What’s New
mocha for After Effects CS5
Real-world projects typically require motion tracking, and many shots present tracking challenges 
such as elements that go partially out of frame or include motion blur. mocha for After Effects CS5—an 
updated version of the software included with After Effects CS5—has a unique planar tracker that 
makes it easy to handle even the most difficult tracking and stabilization tasks. Also included in 
this release is the mocha shape plug-in, which enables you to use tracking data in new ways. 
stabilization tasks. (mocha for After Effects CS5 and mocha shape have user interfaces that are 
English only.)
This updated release of mocha includes the ability to apply motion tracking to hand-drawn masks, 
which is a significant time-saver. In addition, motion-blurred or semitransparent areas are easily 
handled with new support for varible-width mask feathers. And like After Effects CS5, mocha for 
After Effects CS5 is a native 64-bit application.
Included for the first time in After Effects CS5, the mocha shape plug-in enables you to copy and 
paste multiple motion-tracked masks from mocha to any After Effects layer, fully preserving all 
their qualities, including any variable-width mask feather settings. This is particularly useful for 
shots that contain camera movements or moving objects that require masking. 
One of the other new features you will find useful is that Bezier or X-spline animated roto shapes 
created in mocha may be converted into mask shapes in After Effects, where they can be further 
refined and manipulated without requiring a trip back into mocha. Also with mocha for After 
Effects CS5, motion blur data is now included in the exported tracking data. This enables you  
to re-create the motion blur that occurred in the original footage.
You can outline and track complex objects in mocha for After Effects CS5 (top), export the tracked shapes, and apply them  
to your footage using the mocha shape effect in After Effects CS5 (above). Motion blur and variable-width per-point mask 
feathering are maintained to help create the more realistic composites.
