Fresh off winning a prestigious 2018 Advanced Imaging Society (AIS) Technology Award, Mocha VR, developed by Boris FX, now offers stereoscopic 3D enabled post-production tools for 360/VR video creators. The Mocha VR point release (5.6) adds a powerful new workflow to the groundbreaking plug-in bringing stereo-optimized planar tracking, masking, horizon stabilization, and object removal tools to Adobe(R) Premiere Pro(R) CC and Adobe After Effects(R) CC, key tools within Adobe Creative Cloud(R).
Boston, Massachusetts - Fresh off winning a prestigious 2018 Advanced Imaging Society (AIS) Technology Award, Mocha VR, developed by Boris FX, now offers stereoscopic 3D enabled post-production tools for 360/VR video creators. The Mocha VR point release (5.6) adds a powerful new workflow to the groundbreaking plug-in bringing stereo-optimized planar tracking, masking, horizon stabilization, and object removal tools to Adobe(R) Premiere Pro(R) CC and Adobe After Effects(R) CC, key tools within Adobe Creative Cloud(R).
Mocha VR 5.6 is a free update for owners of the multi-award winning plug-in. The new stereo 3D workflow supports most common 360° formats, including top/bottom, side-by-side, and dual stream, and also includes improvements to the Reorient Module for advanced image stabilization to reduce VR motion sickness. Watch the quick look at the Boris FX website.
"Many VR creatives now want to work in stereo 3D to deliver more immersive video experiences. However, working in these new formats is inherently difficult and time consuming for post-production," states Ross Shain, Chief Product Officer, Boris FX. "The new Mocha VR 5.6 stereo workflow uses planar tracking analysis on "both eye views" to solve camera disparity and simplify advanced post tasks such as camera rig removal or stabilizing shaky footage." Shain continues, "Adobe users can apply Mocha VR as an effect to track, mask or clean up directly on stitched mono or stereo 360° footage with reduced manual keyframing for efficiency and time savings."
Since its release last year, Mocha VR has been adopted by some of the biggest names in the growing immersive video industry, including: The NY Times VR, Felix & Paul, Ryot, Digital Domain, Here Be Dragons, Light Sail VR, and more.
"No one ever said VR was easy. But with specialized tools like Mocha VR, it gets easier with every update. We're shooting more stereo projects with cameras like the GoPro Odyssey and Kandao Obsidian, so having tools to make tasks like roto and insertions for stereo footage easier is great," says Matthew Celia, Light Sail VR, Managing Partner and Creative Director. "I am excited to see how Mocha's Academy Award-winning tracker has been implemented to track both eyes and place graphic inserts in the correct 3D space. It's going to be a huge timesaver for our After Effects based workflow."
"Editors and artists using Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects can enrich and extend their 360/VR toolset with Mocha VR," says Chris Bobotis, Director of Immersive at Adobe. "Mocha VR is a welcome addition to our Immersive toolset."
Mocha VR is available as a plug-in for Adobe's immersive workflows. Purchasing options include: full license ($995), annual subscription ($295), and upgrade from Mocha Pro 5 ($295). For more information, please visit: www.borisfx.com.

The Distance App Launches Innovative App for Brain Charity

The Distance App Launches Innovative App for Brain Charity - Published on 02/08/18
The Distance App Developers and Encephalitis Society join forces to launch the innovate BrainWalk App in support of World Encephalitis Day 2018. The app's main purpose is to track the steps of all users: steps can be accrued by walking and playing games (allowing those who may be suffering from the disease to contribute). Together, all users combine their steps so that they can walk "around the world" before World Encephalitis Day on February 22, 2018.
York, United Kingdom - Two companies from Yorkshire were recently invited to the House of Commons to launch an app which aims to raise awareness of encephalitis, a virus which causes inflammation of the brain.
The Encephalitis Society are a registered charity based in Malton, whilst The Distance are one of the UK's leading app developers, residing in York, North Yorkshire.
The event took place in The House of Commons, welcoming special guests such as Iain Duncan Smith and charity ambassador Rebecca Adlington, with the intention of educating people about the potentially deadly disease due to a huge percentage of individuals being unaware of the nature of encephalitis.
CEO of the charity, Dr Ava Easton, is constantly battling for awareness of the condition, quoting, "eight out of ten people don't know what encephalitis is."
The innovative app has been shared across a number of social media platforms by users from all corners of the globe, including Argentina, New Zealand and India, by use of hashtags #BrainWalk and #WorldEncephalitisDay.
