September 20, at 4: Those of you with eagle eyes will note that I have not done a good job matching edges, or the clouds are cutting off on the edge of the selected area. While this may not solve every rotoscoping problem, it can definitely make effects possible that were never affordable before. There may be times where, due to the complexity of the move, you will need to alter the mask shape manually. SliceX lets you create instant Shape Masks to cut out layers or isolate effects directly in Final Cut Pro X without having to go into Motion or create the masks with an external program. However, SliceX can make the process a whole lot faster. In this case, I used a rounded rectangle.

Click the Mocha icon in the SliceX Toolbar so that it glows brown. Draw a shape that covers the entire barn. The combination of image selection with motion tracking is a huge time-saver when it comes to selecting, tracking, and modifying portions of an image.
Product Review: CoreMelt SliceX with Mocha
Here, for example, I want to move this Big Horn Sheep out of the forest and into a beach at sunset. Those of you with eagle eyes will note that I have not done a good job matching edges, or the clouds are cutting off on the edge of the selected area.
You can adjust control points to change roundness, scaling, and rotation. What SliceX does is replace the original selection with the video under the green selection. This is the time-consuming part. Worse, the camera is slowly panning across the field, which means the barn is changing position during the clip.
Then, draw around the edges of the foreground object. There may be times where, due to the complexity of the move, you will need to alter the mask shape manually. SliceX fully supports shape keyframes for this purpose.
However, with this effect, you can do most of what you need to do in the Viewer, itself. Mocha figures all that stuff out automatically. In this case, I used a rounded rectangle.
However, SliceX can make the process a whole lot faster. If you need to alter the amount of blur, softness of the edges, or other parameters, you can easily do that in the Inspector, as I pointed out earlier. While this may not slicrx every rotoscoping problem, it can definitely make effects possible that were never affordable before. In short, you can put a foreground object in front of a new background.
CoreMelt has a tradition of creating industry-respected plug-ins.

Click the Track Forward arrow. Drag the Blur Shape Mask effect on top of the Timeline clip.
SliceX lets you create instant Shape Mcha to cut out layers or isolate effects directly in Final Cut Pro X without having to go into Motion or create the masks with an external program.

Imagineer partnered with CoreMelt to create this new version.
You can motion track this effect the same as the Blur effect, by turning on Mocha, then tracking forward from the start of the clip; or you can track backward from the end of slifex clip, whichever is easier. The more careful you are in defining the edges of the shape, the better your results will be. CoreMelt is a highly-respected developer of plug-ins for a wide variety of post-production software.

Once the track is complete, render the clip or let FCP X render it automatically and you are done! CoreMelt has several videos on its website that go into more detail on how to achieve perfection. This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
In fact, none of the effects I created in this review are perfect.
