Imagineer Systems mocha shape for Final Cut Imports Roto Shape Data from Imagineer Systems Solutions; mocha for Final Cut v2, mocha v1.5 and motor v1.5 Provide Seamless Roto and Shape Export to mocha for Final Cut, mocha for After Effects

GUILDFORD, UK (June 24, 2009) - Imagineer Systems (www.imagineersystems.com) today announced the culmination of an aggressive product development cycle with the release of a powerful new VFX plug-in for Final Cut Pro users - mocha shape for Final Cut. Designed to import rotoscoping shape data exported from mocha into Final Cut, mocha shape for Final Cut enables Final Cut Pro users to easily import multi-layer shape data with variable, per point edge feathering. This new development significantly saves render time and improves the workflow between Imagineer’s mocha family of desktop VFX products and Final Cut Pro.

"For years, Final Cut editors have asked for better masking tools to perform tasks such as isolated color correction and the blurring of objects," said Ross Shain, chief marketing officer for Imagineer Systems. "The new mocha shape FxPlug, combined with mocha for Final Cut offers an affordable and easy to learn solution. Now editors, can quickly track masking shapes to objects, import the XML data and finish their shot within Final Cut rather than another finishing software."

The Company also announced today a series of new product updates to its entire mocha family of desktop planar tracking tools, as well as to motor, its powerful desktop roto station: mocha for Final Cut v2, mocha v1.5 (full version) and motor v1.5. With these new releases, Imagineer Systems is integrating seamless connectivity between its mocha and motor families of desktop VFX solutions.

"By the way, the new mocha shape exporter is dope! The simple fact that you don't have to render your mattes before exporting to After Effects makes mocha shape indispensable.....throw your renders away!"Jim Geduldick, Co-Host, AENY and Finacutuser.com

"To say mocha After Effects v2 is a upgrade is an understatement it completely changes the way a roto artist can work in After Effects. mocha for After Effects v2 has saved me countless hours of rotoscoping!"Josh Johnson, Freelance VFX Artist

"mocha for After Effects gets a lot of use around here. Its tracking just works, so it makes very fast work of handling the typical image fix ups we do around here, which often includes removing objects from shots. In a recent job for a regional auto repair company, there were some logos on a toolbox behind the actor we needed to remove. In under an hour per shot we tracked the movement in the shot to place a cover up, and then roto'd the moving actor as he passed in front of it. It was quick and painless. Without mocha for After Effects, it would not of been doable on the client's post budget. mocha for After Effects gave us a critical advantage over our competitors!",Steve Oakley, Digital Illusionist - DP - Motion Graphics - Editing

Red Giant Software Unveils Warp: Corner Pin, Shadow, and Reflection Tools

11/10/2008 Permalink 0 Comments share on linkedin
jpg

San Francisco, CA, November 10, 2008 - Red Giant Software, publisher of the popular Magic Bullet, Knoll Light Factory and Trapcode products, today introduced Red Giant Warp. Adding a perfect shadow, a realistic reflection or working with distorted video can be tough. Red Giant Warp makes it easy to generate these effects quickly.

The three powerful plug-ins in the Warp toolset give users ultimate control over shadows, reflections and corner point warps. The Shadow tool renders realistic shadows for text or subjects shot on greenscreen, while the Reflection tool creates perfect mirror-like reflections. The advanced Corner Pin tool includes features for working with warped images, importing tracking data from Mocha for After Effects, and adding secondary transforms and motion blur-everything you need to heighten realism in any scene. Priced at $199, Warp is available for purchase from http://toolfarm.stores.yahoo.net/redgiantwarp10.html.

The capabilities of Red Giant Warp go far beyond those of its application hosts. Designed with input from real-world testers, Warp includes features such as dual-warp corner pinning with full motion blur support, 3D shadows with user-definable bending effects, and powerful reflection compositing that would be complex and time-consuming to generate by hand. With Warp, users can generate these realistic effects quickly and without complex compositing tricks.

Highlights



Pin with Precision

It's tough to take video from a warped source, such as a billboard shot in perspective, and add it to another video. But the dual warping tools in Warp's Corner Pin plug-in make it easy to take any video source, warped or not, and put it into a new place with proper perspective. With advanced offset controls and direct Mocha for After Effects integration, manipulating corner pins with tracking data couldn't be easier.

Play on the Dark Side

Adding depth is easy with the Shadow tool. Three point controls let users set the shadow perspective, and fade controls to create realistic falloff. A unique bend control can warp the shadow to create the illusion of shadows falling on two planes in 3D space.

Reflect your World

Adding a simple reflection is easy in most tools, but making it look real can be a challenge. Reflection provides an easy-to-use setup control for defining a mirror reflection for any source video or image. Extensive controls let you add fade-out or blur to make your reflection look sharp or diffuse.

For more information, visit Toolfarm's Plug-in Finder

Why Buy

  • Easy-to-use Shadow tool offers quality and features found nowhere else
  • Advanced Corner Pin features delivers the best tracking integration in any host
  • Reflection makes it a snap to add a simple mirror reflection to type or logos


Pricing and Availability

Red Giant Warp is available now for $199 USD and supports After Effects CS3/CS4, Premiere Pro CS3/CS4, Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Avid AVX 2 systems.
