Does Motion Mosh render through Media Encoder?

Motion Mosh can render through Media Encoder and is compatible with Media Encoder 2022 through 2026. Support for rendering through Media Encoder was added alongside its availability in Premiere Pro. If you work in Premiere Pro, Motion Mosh became compatible with it in a later update, so you can apply the effect there and render out through Media Encoder. See the developer's page for the latest details.

Does Motion Mosh work with older GPUs like the GTX 1050?

Motion Mosh added support for older GPUs, including the GTX 1050 and 1080, in an update. Because it is GPU accelerated, your graphics card matters for running the effect in realtime. Earlier releases noted limitations with cards such as the 1050 and 1070, but later updates expanded support to those older Nvidia cards. For confirmation on your specific hardware, the developer's page is the best reference.

Is Motion Mosh free?

Motion Mosh is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so for current pricing and license details it is best to check the developer's page directly. The plugin is distributed through aescripts, where you can also find the latest version, the changelog, and the download.
