New in mocha 1.6.0 (Nov 12, 2009)

  • New Features:
  • Feature: US568: New After Effects export format for RG Warp and mochaImport
  • Description: A new export format, “After Effects CS4 Corner Pin (*.txt) [corner pin only, supports RG Warp and mochaImport]”, has been added. This allows you to
  • export in the format used by mocha for After Effects V1.2. This format is
  • useful for importing into Red Giant Warp plug-ins and the mochaImport
  • script. It can also be useful when the existing CS4 Corner Pin export
  • produces soft results due a large scale factor.
  • Fixed Issues:
  • Issue: DE203: Incorrect file extension was added in Save Project As dialogue.
  • Platform: Mac OS X
  • Description: When saving a project file, the file extension for the wrong product was
  • sometimes added in the Save Project As dialog. For example “.motor”
  • rather than “.mocha”.
  • Issue: DE205: Incorrect licensing error messages were displayed.
  • Platform: All
  • Description: When working with floating licences, sometimes a message stating that
  • your version of mocha did not support HD footage was displayed.
  • Issue: DE208: Lock-up when all floating licence seats were in use.
  • Platform: All
  • Description: When all the seats available on a floating licence were used up, the
  • software would hang, queuing for a licence. This behaviour was non-
  • obvious and has been replaced by a dialogue saying that all seats are in
  • use.
  • Issue: DE178: Disabled points were not supported in Combustion gmask export
  • Platform: All
  • Description: If a shape containing disabled points was exported to Combustion, the
  • result could cause a crash or incorrect rendering in Combustion. Disabled
  • points are now handled correctly, and map to disabled Bezier points in
  • Combustion.
  • Issue: DE211: QuickTime HDV frame cropping and 4k frames load as garbage
  • Platform: Mac OS X
  • Description: The previous Snow Leopard QuickTime fix broke handling of HDV movies, and other footage that contained an embedded non-square PAR. It also
  • caused certain 4k movies to load as garbage frames.
  • Issue: DE215: Interlaced shape data did not line up in Final Cut
  • Platform: All
  • Description: Shapes exported in the mocha shape for Final Cut format from an
  • interlaced project did not line up correctly when imported into Final Cut.
  • Issue: DE216: Aspect ratios for certain types of footage were incorrect in Final
  • Cut
  • Platform: All
  • Description: Some footage resolution/PAR combinations produced an incorrect value in the Final Cut XML file. This resulted in shape data for these formats not
  • lining up with the original footage.
