Introduction
These release notes accompany Mocha Pro 2024 v11.0.0.

This is a maintenance release with several defect fixes. Release notes cover
Mocha Pro, for both standalone and Plug-In versions of the product.

Documentation is available inside Mocha Pro 2024 v11.0.0 by pressing the F1 key.

Build notes
Please read the following notes carefully as they may affect efficient use of the
product.

OFX builds of the Mocha Pro Plug-In have been tested to work with
Autodesk Flame 2020+, The Foundry Nuke, Blackmagic Fusion
Studio, HitFilm Pro, Vegas Pro and Silhouette v6+.
Other hosts that utilize OFX may operate the Mocha Pro OFX Plug-
 In correctly, but at this stage they are unofficially supported and
may experience problems.
While Mocha will work in Blackmagic Resolve 16+, rendering can be
slow.

Projects created before version v9.5.5 may not be compatible if


 you have keyframed with Classic AdjustTrack. This is due to fixes
to the keyframing system in Classic.

Projects created with version 2024 v11.0.0 may not be backwards


 compatible with earlier versions of Mocha.

technology

• Use Mocha Tracking for 3D Solves: Optionally use Mocha Planar tracking and
PowerMesh to assist difficult solves

• Roto out problems: Use Mocha masking to eliminate problem areas that throw
off your Camera solves

• 3D Meshes: Convert Mocha PowerMeshes to projected static 3D Meshes in


the scene

• New 3D Viewer: See solved results directly in Mocha without exporting

• Camera and scene controls: Modify the solved results to fit your project

• USD Import: Import 3D models to visualise draft results overlaid on your scene

• More flexible 3D Export: Export USD and FBX to supported systems. Export
nulls to After Effects.

• SynthEyes Export: Export the solved results to SynthEyes for detailed 3D


match-moving.

See The Camera Solve Module for more details.

Track and Roto Tools


• Skip Frames: Skip over problem frames using the skip function

• Step Frames: Set a track step for stop motion animation

• Hold keyframes: Set linear or constant keyframes for more control over
stepped motion

• Extrapolate Track: Predict motion in future problem frames by extrapolating

3
from previous frames

• Zoom to Selected: New option to zoom to fit selected splines in view

Performance Improvements

Issue: MO-8900 Attaching Mocha Pro node to a corner pin in Nuke


immediately crashes
Platform: All Platforms
Product: All Products
Bug Description: Attaching a corner pin node to a Mocha Pro OFX node will
crash Nuke.

56
Workaround: 1. Execute any processing used in the OFX node:
When using a Mocha Pro node, saving and executing any
changes within the Plug-In appears to stop the crashes. So
using the node and editing the CornerPin before executing
the saved changes crashes Nuke.

2. Place a processing node in-between the OFX & CornerPin


nodes:
Adding a processing node in-between the two nodes (e.g.
Blur) works around the issue, as the transformation
information is processed before being passed through the
CornerPin node. For example, having
Mocha→Blur→CornerPin stops the process loop from
crashing.
