*IMPORTANT READ BEFORE INSTALLING* Here’s official info from BorisFX if you have a red X. 1) BCC + Looks is the only FREE effect if someone chose to install ALL the plugins. You can choose to install just the looks plugin. If you don’t choose this, you will see all of the continuum products in your library as well, which will require a payed license. 2) Looks will have a red X on it if the license is NOT activated, The user needs to take the serial number given in an email and paste it to activate or it's a trial. Hope that helps! Hey Fam! Lots of people saying they are seeing a red X. I’m working on finding the solution, and will post an update here in the comments!
Ugh now we need a video how to get it all out of are fcp. I uninstalled it but it’s now even worst. They’re there but show errors because they’re uninstalled🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I’ve been following your page for a few months and you have not disappointed me. I’m a newbie to the whole videography / Photography and truly no nothing. Your videos help me a whole lot but I still have a long way to go. Thank you for your tutorial’s.
Duuude this is absolutely insane, not only is your content incredible and something I've sorely missed this is finally something for FCPX i've found that truly elevates the program! I love FCPX to the core but it lacks features that I otherwise could do in adobe programs that I really miss out on, and this does a lot of that in one package! Hell yes!
OK thanks Dylan! Can’t believe the Mocha is part of the free plug-in - that’s cool. Planning to download and play around with the plug-in tomorrow. Appreciate your explanation of how it works, too. Way to go Bro.
I’ll be honest, ever since I subscribed to your channel, you have been a great help towards me being greater at my skill, I appreciate your knowledge and I respect the content you share with us, keep elevating brother…nothing but success for your life🍾🍾
Ah man, I just bought Continuum earlier today, would’ve waited if I’d known I could get 15% off, lol! But it’s well worth it for the price, a lot of seriously great stuff in there!
Dylan thanks for the tutorials, Im new to all this and Im learning a lot from your videos. Is there a video where you teach how to add, and use plugins to final cut?...I see that you already have them and I kind of wanted to have it with that same organization. Thanks again!
Hi Dylan! I love your channel and your videos! Keep it up! This video today tho, I downloaded from your link and when using the BCC Looks it shows a big red X on the footage. I guess this has something to do with not activating licence? If it's free, shouldn't it be without any kind of watermark like this? Please, bring some light to this! Thanks!
Hey there! Super sorry to hear that! I’ve reached out to BorisFX to find out what’s wrong, as the red X shouldn’t be there on the free version. Will let you know when I find out!
Got the answer for you!! 1) BCC + Looks is the only FREE effect if someone chose to install ALL the plugins. 2) Looks will have a red X on it if the license is NOT activated, The user needs to take the serial number given in an email and paste it to activate or it's a trial. Let me know if you have anymore issues 👊 sorry for the confusion
Dylan!!! been taking a break from film BUT ran into this and man!!! Boris for FCPX is a huge game changer!!! Hope you had a good time in Vegas with other Dylan :)
Dude, this is perfect! I don't need to export a shot to After Effects and then put back to FCP when I need to mask a property or a land! Thank you so much for this tip!!!
After years of exclusively using Davinci Resolve (still my main editing program), I'm now forcing myself to learn FCP - so definitely getting this. Plan - put everything together in FCP - then send to Resolve to grade & export.
Awesome! O shoot real estate video. You think this would be a good tool to mask out the home and horizon on a moving gimbal shot for the purpose of sky replacement or window replacement? Thanks
Dylan, I have to say, I saw this effect on this year's nab 2022, and let me say, you did a better job than the person who presented the content; kudos to you. The effect crashed during the demonstration, and after several reboots, it still didn’t work 😬🫣. Glad the kinks were worked out. It’s an amazing product, and I look forward using it. Keep up the hard work, the big red x is annoying; however, thank you for the update, and I look forward to many more videos. Keep it up! 👍🏾
I followed along but it didn’t quite mask my person as neatly as yours, and it didn’t move the mask when part of her arm moved … did it several times, and feel I may be missing a step in the Mocha Mask?
