Mocha / Mocha Pro / Mocha Ae Training

Mocha is a popular tracking and rotoscoping software, which ships with After Effects CS4, CS5 and CS5.5. Based on an innovative 2.5 D planar tracking system, Mocha helps visual effects artists solve complex tracking challenges. As a rotoscoping station, Mocha's ability to accurately track mask shapes saves hours of manual labour for articulate matte creation. Create & render mattes with less keyframes!

Course Outline
The introduction to Mocha is an in-depth look at 2.5D planar tracking and will show you from the ground up how to use Mocha to generate accurate tracks without relying on traditional tracking markers (feature tracking) and how to export that data into After Effects and other applications.

You’ll also learn a much easier way to perform rotoscoping including the use of the mocha Shape plug in for After Effects CS4 and above. The extensive practical exploration will also include working with alpha channels, embedded mattes, edge controls, off screen tracking, and removing objects.
