Title: 00 - Introduction to Mocha Essentials
Runtime: 4:24
Description:

The course is broken up into four sections.

First the basics of Mocha; why to use Mocha in the first place, how to navigate the interface, and a quick start into typical workflows. Relevant for all users regardless of where they are using Mocha eg Mocha AE, Mocha Pro or even the built-in Mocha in Continuum and Sapphire video filters.

Secondly we explore motion tracking, what it is, how we create motion tracked data and most importantly how you can use that data to do a variety of different tasks.

In the third part, we focus on rotoscoping, the process of creating and animating shapes on our footage. This is a deep look at Mocha's toolset, structured so you can quickly get just the basics, or stay for the complete experience.

The final part focuses on Pro features found only in Mocha Pro. These include PowerMesh for creating warp stabilizations and inserts, and helping roto work with Spline Warp. How to “art direct” your stabilizations using the Stabilize module. Object removal and extensions with the Remove & Megaplate modules. Plus the importance of Lens calibrated works for some common tasks.