Do you have your own video explaining Mocha Tracking? I’m new to it. I’ve been experimenting with draw masks and it is SO TEDIOUS drawing out points for each frame. :((((
Bro, may I ask how to do keying with Mocca? I seen comment with your explanation: “you can take an BCC+effect with Mocha and have it set to show the Matte/cutout in Final Cut Pro. Then by duplicating the clip and using a FCP blend mode, you have your cutout. I'll make a quick tip video on this and provide a link in this thread.” Where I can find BCC+effect?
So to be clear, you only get the “looks” for free. You gotta pay for mocha and all that other good stuff, and hey, that’s fair enough, this is some pretty industrial-strength software. I like this channel, but this really is an ad in a thin disguise, let’s be honest.
Mocha comes with the free plugin! And it's less of an ad in thin disguise, and more of an add in full exposure haha! It's really a powerful free plugin. The paid for stuff (continuum) is all the stuff I mention after 6:20. But everything before that is FREE!
@@TheFinalCutBro ok wow, apologies, I stand corrected!! Thanks. You have introduced me to a lot of cool fcp stuff, so the ad comment wasn’t really meant to be a dis - good software needs to be promoted and discovered so please carry on 👍
No hard feelings! One of the most important factors to me with my channel is that it’s a trusted source for editing. I am hyper aware of scummy tactics on the internet, and want nothing to do with it. So I get defensive easily unfortunately 😂 appreciate you watching Bruce!
We need more blunt to the point people like you..this is something I wanted to understand too. So many ass kisser in this world now it's sickening, the more influential RUclips channels that throw around lies for coins. I also appreciate this video, thanks.
This video is dishonest smh.another video creator gone to the dark side and tricking us to get lured into this software that you pay over a thousand dollars for a year wtf???
red x here too. followed instructions to the letter, but our BCC+Looks [02:13] does not tally with your video. no mocha option at all. look forward to updated information. if i hadn't already watched - and appreciated - your tutorials, this would look a lot like a scam. let's hope it's just a glitch!
Hey Frank! Super sorry to hear that. When I tested the plugin out I had no issues with it. Wishing I had run into some so I had better troubleshooting advice 😩 I am going to paste the help provided by Boris FX that might hopefully get you up and running. Outside of activating via the free license sent to your email, I am not sure what to do beyond that. So hopefully their support can help you! From Boris FX "Sorry there is trouble with the installation. Depending on how you chose to install BCC + Looks, you may have put all the plugins that ship with Continuum FCP. Every plugin except BCC + Looks that is in the BCC Film Style category would have a red X on it. Another issue could be that the serial number was not entered.

This plug in is so cool! Thank you for this video and all of your tutorials. This is a pretty simple problem, but if there any way to use this as an easier crop tool? Can I somehow back the background transparent? Thanks!!
Hi, Dylan! I really like this video you made. It is great that you are informing us about new plugins. I have one question however; when I download the free mocha plugin, there is a red x on the screen for each look. It is really annoying. Is there any way you could help with that?
@@mediamech sorry there is trouble with the installation. Depending on how you chose to install BCC + Looks, you may have put all the plugins that ship with Continuum FCP.

So basically just make sure you get the license from your email for the free plugin, and you should be good to go! Sorry i wasn’t aware of that. Should have added it as a point in the video.
Hello, I continue to enjoy and learn from each of your videos, but this last contribution does not work well at all, it is only a huge red X to show the background of the effect, I hope you can correct this, thanks for the help
Hey Cesar, you’ll need to put in the free activation license that comes in your email when you download the plugin, and you’ll be set! This is for the looks plugin. The other continuum plugins require a purchased license. You can uninstall the continuum plugins if you don’t want them in your effects browser, and just have the +looks plugin. Hope that helps!
It’s not designed for it. Buuuuuuut, if you do all the tracking, and make the background completely black by dragging the contrast all the way up, and dropping the brightness to zero. Then add a luma key, and take out the black.. it has some impressive results!
Hey! i think i´m doing something wrong, in the inspectothe left i don´t get the FX editor button, i just get a checkbox that adds a mask, no more, can you help me?
