The Academy Award-winning Mocha planar tracking and masking engine is now integrated directly inside Sapphire effects allowing artists and editors to do more advanced effects work without ever leaving their composition or timeline. Available for Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere, Avid Media Composer, Autodesk Flame, Blackmagic Resolve Studio, and Nuke by The Foundry, Sapphire 11 adds new and exciting functionality never before seen in the long and storied history of the award-winning VFX plug-ins.
With Mocha’s legendary toolset of award-winning masking and tracking tools available right within Sapphire, editors and artist no longer need to navigate the cumbersome and unintuitive workflows provided by editing and compositing applications. Utilize the power of planar tracking when building effects and focus more time on creating rather than key framing.
SIMPLIFY TASKS SUCH AS BLURRING FACES, ISOLATING FILTERS & GRADING FOOTAGE
With Sapphire 11, creating a complex effect like blurring a face or logo, tracking a lens flare to a hotspot, or performing selective color correction is simplified down to one simple and easy step. Once you start working with Sapphire 11 and integrated mocha planar tracking, you will wonder how you ever lived without it.
UNLIMITED MASK LAYERS FOR SIMPLE EFFECT ISOLATION TO FULL BLOWN ROTOSCOPING
The integration of Mocha inside of Sapphire is an extremely powerful and deep application. Simple isolation of effects is possible, all the way up to multi-layered rotoscoping.
CREATE CROSS-PLATFORM PRESETS THAT FEATURE ANIMATING MOCHA MASKS
Continuing the longstanding tradition of Sapphire presets being cross-host compatible, Sapphire 11 adds mocha masks saved with effect presets to this capability. Any preset that utilizes a mocha mask can be saved and re-opened with an identical look in any of our supported host applications. This is especially useful in offline to online workflows, i.e. Avid Media Composer / Adobe Premiere to Davinci Resolve.
