WHAT'S NEW
Integrated Mocha Tracking and Masking
Sapphire is proud to feature integrated Mocha planar tracking and masking in the legendary suite of VFX plug-ins. Right from within your favorite effect, Sapphire now has the ability to launch Mocha and create and track a mask, utilizing the Academy Award-winning planar tracking technology. Mocha masks can be used in a variety of ways, from simple isolation to full-blown rotoscoping. Power users of Sapphire have long known the secret to creating great effects has always been employing masks to selectively isolate, and now working with that technique is easier than ever.
