SynthEyes Features

SynthEyes has an enormous number of features, like other major programs such as Microsoft Word, Autodesk Maya, or Adobe After Effects. To give you some general ideas, we've broken features into various categories, listed below. The “New 2401 Highlights” page is always worth a look, and of course you can check out the demo version and manuals.

New 2024.1 Highlights

  • New “Advanced Lens Distortion” plugin for After Effects supports all SynthEyes lens models.
  • Plugins support Apple Silicon, ie M1/M2/M3 machines.
  • AE Exporter supports animated distortion, off-center lenses, and non-square pixels.
  • 3D Mesh export direct to AE Beta using OBJ files.

Types of Shots

SynthEyes handles a wide variety of shots: moving objects, nodal, zoom, stereo, single frame, motion capture, surveys...

See More

Image Preprocessor

Preprocess the images to aid tracking, fix colors, correct lens distortion, or reduce RAM consumption.

See More

Lens Calibration

SynthEyes has extensive tools for lens calibration from test patterns, calculating distortion during solving, and using calibration data.

See More

Object Separation

For automatic tracking, use rough animated rotosplines or green-screen keying to select areas to be tracked.

See More

Tracking

Extensive supervised tracking feature set, high-performance automatic tracking, 3-D planar tracking, AprilTags, cleanup and add-tracker tools...

See More

Geometric Hierarchy Tracking

Spectacularly powerful and flexible toolset for 3D tracking multi-level constrained hierarchies of moving parts, directly tracking supplied meshes or using normal (supervised) trackers.

See More

Solving

The powerful and flexible solver includes constraints, path locks, camera/camera stereo locks, lens distortion, zooms, zero-weighted trackers, phases for multistage solving, a light solver...

See More

360° Virtual Reality

SynthEyes can work with 360° spherical equirectangular images for tracking, stabilization, and display.

See More

ViewShift System

Use ViewShift for complex object removals, combining split takes, generating animated texture maps, and more!

See More

Stabilization

Integrated stabilization for normal and 360VR shots, including creating a "physical" rig for export.

See More

Coordinate System Setup

These features position, align, and size the entire scene in the 3-D environment, via constraints, phases, lines, and automatic or manual placement.

See More

Set Reconstruction

Amazing texture extraction system pulls low-noise textures from shots. Create meshes from computed 3-D tracker locations. Add cards for quick geometry.

See More

Graph Editor

Examine tracker or camera position or velocity curves, or keyframe track views for coverage analysis. Always-visible error curve mini-view.

See More

Perspective Window

Navigate the scene independent of the solved camera, place trackers on imported meshes or lidar data, produce 3D stereo views, create preview movies with antialiasing and motion blur.

See More

Images In/Out

SynthEyes can read a variety of still image formats, movie files such as ARRI, BRAW, and RED. It can also write various image and movie formats for preview movies.

See More

Meshes In/Out

SynthEyes can read and write a variety of mesh and vertex cache formats.

See More

Scripting

Feel the awesome next-generation power and flexibility of typed or spoken natural language control with the Synthia instructible assistant. Automate frequent tasks using Synthia, Sizzle, or Python scripting.

See More

Workflow/User Interface

Flexible user-interface features such as rooms, viewport layouts, free-floating configurable toolbars, keyboard maps, shot presets, coordinate axis directions, versioning auto-save. Notes for inter-artist communication.

See More

SynthEyes easily is the best camera match mover and object tracker out there.
