Mocha Pro holds rank 22 in the toolfarm library and earns its place for pairing planar tracking with a deepening set of machine learning tools across tracking and matte work.
Boris FX Mocha Pro combines planar tracking, rotoscoping tools, object removal, PowerMesh mesh tracking, 3D camera solves powered by SynthEyes, and image and camera stabilization in a single system. It is optimized for 360/VR workflows and works as a plugin inside a host application or as a standalone application.
Recent releases add machine learning across the toolset. PowerMesh with Point Track ML improves mesh point placement on light changes, turning or obscured surfaces, and points that go off screen. AdjustTrack with Point Track ML nudges points in difficult tracking scenarios, with Auto Nudge for a first pass plus per-point and Image refinement modes. Advanced AI mattes use Auto ROI and a Search Area to speed up masking and cut down on stray artifacts.
Matte Refine detects soft edges, blurs or hairs on any layer matte, and a group of layers can now be composited into a single matte. Mocha Pro also supports Windows on ARM for the standalone build and the Adobe plugin.
Boris FX Mocha Pro - Perpetual License is best for vFX and compositing artists handling planar tracking, rotoscoping, object removal, mesh tracking and 3D camera solves across After Effects, Premiere Pro and OFX hosts.
Boris FX Mocha Pro - Perpetual License is completely free to download and use.
Mocha Pro runs as a plugin in Adobe After Effects CC and Premiere Pro CC and Avid Media Composer, and through OFX in Autodesk Flame, Boris FX Silhouette, Foundry NUKE, Blackmagic Fusion, VEGAS Pro and SGO Mistika. It can also run as a standalone application. This entry covers the Mocha Pro 2026.x line. For the full list of supported host versions and operating systems, check the developer's page, since supported versions can change between releases.
Mocha Pro requires macOS Monterey 12.7.6 or higher and runs on Apple silicon or Intel processors, Sandy Bridge or newer. Boris FX lists 16 GB of RAM or more and a high-speed disk array or NVMe SSD for storage, along with a supported graphics processor. These figures apply to the Mocha Pro 2026.x line. For the complete requirements and supported OS versions, see the developer's page.
Mocha Pro supports Windows on ARM for the Mocha Pro Standalone and the Adobe plugin, added in the 2026.5 release. That same update also introduced PowerMesh with Point Track ML, AdjustTrack with Point Track ML, Object Brush Auto ROI, Matte Assist Search Area and new matte export options. For the full picture of platform and host support, refer to the developer's page.
Mocha Pro works both as a plugin inside a supported host and as a standalone application, so it can track and roto outside a host when needed. The standalone build and the Adobe plugin both support Windows on ARM. Solved 3D scenes can also be exported to SynthEyes for additional tools and options. For details on the standalone workflow and supported hosts, see the developer's page.
Mocha Pro is listed as free in this catalog. The entry is described as a perpetual license from Boris FX, but for current licensing terms, editions and any purchase details, check the developer's page.
