handle tasks more efficiently with options to skip or step over frames. Supervised feature trackers can be added for improved camera solve, while PowerMesh can be used to create 3D meshes within the software.
Mocha Pro 2024 also offers faster performance with major render speed increases and improved tracking accuracy. Garbage masks can be utilized to exclude certain areas during the camera solve process, ensuring that the results are as precise as possible.
Ben Brownlee provides a simple process for getting 3D tracking data from Mocha Pro to After Effects. A guide on this process, along with sample workflows for adding 3D elements and realistic lighting, is available.
If you're interested in trying out Mocha Pro 2024, a 14-day free trial is available upon request. The Boris FX Hub can be downloaded to install the software.
With these new features, Mocha Pro 2024 makes high-quality 3D camera solving accessible to a wide range of creators, making it an essential tool for any visual effects artist.
