In a practical sense, I use Mocha for blurring license plates and address numbers. With a planar tracker like Mocha Pro, you are tracking contrast and texture over time, which works particularly well on objects that have flat surfaces with texture - think of a stucco wall or a billboard.

Typically, when tracking points, you are tracking a single pixel or group of pixels inside of a user-defined search area. Mocha Pro does planar tracking, which is a fancy way of saying it’s a texture tracker. Let’s break Mocha Pro 2020 (and 2020.5) and Silhouette 2020 (and 2020.5) down individually. Prior to the Silhouette 2020 release, Mocha integration required an extra fee, but Mocha is now built in at no additional cost.

Silhouette is like Mocha’s sibling: a paint, rotoscope and compositing application that has Mocha planar tracking built in. So what is the difference between Mocha and Silhouette? In a nutshell, Mocha is a planar tracker at heart that happens to be very good at helping with rotoscope work, object removal and more. And if you buy the stand-alone Silhouette option, the Silhouette Paint plugin is included. Silhouette 2020.5 costs $1,795 for a new license of the stand-alone app, and Silhouette Paint is available as a subscription-only pricing option for an annual price of $195 for Adobe, $395 for OFX or multi-host for $595. There are a bunch of options for bundles, which you can put together on the BorisFX website. For an added bonus, I’ll touch on the new Silhouette Paint Plugin as well.įirst let’s talk pricing: the Mocha Pro 2020.5 stand-alone + multi-host option runs $1,495 for a new license multi-host (Adobe, Avid, and OFX) runs $995 and the individual apps run about $695 per app. Now I’m going to tackle Mocha Pro 20.5 as well as the Silhouette 20.5. Both have some exceptional tools and sparkles to add to your videos. Back in May, I reviewed Boris FX’s Continuum 2020.5 and Sapphire 2020.