Thanks amazing !!!! 2 questions: -Instead of blurring the bg, can you remove it? -when you added flares to the sum at the end, looks great but can it track the sun and stick with it within that plugin?
I don't have a preview on the external editor. And that is the exact same problem that I am struggling with in Magic Bullet Looks. :( What is the damn fix for it? I can't find anything online!
I'm having trouble figuring out how to mask out the background of my subject instead of applying a look. How does one track and mask the subject, then take out what I dont need? pls help lol
So, I tried the whole Mocha Masking thing, but my subject was moving around and moving his hands, so it was a complete fail. What’s the right way of using this when your subject is actually moving their arms around or maybe walking or running?
Hello Dylan, there's a free fall clip I shot on green screen but part of my body is out of the green screen, so, does this plug in can crop and track that part too, so I can 'copy paste' it if not, then can you think any other possible solution other than manually doing it frame by frame? many thanks!
Looks great. But when I apply the effect to my clip, it says: PC matte clip: no source. I don't know what to do with it because when i select the clip i want to adjust it does not do anything and it just makes my clip go red with a strange symbol. Anyone knows how to fix this?
My mocha mask is not tracking properly and I don't really understand why. I am trying to track the basic shape of a mechanical keyboard spinning around, but somehow the points don't follow its shape. I'm running the 10.6.8 version of Final cut pro. Can someone help me find a solution?
Yes. There's a few ways to do it. One way is to use BCC + Composite in the full Continuum FCP suite. There is a video that shows the general technique in this video ruclips.net/video/RU6t0e6s0Nw/видео.html. With BCC + Looks you would have to change the Pixel Chooser settings to View the Mask /Matte and then use a native Final Cut Pro blend mode on a different clip to read that info to perform a cut out. A quick tip will be out on Boris FX shortly.
While the free version of mocha is not specifically designed for it. A great method is to use the mocha mask, then on the background, drag the contrast to 100 and the brightness to zero. Then use a luma key, and boom, background should be removed! I tested it out, and it works like a charm!
NEWB QUESTION: Not sure if I understand correctly, but with the Mocha tracker, is it possible to separate what was tracked from the rest of the video? If I want to place text behind the pilot in your video or place a different background, is this possible with the use of the Mocha tracker? Trying to understand. Thank you.
Not a newb question at all! So that's a yes/no answer. The free version of Mocha provided with this plugin is not specifically designed to let you do that. I believe if you get Mocha pro, you can do that. BUUUUUUUUUT let's just say you add the mask, as shown in this video. You could theoretically drop the brightness all the way to zero on the background, and then apply a luma key and botta boom botta bing you have got a tracked roto. I actually was just playing around with that, and it works quite well!
@@TheFinalCutBro wow can you please make this into a tutorial. I’d love to do this in final cut. I come from AE and PR, I can do this with that but I love to know how to do this in Final Cut. I’m trying to switch gradually. Thanks for your great videos
@@TheFinalCutBro This is the answer i came looking for , and i agree would love to watch a video of this being done! downloading this plug-in now just for this reason!
Kinda confused now! Mocha masking tracking plug in is for free? Which option should I clic on so I can download that free plug in? Probably a dumb questions but I got really confused. Sorry
Hey Andres! So there is a free version that comes with mocha masking and has 80+ looks! Then there is a second option you can download and pay for annually that has way more effects and presets as well! If you look in the description, the free one is the first link! Hope that helps!
