Mocha:

0 or greater.
Brings up the Mocha window for tracking footage and generating masks.
-
Blur Mocha:
Default:
0,
Range:
0 or greater.

-
Mocha Opacity:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 to 1.
Controls the strength of the Mocha mask. Lower values reduce the intensity of the effect.
-
Invert Mocha:
Check-box, ย Default:
off.
If enabled, the black and white of the Mocha Mask are inverted before applying the effect.
-
Resize Mocha:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 to 2.
Scales the Mocha Mask. 1.0 is the original size.
-
Resize Rel X:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 to 2.
The relative horizontal size of the Mocha Mask.
-
Resize Rel Y:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 to 2.
The relative vertical size of the Mocha Mask.
-
Shift Mocha:
X & Y, ย Default:
screen center.
Offsets the position of the Mocha Mask.
-
Dilate Mocha:
Default:
0,
Range:
-100 to 100.
Dilates or erodes the Mocha Mask by this pixel amount before using.
-
Dilation Quality:
Popup menu, ย Default: Fast
.
Selects whether Dilate Mocha adusts quickly in default Fast mode or looks better in High quality mode.
-
Fast:
Dilate Mocha in Fast mode for quick adjustments.
- High: Dilate Mocha in High quality mode for a better looking mask shape.
- High: Dilate Mocha in High quality mode for a better looking mask shape.
-
Fast:
Dilate Mocha in Fast mode for quick adjustments.
-
Bypass Mocha:
Check-box, ย Default:
off.
Ignore the Mocha Mask and apply the effect to the entire source clip.
-
Show Mocha Only:
Check-box, ย Default:
off.
Bypass the effect and show the Mocha Mask itself.
-
Combine Masks:
Popup menu, ย Default: Union
.
Determines how to combine the Mocha Mask and Input Mask when both are supplied to the effect.
-
Union:
Uses the area covered by both masks together.
- Intersect: Uses the area that overlaps between the two masks.
- Mocha Only: Ignore the Input Mask and only use the Mocha Mask.
- Intersect: Uses the area that overlaps between the two masks.
-
Union:
Uses the area covered by both masks together.
-
Noise Frequency:
Default:
1.2,
Range:
0.01 or greater.
The spatial frequency of the initial noise texture. Increase to zoom out, decrease to zoom in.
-
Noise Freq Rel X:
Default:
1,
Range:
0.01 or greater.
The relative horizontal frequency of the initial noise texture. Increase to stretch it vertically or decrease to stretch it horizontally.
-
Noise Octaves:
Integer, ย Default:
4,
Range:
1 to 10.
The number of summed layers of noise. Each octave is twice the frequency and half the amplitude of the previous. A single octave gives a smooth texture. Adding octaves makes the result approach a fractal (1/f) noise texture.
-
Noise Seed:
Default:
0.12,
Range:
0 or greater.
Used to initialize the random number generator. The actual seed value is not significant, but different seeds give different results and the same value should give a repeatable result.
-
Add Grad:
X & Y, ย Default:
[0.1 0],
Range:
any.
Determines the amplitude and direction of a gradient which orients the plasma lines. Increasing X makes the lines more vertical, and increasing Y makes them horizontal.
-
Layers:
Default:
4.5,
Range:
0 or greater.
The number of layers of plasma lines. Increase for a more striped effect.
-
Threshold:
Default:
0.5,
Range:
0 or greater.
Determines the thickness of the plasma lines. Increase for thinner lines, decrease for thicker and brighter ones.
-
Shift:
X & Y, ย Default:
screen center.
Translation offset of the texture. Since the texture is procedurally generated it can be shifted with no repeating units or seams occurring.
-
Phase Start:
Default:
0,
Range:
any.
Phase offset of the plasma lines.
-
Phase Speed:
Default:
1,
Range:
any.
Phase speed of the plasma lines. If non-zero, the lines are automatically animated to undulate at this rate.
-
Brightness:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 or greater.
Scales the brightness of the result.
-
Color:
Default rgb:
[1 1 1].
Scales the color of the result. For example, if it is yellow [1 1 0], the blue of the result will be 0.
-
Glow Color:
Default rgb:
[0.6 0.8 1].
Scales the color of the glow applied to the plasma texture.
-
Glow Brightness:
Default:
3,
Range:
0 or greater.
Scales the brightness of the glow applied to the plasma texture.
-
Glow Width:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 or greater.
The width of the glow applied to the plasma texture.
-
Glow Width Red:
Default:
0.6,
Range:
0 or greater.
The relative red width of the glow.
-
Glow Width Grn:
Default:
1.2,
Range:
0 or greater.
The relative green width of the glow.
-
Glow Width Blue:
Default:
1.8,
Range:
0 or greater.
The relative blue width of the glow.
-
Scale Bg:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 or greater.
The source brightness is scaled by this value before being combined with the texture.
-
Combine:
Popup menu, ย Default: Screen
.
Determines how the texture is combined with the source image.
-
Texture Only:
gives only the texture image with no source.
- Mult: the texture is multiplied by the source.
- Add: the texture is added to the source.
- Screen: the texture is blended with the source using a screen operation.
- Difference: the result is the difference between the texture and source.
- Overlay: the texture is combined with the source using an overlay function.
- Mult: the texture is multiplied by the source.
-
Texture Only:
gives only the texture image with no source.
-
Mask Use:
Popup menu, ย Default: Luma
.
Determines how the Mask input channels are used to make a monochrome mask.
-
Luma:
the luminance of the RGB channels is used.
- Alpha: only the Alpha channel is used, or if there is no valid Alpha channel the Red channel is used.
- Alpha: only the Alpha channel is used, or if there is no valid Alpha channel the Red channel is used.
-
Luma:
the luminance of the RGB channels is used.
-
Blur Mask:
Default:
0.05,
Range:
0 or greater.
Blurs the Mask input by this amount before using. This can provide a smoother transition between the masked and unmasked areas. It has no effect unless the Mask input is provided.
-
Invert Mask:
Check-box, ย Default:
off.
If on, inverts the mask input so the effect is applied to areas where the Mask is black instead of white. This has no effect unless the Mask input is provided.
