New Features Guide Streamlined Interface We have changed a number of things in the mocha interface to streamline workflow. 1

2 Retina Support We are converting the interface over to full Retina support for OS X. This will result in a crisper look for those on recent Apple systems. Icon and Button Changes We have consolidated a number of icons into single buttons to reduce interface clutter: New Buttons: Buttons have been given an overhaul to reduce clutter. View Control Buttons: The majority of View Control buttons have dropped the arrow in favour of the click and hold action. Workflow changes New Project-Based Structure Previously all projects were based off the initial clip you imported, which made it harder to import other clips or modify existing settings. The new project structure has the Project Settings dialog which allows you to modify the project independently from the 2

3 clips you import. This means you can now open a project file to view layer content without needing to relink footage. Stereo Workflow A major change to mocha s workflow is being able to choose between working on mono or stereo projects. You can now import stereo views and track, render and export back to stereo. Setting Up a New Project For Multiple Views When you start a New Project (CMD/Ctrl+N), you are now presented with the option of creating a multiview project in the Views tab. 3

4 If you check Multiview project you are then presented with the view names and their abbreviated names. You can add additional footage streams to the clip by clicking the plus icon under the clip chooser. The second clip will automatically map to the second view for Stereo. You can import addtional footage streams in the Clip tab later. 4

5 The abbreviated name is used in the interface for the view buttons, but is also used as the suffix for renders. You can also choose the hero view. By default this is the left. Defining a hero eye determines the tracking and roto order for working in the views. If you forget to set up Multiview when you start a new project, you can set it in the new Project Settings Dialog from the File menu. Once you are in Multiview mode, you will see a coloured border around the viewer based on the current view you are in. This is to help artists to identify which view they are currently in without having to refer to the buttons You can switch between Views by pressing the corresponding L R buttons in the view controls, or using the default 1 and 2 keys on the keyboard. Clips, The Clip Tab and Footage Stream Workflow The Clip tab has had an overhaul to accomodate handling multiple footage streams in a single mocha clip. Clips now by default are in two parts: The container clip and a stream clip. Clips can contain any number of footage streams, which you can then map to a view. If you are dealing with multi-channel clips such as EXR files, these load automatically into the stream drop down. If you are working with individual views (TIF, DPX, JPG etc), you can import the additional footage streams using the import dialog under the streams dropdown. 5

6 Viewing in Stereo You can preview your work at any time by turning on the 3D button in the view controls. Clicking and holding on the 3D button will give you a range of stereo view options. Stereo 3D View Options Interlaced: Each view is show on every other line in fields Active: If you have an active shutter monitor available, you can view in this mode (Note: Only tested on Windows) Anaglyph: Probably the most common mode to view stereo work through. You can choose from Red/Cyan or Green/Magenta Difference: A difference mode of the views laid over each other. This view also has additional functionality explained below Working with Difference Mode and Stereo Offsets If you need to offset your tracking or roto manually (see below), you can use the Difference 3D view to help align the layer. To align using Difference Mode: 1. Select the layer you want to align 6

7 2. Turn on Difference mode. 3. Go to the Stereo tab in the Track module 4. Select your Non-Hero View. 5. Offset X and Y until the screen gets as close to blank middle grey as possible. You can optionally also adjust the other Stereo parameters. 6. Turn off Difference view and review your results on your Non-Hero view. 7

8 8

9 Stereo Tracking Tracking in Stereo is very similar to tracking in Mono. In fact we ve designed it specifically to be as transparent as possible to those used to the standard Mono workflow. To track a stereo clip automatically: 1. Select your hero view (By default this is the Left view) 2. Draw your shape as you would normally in mono mode (See mocha User Guide for an introduction to mono mocha tracking techniques) 3. Press the "Operate in all views" button on the right side of the tracking buttons. It will turn orange. 4. Select your tracking parameters as normal 5. Track forwards (and/or backwards if required). If you now switch between Left and Right views you will see the Right view has automatically been tracked and offset from the Left view. If you would prefer to only track and work with the Hero view initially then offset your data manually, you can also do this using the Stereo Offset tab in Track. To track and manually offset a view: 1. Select your hero view (By default this is the Left view) 2. Draw your shape as you would normally in mono mode (See mocha User Guide for an introduction to mono mocha tracking techniques) 3. Make sure the "Track in all views" button on the right side of the tracking buttons is switched off. 4. Select your tracking parameters as normal 9

10 5. Track forwards (and/or backwards if required). This will only track the current view you are on. If you switch to the other view you will see the layer still moves with the track, but is not offset like when you do an all-views track. You can then use the Stereo Offset parameters in the Track module to offset your view. If you decide later that you want to track the non-hero view, you can do so by selecting the non-tracked view and checking "Track from other views", then track as normal. This will reference the existing track and then offset the curent view. This means you can also open existing mono projects that have additional views and track them without having to manually offset. Exporting Stereo Tracking Data Exporting stereo Track data from mocha is the same as exporting in mono mode, however now you can choose the view you want to export. To export stereo tracking data from mocha: 1. Select a layer 2. Click "Export Tracking Data " from the Track module or choose the option from the file menu (File Export Tracking Data ) 10