Hi, i install the plugin, following the tutorial step by step. But I think it was located in the wrong place, cause when I drag it over the clip I only get a red image with the warning symbol, like it is missing. I have de BCC folder located in Applications in Finder, I think I have to move it to right place, but which file and where? I hope for some help, I have worked with this, trying to fix it , for a couple of hours now, but can't figure it out. I run MacBook Pro M1 Monterey
Thank you for presenting this amazing free plugin. I successfully installed it and when I add it to a clip in my FCPx project and open the FX editor window the generic mountain preview image is not replaced with my clip. I can still choose a look and apply it, and my clip receives it in the FCP viewer perfectly and I can work with all the parameters but its clearly an issue that my clip can’t be seen instead of the mountain image, especially in the Mocha Mask section as I can not draw an mask around an image that I can’t see. Any ideas what might be going wrong? I sent a help request to Boris FX a week ago and they haven't replied. I am running FCPX 10.5 iMac 27 with catalina 10.15.7
Hey Jim! Sorry to hear that! I heard from some other users who experienced a similar issue, they needed to update FCP to the latest version, and that seemed to resolve the issue. Hoping that works for you! Very surprised they haven't gotten back to you, I feel like they generally have very good customer service. Might be worth checking spam.
@@TheFinalCutBro Thanks Dylan, I thought an update might be needed. The perilous world of updates! I actually updated the mac to big sur and an FCP update as well, that ended up killing some of my plugins and caused other issues so I ended up having to use a backup to get back to the wonderful Catalina and FCP 10.5 which solved the many issues that Big Sur created. At least I can apply the Look and play with parameters in the FCP control panel. Just have to forget about the Mocha masking, I have all that from Pixelfilmstudios and color grading via Cinema Grade as well as Color Finale. However there is something really nice and excellent about the BCC +Looks! Good luck with all your excellent work.

If you delete the effect off the video clips from the video inspector it should clear out those errors. Or is it an actual error dialogue window?

I'm having trouble figuring out how to mask out the background of my subject instead of applying a look. How does one track and mask the subject, then take out what I dont need? pls help lol
So, I tried the whole Mocha Masking thing, but my subject was moving around and moving his hands, so it was a complete fail. What’s the right way of using this when your subject is actually moving their arms around or maybe walking or running?
I tried it on a simple clip with not much movement, but it loose tracking so much is not usable for me
The iPhone 12 Pro HDR footage looks blown out inside FX Editor, but on timeline it looks fine as my project is HDR, any suggestions how to fix that ?
Hello Dylan, there's a free fall clip I shot on green screen but part of my body is out of the green screen, so, does this plug in can crop and track that part too, so I can 'copy paste' it if not, then can you think any other possible solution other than manually doing it frame by frame? many thanks!
Looks great. But when I apply the effect to my clip, it says: PC matte clip: no source. I don't know what to do with it because when i select the clip i want to adjust it does not do anything and it just makes my clip go red with a strange symbol. Anyone knows how to fix this?
I recommend reaching out to their support on their website! They’ve been super helpful for a lot of people.
The fx editor dosn't show when I drag and drop onto a clip
Is there a way to make everything outside of mask transparent to see what clip is underneath in your timeline?
Amazing! Nice work mate 🎬
is the mocha tracker good for rotoscoping?🧐
I have more plug ins here in my computer. If I press remove all unlicensed plugins, does it mean they will be gone?
Yes!
@@TheFinalCutBro thanks. I will choose the another option then. Thank you.
Awesome & Thanks :)
This may be stupid but the zooming in and out in the beginning.. are you key framing or is that a plug in you are using?
My mocha mask is not tracking properly and I don't really understand why. I am trying to track the basic shape of a mechanical keyboard spinning around, but somehow the points don't follow its shape. I'm running the 10.6.8 version of Final cut pro. Can someone help me find a solution?
Can I actually cut out the background or put the text behind the tracked subject with this plugin?
Yes. There's a few ways to do it. One way is to use BCC + Composite in the full Continuum FCP suite. There is a video that shows the general technique in this video ruclips.net/video/RU6t0e6s0Nw/видео.html. With BCC + Looks you would have to change the Pixel Chooser settings to View the Mask /Matte and then use a native Final Cut Pro blend mode on a different clip to read that info to perform a cut out. A quick tip will be out on Boris FX shortly.
While the free version of mocha is not specifically designed for it. A great method is to use the mocha mask, then on the background, drag the contrast to 100 and the brightness to zero. Then use a luma key, and boom, background should be removed! I tested it out, and it works like a charm!
