Review Summary
The Imagineer Systems Mocha AE V3 Nodelocked License can be activated and used alternately on two computers. Mocha AE v3 is a standalone rotoscoping software centered on an award-winning planar tracker. It exports to After Effects, Final Cut Pro 6 and 7, Motion 4 and 5, Boris FX BCC and HitFilm 2 Ultimate and it can also export to Media Composer, Vegas and Premiere via Boris FX BCC. Other than a rotoscoping tool, mocha AE v3 also features a lens calibration tool and a 3D camera solver.
The planar tracker, honored in 2013 with the Science & Engineering Academy Award, tracks planes instead of points and can track moving objects that move within a frame, that exit a frame, or that enter a frame. Planes are entire surfaces that you get to define by drawing simple splines around objects. These surfaces are large areas of pixel data that the tracker will follow precisely. Once you define a surface area, you can then apply rotoscoping based on it. Mocha features two spline types - x splines, generally better for tracking perspective motion and versatile, industry standard Bezier splines. Multiple splines of both types are applicable at the same time to ensure a continual and unobstructed track across multiple surfaces.
The planar tracker doesn't require any clearly outstanding details to stick to and can even track a completely white surface and it can track straight through motion blur without any disruption. Points, however, are limited to detail-full areas and are susceptible to being outsmarted by blurs. Other than tracking a moving object, the planar tracker can also track a stationary one in a moving shot, such as tracking text on a stationary store awning that a camera is dollying in on.
