  Mocha Pro Removal Tool Problem

  Posted by Ian Leo on March 12, 2011 at 9:23 am

  Hi. I have a problem for Mocha Pro. I am trying to use the removal tool for Mocha Pr which just doesn’t work AT ALL. First, I film a shot of a cup that I want to remove. Then, in Mocha Pro, I track the cup and the background. Then after that I go to the remove tool, with the cup track selected, and hit render forwards. It renders but with no remove at all. I’ve been trying to do this for 7 days already, and I am using the trial version. Please help, thank you! 🙂

  If mocha Pro is not removing properly, the first thing to check is that the actual clean frames exist within the shot.

  For example, in the above users description, if the cup is so close to the wall that there are not any clean frames to use, mocha Pro will not automatically work. In this scenereio, the user must provide mocha Pro with 1-2 clean frames (usually painted/cloned in Photoshop).

  This tutorial covers “Clean Plates”:

  If there are good clean frames within the shot, the first thing to check is your background track is solid.

  Next, make sure your remove layer is on the layer above the bg layer.

  Last, make sure the “gear/render” icon on the remove layer is on, go to remove and render.

  If you are still having issues, it is best to contact Imagineer support:
