09b Basics of Roto - Adding Detail [Mocha Essentials]

As the project gets bigger, the need for organization gets greater. We begin to group tracks, completed and in progress masks into separate folders. We also learn about how to use those folders to manage and streamline our workflow.
The other focus of this exercise is to start exploring the other shape tools Mocha has available. And core animation techniques for getting great results with the fewest number of keyframes.
Your roto skills will be improving at the end of this exercise, and you will have a better understanding of how to work with multiple layers.

Thank you

[@alancarroll835]

Very helpful thank you Ben 👌

[@mj_nooker]

Thank you! Very helpful techniques and so magic hotkeys to skew the transformbox. I'm using mostly all the main hotkeys and tools, but was dreaming about the skew possibility of the transformbox - now I'm happy enough! :) PS: but now I'm dreaming about possibility of existence of the transform box on the Powermesh to rotate the bunch of its points instead shifting each of them :)

[@borisfxlearn]

If you want to move a ton of PowerMesh points around, use the brush selection tool. A great addition for manipulating meshes.

I was working to stabilize a hyper lapse clip I took of Dubai Frame, nothing worked because of the angle it was shot from. will try this roto technique might work with the stabilizer module.

These videos are amazing, thank you Ben!

[@borisfxlearn]

Happy you're working through them. Thanks for your comments on the videos. They are appreciated.

[@rahuldeshpande3516]

@@borisfxlearn Yeah!

[@MahckMedia]

Awesome! Will mocha work with Ae CC 2015? Thanks

[@borisfxlearn]

We haven't tested the latest version of Mocha Pro with that version of AE. We generally only test to the last few versions of a host. But it _should_ work fine back to CC 2015. If you are in any doubt, please take advantage of the free trial to make sure that it fits your workflow before purchasing.

Great borris fx about rotoscoping please how to add feather and motion blur also seeing alpha in mocha?? Sir hi sir myself Rony an VFX student from India

[@borisfxlearn]

Thanks, Rony. Motion blur is covered in Exercise 11 of this series. To see the matte of the current layer, use the dropdown menu at the top of the viewer. It probably says "Selected Layer" for you. And you'll want to turn it back to Selected Layer afterwards.
