Mocha Pro 2026 is developed by Boris FX (Imagineer Systems), and it’s the Emmy and Academy Award-winning planar tracking and masking plugin used across major film and television productions. Boris FX Sequoia covers a broader restoration and finishing toolkit, but Mocha Pro’s specific expertise is tracking, matting, and camera solving, the foundational work that everything else in a VFX pipeline builds on.
The 2026 release focuses on refinement rather than reinvention. Matte Refine ML is the headline addition, an AI model that automatically cleans up matte edges on fine details like hair, motion blur, and soft focus, extending the AI matte-generation workflow introduced the previous year. You can now group multiple layers and refine them into a single combined matte, and playback of refined mattes no longer requires a separate render pass first.
Features of Boris FX Mocha Pro 2026
- MATTE REFINE ML (AI-POWERED): New machine learning model that surgically refines matte edges to isolate fine hair and motion blur automatically.
- REFINE SOLVE 3D TOOLS: Fix drifting or unstable 3D camera solves by deleting erratic features without re-solving the entire sequence.
- FULLY REBUILT CURVE EDITOR: Rewritten core and new Graphs panel for surgical visualization and precision editing of all tracking and animation data.
- LAYER GROUP MATTES: Combine multiple layers into a single combined matte to surgically reduce render times and simplify composite exports.
- VFX REFERENCE PLATFORM 2025: Fully compliant with modern industry standards including Python 3.11 and Qt 6.5.4 for elite studio stability.
- FLOATING UI PANELS: Dock or float interface panels to immediately customize your workspace for better efficiency on multi-monitor setups.

Why I Recommend
Refine Solve is the feature that actually saves real production time. Re-running an entire camera solve because of one bad region used to be standard practice, burning time on a shot that was otherwise fine. Being able to surgically remove just the problem features is a genuine workflow improvement, not just a convenience.
Where this software is a hard sell is the same place most professional VFX tools are: cost and learning curve. Subscription pricing starts around €42/month, with perpetual licenses from €675, and getting real value out of planar tracking and camera solving takes time to learn properly. This isn’t a casual purchase, it’s built for working compositors and VFX artists on real production pipelines, not hobbyists dabbling in After Effects.
For anyone doing professional tracking, roto, or compositing work, our Video Editing section has more VFX tools worth pairing with a dedicated tracker like Mocha Pro.
