Mocha Pro 2021: Patching With PowerMesh

This new Mocha and AE tutorial shows how to reverse stabilize a warped surface to remove and fix objects. Martin Brennand uses PowerMesh tracking to create a "stabilized and warped plate" with Mocha Pro's stabilize module. This new image is then composited with Mocha Pro's insert module to patch and fix a rip in the pants.
Mocha Pro 2021 is now available for Adobe, Avid, and supported OFX hosts as well as a standalone application.

My jaw was literally on the floor during the whole video...this is sorcery...Y'all need jesus at Boris FX....INSANE!!!

[@BorisFXco]

Thanks for the comment. For the record, I would just like to say that not everyone at Boris FX is involved in the dark arts.

[@EvilDogFilmsOfficial]

@@BorisFXco Hahaha well keep it up with the rituals to the Ancient Ones cause this is amazing tech. Thank you

[@ianhollinhead5199]

Great work guys! Love your work! You guys should really include a download link to the footage you worked on in this video so that people watching this can also complete what you are teaching. If people can work along the video rather than just passively watch, it helps the brain to solidify the knowledge they are learning.

[@BorisFXco]

Thanks. We do try to offer a link to the footage whenever we can. Sometimes we just don't have a license for it. Here's something similar : www.pexels.com/video/hands-in-back-pockets-8183545/

Mocha is life saver!

[@BorisFXco]

Thanks for the kind comment. Hope you found it useful!

[@birdebunudeneyin2975]

Awesome, incredible. I watched every second of it carefully. My brain is on fire, my head is about to explode. The things that can be done with Mocha are endless. But I have a problem. I don't speak English and learning this plugin is twice as difficult for me :(

[@adanjproduction]

Thank you for this powerful tool. ❤️

[@BorisFXco]

Glad you like it!

Plot twist: The rip was also a comp.

Brilliant!

This is a great tutorial.For the fun fact I never thought,I would watch a tutorial patching a butt cheek but it is all about the techniques used,subject doesn't matter! Thanks for the tutorial.

[@BorisFXco]

I think we've all learned a lot from this tutorial. Not always the lessons we thought we'd learn 😂

You are very welcome 😊

[@renatosoares144]

is there any reason why my Insert only works in the first frame? When I push Render forward I get "Frame X not rendered in clip 'Composite_Input'. The mesh tracking seems fine..

[@BorisFXco]

You are probably looking at the Insert:Composite render in the viewer. At the top of the viewer change the dropdown to Selected Layer. Alternatively, you can render all the other frames using the play buttons with cogs on the them. This shows how the final composite is going to look with motion blur (if you have it enabled) etc.

Did I just spend 21 min looking at a butt?.. I wish all tuts were like this

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist :D Hope you learned something from the video!

Can you do a tutorial to add a COVID face mask to a character? Thanks!

[@BorisFXco]

Great idea. I will submit it to the list.

[@stevenkhenai7407]

Yoh... was working on COVID TV ads and some guy in a meeting was like.. can you make all the people in the scene wear masks instead of shooting the scene again?

How to used powermesh for after effects cs6.?

[@BorisFXco]

Mocha Pro 2021 does not support AE CS6.

[@mansa7745]

@@BorisFXco is there a plugin for AE CS6 to import powermesh data from mocha pro 2021.

[@BorisFXco]

Not as far as I know. Honestly, we haven't tested Mocha Pro with AE CS6 in a very long time. Many features may still work but we cannot offer support for any problems that users may run in to.

@@BorisFXco ok. Thanks.

I can't believe how I actually watched that much of that dude's ass with such focus and concentration on every second of the material. Great tutorial, anyways!

It's all just pixels when you think about it. Glad you found the tutorial useful.

@@BorisFXco that's exactly how I call actors, when they're to cocky! Bunch of pixels. Actually works em down.

[@spicy_burrito]

lmao love these comments 😂

[@Abdo.A]

A LOT of information

[@Abdo.A]

Why did we stabilized the left butt? Could not we just do everything without stabilizing it??

[@BorisFXco]

We need to have the left stabilized too, so we can put it over on the right side without it slipping. If we were using a still image it would work without any difficulties. But because we want to keep the natural lighting and grain, we have stabilized the left side so we can "unstabilize" it again on the right side. Hope that makes sense.

[@Abdo.A]

@@BorisFXco thanks for explaining but it doesn't 😔

[@BorisFXco]

Picture it this way. We have two objects that are moving in different ways; L & R. We want L to matchmove what R Is doing. So we track just R and tell L to follow. This doesn't look right still because L still has its original movement. So we stabilize L to take away it's own movement. Now when we link the stabilized/static L to R, we get the perfect matchmove.

[@Abdo.A]

@@BorisFXco Thanks very much!

[@nfrancisj2122]

Oh, this is on the computer. 😞 The search continues.

[@paulfrancis8836]

Sorry, ... the Rip isn't big enough !

[@funkiEst]

i think the first thing you should say before continue the tutorial is : male butt or female butt ? different approach ... just kidding, thanks for the powermesh !

[@FlyingBanana78]

You can pick your tutorials but you can't pick your butt.
