Stop wasting time. Automate repetitive tasks and create new tools with Silhouette's MCP server. Create one-shot scripts, batch processes, and even full modules with GUI.
In this professional workflow tutorial, we explore how to leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) to manipulate Silhouette directly through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). You'll learn how to move beyond simple one-off prompts to create scalable, repeatable tools for complex tasks like batch processing, node configuration, and automated rendering.
We cover the critical differences between RPC and MCP, how to use screenshots to guide AI, and essential strategies for managing LLM context to save both time and money. Whether you are using online models like ChatGPT or running local solutions like Ollama, this guide provides the framework to turn natural language into powerful, automated VFX pipelines.

![Locked Shot and Moving Objects? Easy 3D Tracking with Mocha Pro [Boris FX]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VGAxLUQ0N_o/mqdefault.jpg "Locked Shot and Moving Objects? Easy 3D Tracking with Mocha Pro [Boris FX]
Join Elizabeth Postol and 3D track a moving object within a locked-off shot inside of Mocha Pro. Learn how to perform a 3D object solve for common visual effects tasks like product packaging replacement and adding elements to your object in a 3D package.
The first example tracks a moving box in a static scene, and shows how Locked Shot will solve a previously unsolvable scene.
Next, we’ll explore how to apply these techniques to organic, non-planar surfaces with 3D-solved PowerMesh. We track a cake and export the data to Houdini to create a realistic final composite.

⦁ Moving Object Solve: Learn how to group track layers to solve them as a single moving object in 3D.
⦁ The Locked Shot Feature: Understand when and how to use the Locked Shot checkbox for successful solves in static camera shots with no parallax.
⦁ Scene Alignment: Discover how to adjust the solved scenes position and rotation for perfect integration.
⦁ Snapping 3D Models: See the new feature that allows you to snap a 3D model onto your tracked object for better visualization and review.
⦁ PowerMesh for Organic Surfaces: Learn how to use PowerMesh to track non-planar, organic objects and export the data for advanced VFX work.

In this quick tutorial for Boris FX Samplitude, we look at the process of importing new audio files. Follow along as we enhance a promo mix by adding and placing sound effects.
Watch the longer Getting Started with Samplitude video here : https://youtu.be/Ok5tRkj8hHs
We will guide you through creating and naming new tracks, using the built-in file browser to preview audio, and the various methods for bringing files into your project. A key focus of this video is navigating the import options, including how to handle common sample rate mismatches between your source file and your project using real-time object resampling.
Additionally, well troubleshoot common workflow issues, such as why a clip might not move, and demonstrate how to toggle snapping for precise placement of your audio objects.
