Mocha AE in CS6?
Anyone notice if Mocha AE was included with CS6? It would be a shame to upgrade now, while it’s discounted, only to find it came as a freebie for CS6.

This is not true and a very important distinction for mocha users to understand. CS6 does not ship with mocha AE v3.
Adobe After Effects CS6 ships with “mocha AE CS6”. This is “NOT” mocha AE v3.
mocha AE CS6 offers the same functionality found in CS5.5 with the added bonus of a send to mocha button to launch mocha from within AE and set proper project setting.
mocha AE v3 is only available from Imagineer Systems or authorized reseller channel. mocha AE v3 contains features not found in the Adobe bundle including:
new 3D camera Solver
new roto tools: Transform tool & Join Layers
new dopesheet keyframe editor
updated layer manager, shortcuts and moremocha AE v3 also supports Apple Motion, Final Cut Pro v7 and Boris FX.
mocha AE v3 also supports AE CS4, CS5, CS5.5 & CS6 for those not ready to upgrade.
Upgrade is $195 from any registered mocha AE bundle version.

I like Dave’s answer best. Why would Adobe bundle “old”, “crippled” plugins with new software?

CS6 has been updated with mocha AE CS6. Just does not include the features and support found in mocha AE v3 sold by Imagineer.

Hi Dave,
There is no marketing speak going on. The drop date to be included in CS6 was very early and simply did not allow Imagineer to get all the new features ready in time.In most basic terms:
mocha AE CS6 is still totally relevant for planar tracking and roto for AE users.mocha AE v3 adds new 3D Camera Solve, new roto and keyframe tools and supports AE users that do not wish to upgrade or require added support for Motion, Boris & FCP.
We’ll try to update that comparison chart in the near future.
Best,

“There is no marketing speak going on. The drop date to be included in CS6 was very early and simply did not allow Imagineer to get all the new features ready in time.”
I don’t think AE CS6 has shipped yet(I could be wrong, but it does not appear to be running on my computer the last time I looked). There is still time to get it included with the software release. Looks like Imagineer did get the features ready in time after all! Hooray!

No – the version that ships with AE CS6 is not a v3 version and does not align with the v3 versions of other mocha products.
It is called mocha AE CS6 to insure that people know it only supports the AE version that it is bundled with.
Imagineer will continue to put out 3.x point releases throughout the year, but the CS6 build will remain the current feature set.
I think with that we can wrap the thread?
Thanks,

Hi folks,
I promised we’d update the mocha compare products chart to see how the bundled CS6 mocha AE compares with other mocha products…Sorry for the delay, but here it is:

Ok what is the difference between the Mocha that came with CS5 and CS6?
-
There are not major feature differences between mocha AE CS5 and CS6 other than current stability and optimization fixes.
The only significant difference is that mocha AE CS6 is launched from within AE’s animation menu and mocha AE CS5 is launched as a separate application.
Again – you’ll find the major differences between what ships with Adobe and what can be upgraded to here: https://www.imagineersystems.com/compare-products
Please let me know know if you have specific questions.
