Boris FX has acquired Imagineer Systems the makers of Mocha

Boris FX has purchased Imagineer Systems Mocha as of December 15th. Check out the FAQ at Boris’s web site for questions.

It sounds like the company will remain intact, and they will continue to bundle Mocha with After Effects. Lets hope this makes full versions of Mocha cheaper, as it is such a powerful tool for planar tracking. I have used Boris in the past, but it is the one suite I mostly stay away from, so I hope they don’t ruin Mocha, or force it into a Boris only route in the future.

I use Mohca all the time when you just can’t get a corner track, and though it is complicated, it does work so very well, so lets hope it stays as it is and just gets better from this integration and not get worse or go away.

Imagineer Systems has posted a new almost hour and a half video on learning Mocha AE. This program has a steep learning curve, but it’s planar tracking is so good that it is really worth learning. Especially because it can track things that lose parts of them out of frame and still get a good lock.

And you can get several higher end versions of the program as well.

Impressive stuff. This is a great program, though with a decent learning curve. Worth learning though as it does a fantastic job!

New Features of Mocha AE Included with next After Effects

Todd Kopriva has posted a list of new features of the included Mocha with the new version of After Effects.

This is already one of the most powerful 3D motion trackers around, but any additional features to make it a little more accessible are a great idea.

It of course sounds better. Wonder what the upgraded AE version will include? And with their technology now included in CoreMelt SliceX, they are getting even bigger.
