Mocha Pro becomes the second Boris FX application to receive AI-based rotoscoping features, following their introduction in Silhouette 2024 and 2024.5. The Object Brush feature, based on the Mask ML algorithm used in Silhouette, allows users to select objects in a single frame with just one click. The user clicks on the object they want to isolate, and the software automatically generates a mask for it. The selection can be refined by choosing additional parts of the image to include or exclude, or by using the existing "Area Brush" tool to paint areas manually. Once the boundaries are defined, Mocha converts the selected area into editable splines.
Additionally, users can distribute materials across the frame using the Matte Assist ML option in the new Matte module. It automatically tracks the object in the original frame throughout the footage, creating animated vector masks that match its changing contours. The edges of the masks can be contracted or expanded using built-in controls. In addition to creating material coverage, suggested use cases include creating offsets for foreground objects.
This release also expands the 3D tracking tools introduced in Mocha Pro 2024, integrating the core solver from SynthEyes, Boris FX’s 3D tracking software. Users can now solve for moving objects in 3D scenes, as well as for cameras. The solver works with both flat tracks and PowerMesh tracks, allowing for natural surface deformation. The workflow and performance have also been improved, including a new unified export dialog for tracking data. A complete list of changes can be found in the release notes.