NEWB QUESTION: Not sure if I understand correctly, but with the Mocha tracker, is it possible to separate what was tracked from the rest of the video? If I want to place text behind the pilot in your video or place a different background, is this possible with the use of the Mocha tracker? Trying to understand. Thank you.
Not a newb question at all! So that's a yes/no answer. The free version of Mocha provided with this plugin is not specifically designed to let you do that. I believe if you get Mocha pro, you can do that. BUUUUUUUUUT let's just say you add the mask, as shown in this video. You could theoretically drop the brightness all the way to zero on the background, and then apply a luma key and botta boom botta bing you have got a tracked roto. I actually was just playing around with that, and it works quite well!
@@TheFinalCutBro wow can you please make this into a tutorial. I’d love to do this in final cut. I come from AE and PR, I can do this with that but I love to know how to do this in Final Cut. I’m trying to switch gradually. Thanks for your great videos
@@TheFinalCutBro Thanks for replying. What a great workaround. I would also love to see a video on this as suggested by Mopsie.
@@TheFinalCutBro This is the answer i came looking for , and i agree would love to watch a video of this being done! downloading this plug-in now just for this reason!
Kinda confused now! Mocha masking tracking plug in is for free? Which option should I clic on so I can download that free plug in? Probably a dumb questions but I got really confused. Sorry
Hey Andres! So there is a free version that comes with mocha masking and has 80+ looks! Then there is a second option you can download and pay for annually that has way more effects and presets as well! If you look in the description, the free one is the first link! Hope that helps!
after installed plugins showing error in fcp what was the reason please inform
Thanks for sharing 👍 👍
what's the 1st effect he uses whats it's name
Hi, i install the plugin, following the tutorial step by step. But I think it was located in the wrong place, cause when I drag it over the clip I only get a red image with the warning symbol, like it is missing. I have de BCC folder located in Applications in Finder, I think I have to move it to right place, but which file and where? I hope for some help, I have worked with this, trying to fix it , for a couple of hours now, but can't figure it out. I run MacBook Pro M1 Monterey
Hey Martin, maybe try checking out this video I just released to see if that fixes your problem! ruclips.net/video/OaCSA0jattc/видео.html
Thanks for answer! I move all the files to the effects folder and now is working fine
Excellent!
Thank you for presenting this amazing free plugin. I successfully installed it and when I add it to a clip in my FCPx project and open the FX editor window the generic mountain preview image is not replaced with my clip. I can still choose a look and apply it, and my clip receives it in the FCP viewer perfectly and I can work with all the parameters but its clearly an issue that my clip can’t be seen instead of the mountain image, especially in the Mocha Mask section as I can not draw an mask around an image that I can’t see. Any ideas what might be going wrong? I sent a help request to Boris FX a week ago and they haven't replied.
I am running FCPX 10.5
iMac 27 with catalina 10.15.7
Hey Jim! Sorry to hear that! I heard from some other users who experienced a similar issue, they needed to update FCP to the latest version, and that seemed to resolve the issue. Hoping that works for you! Very surprised they haven't gotten back to you, I feel like they generally have very good customer service. Might be worth checking spam.
@@TheFinalCutBro Thanks Dylan, I thought an update might be needed. The perilous world of updates! I actually updated the mac to big sur and an FCP update as well, that ended up killing some of my plugins and caused other issues so I ended up having to use a backup to get back to the wonderful Catalina and FCP 10.5 which solved the many issues that Big Sur created. At least I can apply the Look and play with parameters in the FCP control panel. Just have to forget about the Mocha masking, I have all that from Pixelfilmstudios and color grading via Cinema Grade as well as Color Finale. However there is something really nice and excellent about the BCC +Looks! Good luck with all your excellent work.
Got the same problem
@@guappo_wood Did you fix it?
Can you do a video on all the plugins you use?
Fantastic idea! I do have one in the works that I’m really excited about.
@@TheFinalCutBro Love your channel! Thanks :D
Thank you!
will it make it faster if i convert my 8K clips to proxy on a M1 Pro?
