Boris FX & Imagineer Systems have announced mocha Pro 5 plug-in for OFX. mocha Pro’s visual effects software has been used on numerous high profile film and television projects including Game of Thrones, Star Wars:Episode IV and The Walking Dead. The new OFX plug-in capability now gives artists running The Foundry’s Nuke and Blackmagic Design’s Fusion Studio the added capability to launch mocha Pro directly from the host application for an efficient visual effects workflow.mocha Pro 5 plug-in for OFX is available on Windows, OS X and Linux operating systems.
“Compositors are loving the improvements found in the new mocha Pro plug-in,” said Ross Shain, CMO of Boris FX and Imagineer Systems. “We’ve updated the planar tracking algorithm to take advantage of OpenCL video processing and speed increases on high resolution projects are tremendous.”
“While mocha has played a role in VFX projects for years, the ability to now launch directly as an OFX host plug-in helps artists quickly access tools for advanced tracking, roto, object removal and image stabilization without the added hassle of managing multiple applications and projects,” added Shain. “Jumping back and forth between mocha and Nuke or Fusion has never been easier.” Imagineer’s partners and customers are also appreciating the new OFX plug-in.”

The compositor is the steward of the work we are entrusted with. That means getting the work out on time and on budget. Every one of our compositors uses mocha Pro to help make that happen.”
