What's new in mocha Pro 7.5.1 Build 127
Aug 14, 2020
- New features in Mocha Pro 2020 v7.5.1:
- Updated FBX Exports: Camera solver exports have been updated to version 7.7.0. This also means they can be exported to recent versions of Blender.
- Timecode Offset: The Mocha plugin can show timecode offsets from After Effects
- Recent Files Removal: If a project in “recent files” does not exist, you have the option to remove it from the list.
- OpenCL Device indexing: Multiple GPUs or CPUs capable of OpenCL operations are now numbered to make it easier to identify and select from the OpenCL device drop down.
New in mocha Pro 7.5.0 Build 1274 (Apr 21, 2020)
- Better wide-perspective track handling: Now you can track longer and at further angles without getting distorted track planes or flipped mattes.
- Flame Gmask Tracer Support: Mocha now exports Gmask tracer nodes with axis transforms. Tracking data is converted to 3d Axis nodes.
- Improved Motion Blur performance: Motion blur in mattes now renders up to 4x faster.
- Area brush size mouse controls: You can now adjust the size of the Area Brush by holding down the CMD or Ctrl key and dragging the mouse.
- Area Brush Fill Gaps: We now have a new field in the area brush toolbar to help fill gaps based on a threshold.
- Multi-point drag edge-snap: Drag-snapping now snaps the entire selection, rather than individual points
- Avid interlaced support: We now support tracking and rendering back interlaced footage in Media Composer.
- OCIO support: Mocha has new expansive OCIO settings for managing colorspaces in Mocha.
- GStreamer Media Support: Imported clips can now be handled by GStreamer instead of QuickTime. Not all media types are supported at this stage.
- Pan/Zoom Matching: Rendered clips the same size as the original source clip will now match panning and zooming on other clips so everything lines up
- Original frame render view: You can now view the source frame if a module has not rendered the current frame
- macOS Catalina support: Mocha is now supported on macOS Catalina.
- Remove Render performance increases for some codecs: Some codecs provide higher decoding performance when the frames are accessed sequentially. We’ve now changed the order of frame requests in the Remove Render to utilize this property.
- Thread-limiter: You can now adjust the number of threads per thread pool in preferences. This is important for restricting machines that try to utilise too many cores which can cause Mocha to crash.
- Clean plate folders: When saving a clean plate the last used folder is used as the destination.
- Tablet Pressure: Tablet pressure sensitivity can be disabled via preferences

- Magnetic Spline Tool with edge snapping
- Freehand Spline for fluid drawing
- New Ellipse and Rectangle Shapes
- Don’t paint yourself into a corner, these masking tools are vector splines for continuous editing capabilities and speed on high-resolution projects.
- NEW MOCHA ESSENTIALS INTERFACE:
- The updated interface makes Mocha easier to learn than ever before and looks great on hi-res and retina enabled monitors!
- The Mocha Essentials Workspace brings the power of Mocha to novice level users with a simplified, elegant, and easy-to-learn interface.
- Tracking & masking is now faster by reducing complexity and focusing the Mocha interface on the most essential icons and tools. Switch to Classic for advanced modules and customize workspaces for flexibility.
- NEW GPU ACCELERATED OBJECT REMOVAL:
- Mocha’s amazing Remove Module has been rewritten to optimize GPU video hardware for up to 4-5x render speed improvements on removals and clean plating projects. For high-resolution 4K projects and 360/VR video resolutions, the resulting speed improvement is a massive time-saver. View our speed test!
- Fix it in post! The Remove Module is one of the most popular reasons After Effects artists upgrade from the Adobe bundled Mocha AE CC. It’s like Content Aware on steroids!
