Imagineer Systems Showcases mocha Pro 4 and Exciting Innovations at IBC2014 04 Sep 2014
Imagineer Systems, creators of the Academy Award-winning mocha planar tracking technology, will be exhibiting at this year's IBC Show, which will be held at the RAI in Amsterdam from September 12th through 16th. Visit Imagineer Systems at stand 7.K29 for hands-on demonstrations of the recently released mocha Pro 4, which features a brand new stereoscopic 3D workflow, Python scripting support, Adobe Premiere support, customizable keyboard shortcuts, new exports and format handling, and more improvements for visual effects and post-production facilities. Attendees to the show can also get a sneak preview of the soon-to-be-released mocha Pro v4.1, plus hear from visual effects artists using mocha in their daily workflows.
mocha has gained a dedicated customer base of post-production artists working on episodic television, commercials and feature film visual effects. For our new version 4 release, we have focused on requests from our broadcast and film customers. We have added stereoscopic 3D support to produce a time saving workflow in which an artist can planar track between the left and right views. The result is an efficient workflow for stereo 3D tracking, roto, camera solving and better object removal (clean plating), says Ross Shain, chief marketing officer, Imagineer Systems. Additionally, new Adobe Premiere mask export, improved Nuke and After Effects support, and Python scripting are all features that address the demands of our significantly expanding user base. We look forward to showcasing these new tools at IBC2014.
More About mocha Pro v4
Packed with new innovative features for post-production, mocha Pro 4 offers groundbreaking native Stereo 3D (S3D) workflow capabilities, advanced support for Python scripting and more. mocha's new stereoscopic 3D workflow adds unique stereo support to planar tracking, rotoscoping, object removal and 3D camera solving. It also adds the ability to work on uncorrected, native stereo 3D footage, allowing users to quickly analyze differences between right and left camera streams. Support for Python scripting allows facilities to further customize their workflows, integrating mocha Pro 4 deeper into their content management systems for broadcast or visual effects pipelines.
The customizable keyboard shortcut interface on mocha Pro 4 allows users to edit and save customizable keyboard layouts or select industry standard keyboard layouts such as Adobe After Effects or Nuke. New exports and format handling includes support for Adobe Premiere Pro masks, Nuke 7 Tracker export and improved Nuke Roto exports. Version 4 also improves QuickTime and MPEG support. Premiere editors can now paste mocha roto masks directly to their timeline for advanced isolation, blurring and color correction tasks. mocha Pro 4's improved user interface plus high-resolution retina display support greatly enhances the end user experience.
