Mocha VR is a groundbreaking new software tool bringing high-end visual effects and post-production workflows to 360 /VR filmmaking. Based on Imagineer's Academy Award-winning planar tracking algorithm, Mocha VR is also the first plug-in to bring native 360 optimized planar tracking, masking, object removal, and horizon stabilization tools to host applications Adobe Premiere Pro CC, Adobe After Effects CC, Avid Media Composer , The Foundry's NUKE , and Blackmagic Design Fusion.
Mocha VR marks the first foray into the quickly expanding 360 filmmaking community by parent company Boris FX , the leading developers of creative VFX plug-ins including flagship products Boris Continuum, Mocha Pro, and recently acquired Sapphire.
Emerging 360 /VR content creators want to produce Hollywood style visuals and use high-end finishing techniques to make their 360 videos more impactful, says Ross Shain, chief marketing officer. However, the equirectangular format brings technical challenges to the artists tasked with delivering high quality deliverables. Mocha VR introduces an efficient, time-saving post-stitch workflow for editors, compositors, and finishing artists. We are excited that Mocha's famous planar tracking can now be used to fix many problems associated with 360 post, such as removing cameras and stabilizing aerial footage.
Avid is committed to working with third-parties to offer the most comprehensive tools and workflow solutions to create, distribute, and monetize media, says Kate Ketcham, product manager, Avid. Boris FX has extensive experience creating high-quality plug-ins for Avid Media Composer. The new Mocha VR AVX plug-in is notable for being the first third-party 360 video tool designed to support the Avid editing workflow.
Early Mocha VR beta testers have reaped the benefits of the powerful new 360 /VR workflow. Before Mocha VR, we were using Mocha AE to rotoscope for rig removal in 360 video projects. With Mocha VR, it is so much easier to do this work! says Daniel Rojas Roa, 3GO Video Time. Saving time is a priority, so we are most excited about the horizon stabilization and object removal tools.
Mocha VR was crucial in executing the tracking and object removal on our 360 /VR action series Augmented', states Blair Kelly, IGN.Still Frame from IGN's Scripted VR Series Augmented .
