Description

Mocha-AE; a standalone tracking tool based on Imagineer’s unique 2.5 D planar tracking system. Designed as a cost-effective tracking solution for the After Effects community, mocha-AE affords you the ability to generate solid 2D tracks, even on the most difficult shots, while saving both time and money.

mocha-AE is custom designed and priced for the After Effects community, this stand alone 2D tracking tool packed with features that make the effects compositors life easier. Now compositors can avoid the guess work and inaccuracies that result from hand tracking challenging shots, speeding up the process of generating solid 4-point tracks, giving position, scale, rotation, shear and perspective matched tracks and exporting the data to Adobe After Effects. Version 5,6,7 and CS3.

Based on Imagineers unique 2.5D Planar Tracking technology, mocha-AE helps solve problematic shots that traditionally break point based trackers, such as footage with objects moving out of frame, lack of detail, motion blur and heavy grain. mocha-AE’s innovative AdjustTrack tool helps remove drift and enables the compositor to extract offset tracking data for areas that go off screen.

mocha-AE allows tracking to be completed in less time, with higher accuracy, giving you an unfair advantage versus your competitors!

What are the differences between mocha (full version) and mocha AE?

This first version of mocha AE is just the tracking station. Those exports include both corner pin data for tracking and translation data for stabilizing shots. It does not support the rotoscoping functions of the full version.

Mocha AE does not export all the image types that the full version of mocha supports. This V1.0 version will just be a tracking station.

Imagineer hopes to support the exporting of shape data directly into AE in future versions, but it is not included in mocha AE v1.

Billy G. Woody, VP Sales for Imagineer Systems says, "It is a difficult process to create a product that is in the right price range for the After Effects user that also does not step on the toes of the more expensive big brother Mocha. But rest assured, the majoroty of us here have all been freelance VFX arists so we are all well aware of the demands and needs of the artist, especially the independent one. The software will continue to grow and will continue to have more direct conecton and functionality with After Effects."