11 3. Select the Application you wish to export to 4. Select the view you want to export (or check "Export all views" if it is available for that export format) 5. Choose whether you want to export the currently selected layer, all visible layers or all layers 6. Click "Copy to Clipboard" or "Save" depending on your preference. Note that some exports only allow you to save the data. Stereo Rotoscoping Stereo Roto works in a very similar fashion to stereo tracking. To roto an object in stereo with tracking: 1. Select the hero view (by default this is Left) 2. Draw a new basic shape and track the object you want to rotoscope as outlined above in "Stereo Tracking" 3. Draw a new refined roto layer around your tracked object 4. Click the "Link to track" drop down in Layer Properties and choose the previously tracked layer 5. Continue to refine the Hero view roto until you are happy with that view 6. Switch to the non-hero view and begin refining this view. When you switch to the non-hero view the rotoscoping will be offset by the tracking data. While this will not completely refine the result, it will save you a lot of time. Whenever you manipulate a control point in the Hero view it will offset that control point in the non-hero view. 11

12 When you start to tweak the non-hero view it will also generate new keyframes for that view only and will not affect the Hero view. You can see these keyframes represented in the timeline by split left and right keys. If you wish to directly modify the control point in both views when working in either view, you can turn on the "Apply Keyframe Changes to All Views" button at the very end of the timeline controls to the right. If you insert additional points to a shape while in the non-hero view, they will be automatically deactivated in the Hero view to avoid destroying the work done in the Hero view. You can reactivate these points in the Hero view by right clicking them and choosing "Point > Activate" Exporting Stereo Shape Data Exporting stereo Shape data from mocha is the same as exporting in mono mode, however now you can choose the view you want to export. To export stereo Shape data from mocha: 1. Select a layer 2. Click "Export Shape Data " from the Track module or choose the option from the file menu (File Export Shape Data ) 3. Select the Application you wish to export to 4. Select the view you want to export (or check "Export all views" if it is available for that export format) 5. Choose whether you want to export the currently selected layer, all visible layers or all layers 6. Click "Copy to Clipboard" or "Save" depending on your preference. Note that some exports only allow you to save the data. 12

13 Nuke Roto exported as "Export All Views" will paste to Nuke as a combined roto node. If you would prefer the nodes to be separate, export using the different views instead of checking the all views option. Stereo Remove Stereo Remove works in exactly the same way as Mono Remove, with the additional bonus of being able to render both views at the same time and also choosing whether or not each view assists the other view during the remove process. To render a remove in stereo: 1. Track the background in both views with a layer as outlined in "Stereo Tracking" above 2. Mask out and animate the foreground object you want to remove. You will need to check to make sure the object is correctly covered by the layer in both views. 3. Make sure the foreground layer is above the background layer in the layer controls. 4. Adjust your remove parameters (See the full User Guide for details on Remove parameters) 5. If it is not already on, press the "Operate in all views" button on the right side of the render buttons. It will turn orange. 6. Click the render button 13

14 By default "Prefer Same View" is checked on in the search range section of the Remove tab. This will attempt to use the current view rather than both views to perform the remove. If you have useful information in the other view that may assist the remove, you can uncheck this option. Exporting Stereo Rendered Shapes and Clips Additions to the render dialog allow you to render to single footage streams or a combined stream via EXR. To export a rendered clip: 1. Go to File Export Rendered Clips 2. Choose the clip you want to export in the top drop down. By default it chooses the last render. 3. Select your frame range you want to export. This defaults to the In/Out range. 4. Under "Export Views" select the render option you want: a. Current Only: Renders the current view you have selected. b. To single footage stream: Renders all views to a single file. You are limited to rendering to EXR or SXR. c. To separate footage streams: Renders the views as individual sequences. 5. Then choose your file path and render format. 14

15 To export a rendered shape: 1. Go to File Export Rendered Shapes 2. Choose the mattes you want to export in the top radio buttons. a. Selected: The last selected layer. b. All Visible: Only the layers that have visibility turned on in the layer controls c. All: All layers except ones you have specifically deactivated. 3. Choose the Color Output: a. Grayscale: The default black and white mattes with feather. 15

16 b. By matte color: The same as Grayscale, only the mattes are colored according to what you defined each layer matte color to be in the Layer Controls. c. By layer ID: A special use case for those that want the mattes to be colored by their layer ID. 4. Under "Export Views" select the render option you want: a. Current Only: Renders the current view you have selected. b. To single stream: Renders all views to a single file. You are limited to rendering to EXR or SXR. c. To separare streams: Renders the views as individual sequences. 5. Then choose your file path and render format. 16

