SynthEyes Pro (developed by Boris FX) is a standalone 3D tracking and matchmoving application used globally in high-end feature films, television, and virtual production. First released in 2003 and acquired by Boris FX in 2023, the software analyzes live-action footage to reverse-engineer the physical camera’s movement, focal length, and lens distortion. This data allows VFX artists to seamlessly integrate computer-generated (CG) elements into real-world shots. Core Capabilities
Camera Tracking: Recreates precise 3D virtual camera paths from handheld, drone, tripod, or stereoscopic video files.
Object Tracking: Solves the movement of moving elements within a scene, such as vehicles, props, or actors.
Geometry Tracking (GeoH): Tracks rigid and articulated multi-joint 3D meshes (like arms or suspensions) directly over moving footage.
Motion Capture: Captures facial performances and low-volume body movements without specialized studio hardware. Key Innovations in Recent Versions
The platform has evolved rapidly under Boris FX, introducing machine learning tools and modernization to fast-track production bottlenecks. SynthEyes – Software
