Convert FFX to MOKEY

Understanding the ffx and mokey file formats

FFX files are Adobe After Effects Preset files, used to store animation and effect settings that can be applied to layers within After Effects projects. These presets help streamline workflows by allowing users to reuse complex effect configurations.

Mokey files are project files used by Boris FX Mocha Pro's Mokey module, a specialized software for object removal, motion tracking, and advanced VFX compositing. Mokey files store project data, including tracking information, masks, and effect settings.

Can you convert ffx to mokey?

Direct conversion from FFX to Mokey is not natively supported, as these formats serve different purposes and are used in different software ecosystems. FFX files are for After Effects, while Mokey files are for Boris FX Mocha Pro. However, you can transfer effect workflows by exporting rendered footage or using intermediate formats.

How to transfer effects from ffx to mokey workflow

1. Apply your FFX preset to your composition in Adobe After Effects.
2. Render the composition as a high-quality video file (e.g., File → Export → Add to Render Queue).
3. Import the rendered video into Boris FX Mocha Pro (Mokey module) using File → Import.
4. Save your project in Mokey, which will create a .mokey file.

This workflow allows you to use the visual results of your After Effects preset within Mokey, though not as editable effect data.

Best software for the process

• Adobe After Effects – for applying and rendering FFX presets.
• Boris FX Mocha Pro (Mokey module) – for advanced VFX and saving Mokey project files.

There are no direct file converters for FFX to Mokey, as both formats are proprietary and serve different functions. The recommended workflow is to render and import footage as described above.