17 If you have chosen to render the current view or separate footage streams, the view abbreviation will be suffixed to the rendered export automatically, so there is no need to define this in the file name. Stereo Camera Solve Camera solves now also work with Multiview. Like with tracking, a stereo camera solve is designed to be as similar to the Mono process as possible. New additions to the camera solve for Stereo are: Providing the user the option of converged or parallel solves 17

18 Adjustment for vertical alignment Export of stereo FBX to Maya Export of individual views to other supported applications (AE, Nuke, etc) To solve a stereo camera: 1. Go to the Camera Solve module 2. Select the layers in the layer control panel you want to solve with. (See full documentation for more information) 3. Select the solve type, or choose "Auto" 4. Select your Focal length types 5. Tell mocha if this is a Parallel Stereo camera or a Converged Stereo camera 6. Check "Vertical Alignment" if you need to estimate vertical alignment for the shot 7. Click Solve You can then export out to left and right views, or for Standard FBX, you can export full Stereo cameras. The full stereo camera solve FBX presently works in Maya. All other exports can only be exported as a single camera view and the solved nulls. 18

19 New Export Formats In addition to exporting to Stereo format, we have added new export data formats. Tracking Data Export Changes: New Nuke 7 Tracker: In the past mocha only exported either the Corner Pin or the ascii tracking file formats. You can now export directly to the Tracker node instead. Adobe After Effects Transform Data: This version now no longer exports the anchor point data to reduce confusion about how to use the export. If you need to stabilise instead of matching motion, you can use the "invert" checkbox in the export dialog. Shape Data Export Changes: New Adobe Premiere Pro CC Mask format: You can now export and paste to Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 New Nuke v6.2+ RotoPaint [Transform & Shape]: RotoPaint now exports with separate key frames for Tracking and Roto, like the Roto export does Nuke RotoPaint [Basic]: The is the same export as we had previously with combined tracking and roto keys into one file. We have renamed it to make a clear distinction from the other export. 19

20 New Nuke Roto [Basic]: We have reintroduced Nuke Roto export with combined tracking and roto keys into one file. This is to support those on versions of Nuke below 6.2. Nuke v6.2+ Roto [Transform & Shape]: The same Nuke 6.2 Roto as we had previously. We have renamed it to make a clear distinction from the other export. Exporting Adobe Premiere Pro CC Masks Exporting shapes to Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 is very similar to exporting shapes to After Effects 1. Select a shape and go to "Export Shape Data " 2. Choose Adobe Premiere shape data 3. Choose if you want to export the selected layer, all visible layers or all layers 4. Copy to the Clipboard Importing is just as straightforward: 1. In Adobe Premiere Pro CC, select your clip on the timeline 2. In the Effects panel, click on Opacity 3. Paste the data using CMD/Ctrl + V or right-click and choose Paste 4. You can also apply the masks to most effects, by adding the effect to your clip, selecting the effect in the Effects panel and pasting. 20

21 Python Support We now support Python in mocha Pro via the mocha module. Python functionality will have its own separate documentation. On Windows, Python installs as a separate bundle in the mocha Pro installer. Make sure to select it when installing on Windows systems. By default, you can access the Python command tool via each OS in the following manner: OS X: /Applications/mochaPro.app/Contents/MacOS/python Windows: C:\Program Files\mocha Pro V4.0.0 Prerelease\python\python.exe Linux: /opt/isl/mochav4/python/bin/ Python is a mocha Pro V4.0.0 supported feature only. 21

22 Keyboard Shortcut Customisation You can now customise keyboard shortcuts for almost every tool, action and menu item in mocha Pro You can access the keyboard shortcut customisation dialog in two ways: 1. Directly, via File Keyboard Customize 2. By going to mocha Preferences and clicking the Key Shortcuts tab. You can create a new profile by duplicating a default profile, then customising the keys. Keyboard customisation is very simple: 1. Duplicate one of the default profiles and rename it 2. Select a category and choose an action you want to change or add a key sequence to 3. Click in the "Shortcut" column 4. Enter your key sequence 5. Click anywhere outside of the entry cell to complete 6. Click "Default" if you want to revert your change back to the default shortcut 22

23 Pressing return or delete/backspace counts as a key entry, so please click outside the cell to complete the entry and use the "Clear" button to clear an entry. Fixed Issues DE3042 An XSpline control point which is joined to a master point is keyframed at every frame when exported to Nuke Roto format Child control points joined to a master control point would export to Nuke with a keyframe on every frame rather than only at the set keyframes. DE3041 Slave point doesn t follow its master point when exported to Nuke Child control points joined to a master control point would drift when exported to Nuke. 23
