Imagineer Systems recently released Mocha VR, visual effects and post production on Cinematic VR and 360 authoring.
Mocha VR a new plug-in bringing high-end visual effects workflows to 360°/VR filmmakers. Based on Imagineer’s Academy Award-winning planar tracking algorithm, Mocha VR features native 360 optimized effects tools designed to simplify cinematic VR post challenges.
Mocha VR: Intro to 360°/VR Plug-In
As a plug-in, Mocha VR currently supports Adobe After Effects CC, Adobe Premiere Pro CC, Avid Media Composer, Nuke and Fusion. As a standalone application that can render video files, Mocha VR can work with almost any editing and effects software including FCPX, Autodesk Flame/Smoke, DaVinci Resolve and many more.
Mocha VR: 360° Roto & Masking Tools
360° Object Removal
Remove Camera Rigs, Shadows and Unwanted Pixels
Mocha’s famous Remove Module now works on 360° video by analyzing temporal frames and “automatically removing” unwanted camera rigs, shadows, crew members and more for massive time-savings. Clean Plates can be linked for removing when clean pixels are not detected in the shot. Illumination filtering analyzes luminance shifts for proper lighting and scene compositing.
Mocha VR brings native 360°post-production tools to cinematic VR filmmaking. This short video covers the workflow for roto and masking on 360/VR video footage.
Masks can be rendered back to the host application for isolated color correction and many effects tasks. Animated masks can also be converted to native masks in Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, Nuke & Fusion.
360° Planar Motion Tracking (based on mocha’s Academy Award-Winning algorithm)
Advanced 360° Masking Tools
Automatic Object Removal for Camera Removals and Nadir Patching
Horizon Stabilizer and Reorient Module
Plug-in option for Adobe, Avid and OFX (Nuke, Fusion & more)
Available as a standalone application and as a plug-in for :
Adobe Premiere Pro CC, After Effects CC
Avid Media Composer
OFX hosts: The Foundry’s Nuke and Blackmagic Design Fusion
Mocha VR: 360°VR Video Post-Production
Horizon Stabilization & Reorient
Reduce Shakey Motion for Improved VR Viewing
Designed to reduce unstable motion, the new Reorient Module can drastically improve nausea-inducing VR experiences by smoothing or stabilizing shaky, handheld and drone captured footage. Driven by robust planar tracking, a user can even track and stabilize difficult and “out of focus” footage. Reorient on its own can be used to reposition equirectangular footage.
Lens Workflow for 360° Compositing
Convert Lat/Long to 360 to Add Effects & Graphics
A plug-in based lens correction workflow converts between lat/long and rectilinear for a streamlined workflow to add titles, graphics, patches and non-360 enabled filters to your 360 project. Undistort footage and position the view, add 2D elements, then redistort for an easy to master workflow.
Now shipping. Mocha VR is a groundbreaking new plug-in bringing high-end VFX workflows to 360°/VR filmmakers.
Based on Imagineer’s Academy Award-winning planar tracking algorithm, Mocha VR brings native 360° optimized motion tracking, masking, object removal and stabilization tools to Adobe Premiere Pro CC, After Effects CC, Avid Media Composer, and OFX hosts (such as The Foundry’s Nuke and Blackmagic Design Fusion).
