Essential toolset for removing wires, rigs, logos, scratches, hairs and other undesired elements
Version: 4.1.3Mokey is a revolutionary software application that separates out foreground objects and removes unwanted objects from moving footage, without using traditional keying techniques or hand painting.

If you regularly work on projects that require removal of rigs, logos, faces, wires, lens, flares, warped frames, scratches, hair-in-gate, lens distortion and so on then:
· Mokey offers you the ability to improve productivity on traditionally very labour intensive work.
· Mokey allows you to save shots that otherwise could not have been saved within the budget constraints of the client.
· Mokey complements your existing investment in post production hardware/software by being compatible with most other packages, such as Autodesk Discreet, Avid DS, Adobe After Effects, Quantel generationQ, Apple Shake and other compositing and editing systems.
Mokey is a product that complements your main editing, compositing, DI and film restoration systems. It offers a very advanced toolset that provides you with an alternative approach to solving an array of problems that usually would be more time consuming and more difficult to achieve accurately in other packages.
Here are some key features of "Mokey":
· Planar Tracker
This unique planar tracker bridges the gap between traditional 2D point trackers and 3D trackers, giving it the nickname '2.5D tracker', to give you a better and faster way to generate 2D tracks. The tracker forms the basis for most other operations in Mokey, such as object removal.
· Object Removal
Removing unwanted wires, rigs, logos, faces, lens flares, scratches, hair-in-gate and so on from film and video clips is traditionally a very laborious task. The remove tool changes that. It will automatically expose the previously hidden background areas using information from other frames in the clip - whilst also adjusting for any combination of camera and object motion and frame-to-frame lighting variations.
· Motion Keyer
Creating travelling mattes for objects shot against badly lit bluescreens or more generic backgrounds often requires painstaking rotoscoping. Mokey's matte module provides an alternative. Mattes are created using the background information and the motion data, allowing you to easily create mattes for objects shot against virtually any background.
· Stabilizer
The advanced stabilizer can compensate for any combination of motion, including translation, rotation, zoom, perspective changes and shearing, warping the image to either fully stabilize it or simply reduce any undesired motion component whilst retaining the underlying camera move. The stabilizer reduces resolution loss by optionally filling in the borders created during stabilization with information from other frames.
· Lens Distortion
With this tool the lens distortion can be analysed and used to distort or undistort images, for example a CG plate that needs to distorted the same way as the image it is to be inserted into.
