VFX artists and editors are loving the improvements found in the new mocha Pro plug-in, says Ross Shain, CMO of Boris FX and Imagineer Systems. While mocha has been an essential tool in VFX workflows for years now, the ability to now access mocha within the core Adobe video applications gives users additional tracking, roto, object removal and image stabilization features without the added hassle of managing multiple applications and projects.

The team at Koncept VR loves using the mocha Pro plug-in inside of Adobe After Effects, states Alex Chechelnitsky, Head of Production, Koncept VR.
The combined workflow with Mettle Skybox Studio is extremely useful for 360/VR post-production tasks, such as stabilizing shots and fixing footage. We specialize in cinematic VR projects and find mocha s unique tracking and object removal features to be a huge time-saver.
360/VR Tools
A special technology preview will feature mocha VR, upcoming new features designed for cinematic VR filmmakers to process, track and fix problematic 360 footage. mocha VR will complement Adobe video workflows for 360 tasks such as removing camera rigs, nadir patching, stabilizing drone camera jitter and more.
