Visual Effects and Rotoscoping

For Adobe’s CS4, the much talked about Mocha, a stand-alone rotoscoping software, is now integrated in After Effects Bundle. Basically Mocha makes motion tracking easier, using plannar tracking system, rather than use AE’s tracking tool.

Below are a few video tutorials for exploring MochaAE:

• After Effects CS4 Mocha by Richard Harrington shows the basics, perhaps more succinctly than Morning After Effects on Adobe TV.

• Imagineer Mocha Perspective Corner Pin Effect by Aharon Rabinowitz on Creative Cow (which also has an Imagineer Forum).

• Imagineer has several more tutorials for Mocha for After Effects.
