  • DE3345 Removes are rendered incorrectly when switching to a different color space - All Platforms - A corrupted cache file could cause remove renders to access previously cached frames in a different color space
  • DE3343 Color space reverts back to previous setting on the next frame after changing to a different color space - All Platforms - A corrupted cache file could show the previous set color space in the viewer when moving the playhead.
  • DE3332 One-point Bezier spline is created when switching the corresponding tool after undoing changes of a Bezier spline point on the right view - All Platforms - A bezier spline was created if you undid a spline point then reselected the Bezier tool.
  • DE3326 Wrong Layer class name in the Python guide - All Platforms - The Python user guide had a typo in one of the examples that showed importing the "Layers" class rather than the "Layer" class.
  • DE3314 Wrong point position after undoing "Apply keyframe to all views" if there were separate keyframes on the views - All Platforms - You would get an incorrect point position after undoing a "Apply keyframe to all views" keyframe if there was separate keyframes on the views.
  • DE3313 Moving a point with "Apply keyframe to all views" causes a wrong point position on another view if the layer was tracked - All Platforms - Changing a point position with "Apply keyframe to all views" caused a wrong point position on another view if the layer was tracked.
  • DE3312 User guide does not describe "Track this view" or "Track from other views" - All Platforms - There was not an extensive enough explanation of the stereo offset tracking options in the user guide.
  • DE3306 Lens Export for After Effects is not setting distortion type - Windows and OS X
  • Lens Export for After Effects was not setting the distortion type, so you had to set it manually.

  • DE3297 Release notes have references to 32-bit systems. All Platforms - The previous set of release notes stated support for 32-bit systems.
  • DE3296 There are artifacts on mattes with motion blur if the layer was tracked without "Disable offscreen buffers" property - All Platforms - Artifacts were occuring in some mattes with motion blur where "Disable offscreen buffers" was turned off.
  • DE3280 Undo for numeric track parameters doesn’t work - All platforms - If you modified track parameters you could not undo them.
  • DE3279 Changing numeric track parameters doesn’t mark a project as modified - All platforms - If you modified track parameters the project would not be marked as modified.
  • DE3276 Cannot deselect a layer by clicking on empty space in the Layer Controls pane - All platforms - You can now deselect a layer by clicking on empty space in the Layer Controls pane, not just on the canvas.
  • DE3269 Sometimes changing stereo offset parameters causes changing another parameters to very small values - All platforms - Altering values on the Stereo Offset tab now doesn’t affect any other stereo offset parameters.
  • DE3224 Dragging a file to the mocha icon to create a new project does not fill in frame ranges - All platforms - If you loaded a new project in mocha by dragging footage to the icon or loading it via After Effects, the frame range would be empty in the New Project dialog.
  • DE3204 Artifacts in 3D Difference mode when stereo offset contains Perspective components - All platforms - Difference mode could show irregular shapes when Perspective was shifted in stereo offset.
  • DE3111 Clip parameters don’t change after relinking the clip - All platforms - If you relinked a clip, some clip parameters would not change correctly in the Clip tab.
  • DE3066 View dropdown is disabled for other formats if "All views" checkbox was checked for Nuke formats in Export Tracking or Shape data dialogs - All platforms - If you selected "Export all views" when on a Nuke export then changed export format, you could no longer select the Views drop down.
  • DE3064 Saved project file is corrupted when importing several identical clips if one of them was renamed - All platforms - If you renamed a clip and then imported the same clip again, the project could become corrupted.

  • DE2589 Sometimes there are seams between attached shapes while remove - All Platforms - If you had joined background layers when removing a foreground object, there could be artifacts in the resulting Remove where the layers joined together.
  • DE1825 Remove artifacts occur with small matte shapes All Platforms - Smaller matte shapes could cause artifacts to occur when performing a remove.
  • DE1335 Incorrect layer selection when clicking on the controls of an unselected layer - All Platforms - When you click any control icon for a layer, it will no longer select the layer. You now only select layers by clicking their name.

offset data can be exported to all our supported formats and the insert can be rendered out with 
motion blur, lens distortion and offset applied
  • OpenEXR files are now supported
  • All of mocha v2’s core improvements including 64-bit support and the improved user interface

  • Fixed Issues:
  • DE1067 Tracking skip ahead one frame after stopping - Stopping a track before it had finished would jump the playhead forward one frame rather than stopping on the last tracked frame.
  • DE1217 Project files saved ignore umask - Project files would write with restricted permissions that would cause complications when sharing project files between users.
  • DE1083: Sometimes points jump to the bottom left corner of the image in Nuke when attempting to adjust the points on certain frames - Rare mis-scaling of the transform matrix would cause problems with nuke splines.
  • DE1177: HD pixel aspect ratio for FCP shape export is incorrect - Exporting HD files to shape for FCP would assume a different aspect ratio instead of square.
  • DE1166: Mocha hangs in activating on Mac for just created user - Creating a new user with or without admin access rights on Lion would hang mocha on start-up.
