Stands out in the toolfarm library for reading tracking data directly from the Mocha plugin effect, which keeps it working with the version of Mocha bundled inside newer After Effects releases where the plugin no longer exports data to a file or clipboard.
mamoworld MochaImport+ links the Mocha planar tracker to After Effects and turns tracking data into usable comps and effects. The Mocha tracker is an award-winning planar tracking tool bundled with After Effects, and MochaImport+ helps you get the most out of it whether you use that bundled plugin or a separate full or plugin version of Mocha.
The core of the workflow is the stabilized precomp, a composition in which the tracked region no longer moves. Inside it you can re-light areas, remove elements with the clone brush, insert objects, or retouch as if working on a still image, and your changes apply back to the original perspective. You can also move After Effects masks and 2D point properties with a track, using corner pin data that accounts for position, scale, rotation, shear, and perspective.
Expression-driven tracking data keeps all movement in a single keyframe, so adjusting that one keyframe shifts every frame and added keyframes tween automatically. Additional tools include a Stabilize Rig for stabilizing or smoothing motion, a Bezier Warp Corner Pin for curved surfaces, KBar buttons, and scripting support for automated pipelines.
mamoworld MochaImport+ is best for compositors and VFX artists moving Mocha planar tracks into After Effects for stabilization, retouching, mask work, and corner pinning.
mamoworld MochaImport+ is completely free to download and use.
mamoworld MochaImport+ supports a wide span of After Effects releases: 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, CC 2019, CC 2018, CC 2017, CC 2015.3, CC 2015, CC 2014, CC, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, and CS4. On newer builds it reads tracking data directly from the Mocha plugin effect, which keeps it working with recent versions where the bundled Mocha no longer exports tracking data to a file or the clipboard. Check the developer's page for the latest specifics.
mamoworld MochaImport+ works with all versions of Mocha for After Effects, standalone Mocha, and Mocha Pro. It's designed to get the most out of the Mocha planar tracker whether you rely on the Mocha plugin bundled with After Effects or a separate full or plugin version. Because newer bundled Mocha plugins no longer export tracking data to a file or clipboard, MochaImport+ reads that data directly from the Mocha plugin effect. The developer's page covers supported Mocha versions in more detail.
mamoworld MochaImport+ supports the major third-party corner pin plugins alongside those included in After Effects. That covers Corner Pin, CC Power Pin, Bezier Warp, and Card Dance from After Effects itself, plus Red Giant Warp Corner Pin, BCC Corner Pin, RE:Map Planar, and Sapphire Warp Corner Pin. It also adds its own Bezier Warp Corner Pin, a corner pin with bezier handles on all corners for creating corner pins on curved surfaces.
mamoworld MochaImport+ includes KBar support, so you can execute any of its functions directly from a KBar button. It also offers scripting support, letting you call MochaImport+ functions from your own After Effects scripts and use it inside automated pipelines and custom workflow tools. That makes it possible to fold the plugin's tracking and corner-pin operations into a setup you've already scripted rather than driving everything by hand.
mamoworld MochaImport+ is listed as free here in the catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current details before relying on it in production work. Recent updates mention online activation and an updated license framework, so an internet connection may come into play during setup or activation. For anything specific, including the time-limited licenses noted in past releases, the developer's page is the place to confirm.
