Guys,
I appreciate a point release update is on the way shortly and I REALLY hope it covers this, but I’ve really got to say - almost everything I try to do with Mocha I come up against a bug or error message/crash! The tracker itself is amazing, but if I can’t finish a project from start to finish then what’s the point!?
I’m trying to do a roto job and when sending a test render out to see how it’s looking I had a couple of probs:
-
TGA sequence rendered with alpha, plays jerky and like there’s a field missing when played in Premiere out to my b/cast monitor. I tried changing clip setting back to PAL (see my previous thread on the COW about fields being reversed) and still the same.
-
so I tried to render a QT, either from file menu or from clip tab at bottom - as soon as I choose a filename, then hit next I get an error and then Mocha shuts down.
So how on earth do I get a rot job out of Mocha!!?
Some things hope are fixed in the next version: -
- field separation fixed when using PAL footage
- RGBA QT renders possible without a crash
- Adjust track not skewing surface area randomly
- deleting KFs from reference points
- not such a huge delay between moving spline points and them actually moving
- previewing fielded footage without it jumping up and down, which makes it impossible to see if your track is solid until you check it in an NLE/compositing app
- making auto adjust in adjust track actually work and reference points stick to the high contrast areas where they were originally placed
Some things that really should be included in a roto/tracking app of this price: -
- video I/O card support beyond the DVS Centaurus. Surely a quicktime image buffer, like that used in AE would work?
- 8bit yuv AVI clip import that doesn’t look like fuzzy multicoloured hundreds and thousands dots! (AVI codec support generally)
- contextual help menu with search terms (ie: not just a link to a general PDF)
Thanks. I really like Mocha in principle and really want to use it day to day, but you’re making it very hard!!
