The new mocha Pro version 5adds GPU-accelerated planar tracking for speed increases and the ability to run as a plug-in within host applications such as Adobe Premiere Pro CC, After Effects CC, and Avid Media Composer with OFX support for The Foundry's NUKE and Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve coming soon.

The mocha Pro 5 release focuses on core improvements for speed and accessibility, says Ross Shain, CMO of Boris FX and Imagineer Systems. We've updated the mochaplanar tracking algorithm to take advantage of OpenCL video processing. The resulting speed increases on high resolution and 4K projects have been tremendous. Shain continues, mochahas long been recognized as an essential tool in the visual effects workflow; consequently Avid and Adobe editors have been asking for mochasupport for years. Imagineer engineers collaborated closely with the team at parent company Boris FX to develop mocha Prointo a plug-in. Now the plug-in option runs directly inside Media Composer, Premiere Pro, and After Effects without any import/export required. Feedback from the professional editing community has been super positive.
Boris FX has a long heritage of creating high-quality plugins for Avid Media Composer, says Kate Ketcham, product manager, Avid. Their collaboration with Imagineer Systems on a mocha ProAVX plug-in enables editors to access mocha's unique planar tracking and object removal features without leaving the timeline for faster, more efficient finishing workflows.

Early beta testers are already giving mocha Pro 5glowing reviews. Yoram Tal, a colorist & online editor on hit TV shows such as ABC's Dancing with the Starsand upcomingAmerican Griton FOX proclaims, The mocha Pro 5 plug-in is exactly what I have been asking for. As a finishing artist, I am tasked with difficult corrections and fixes, so the ability to run mochaas an Avid Media Composer plug-in gives me a huge time-saving benefit. Also, the GPU planar tracker speed increase helps me get shots done quicker. Together, the new mocha Proplug-in and the recent incorporation of mochatechnology into Boris Continuum 10 plug-ins are probably the most significant effects tool advancements in recent Media Composer history.
