Boris FX SynthEyes is a powerful 3D camera tracking and matchmoving application designed for VFX professionals. It delivers precise tracking, AI‑assisted automation, and seamless integration with major 3D and compositing pipelines.
SynthEyes is a high‑end standalone application used to analyze and reconstruct camera motion from real footage, enabling accurate integration of 3D elements into filmed scenes. It is a core tool in modern VFX pipelines for film, television, and advertising.
The software combines automated tracking powered by machine learning with advanced manual controls, allowing artists to handle even the most complex shots involving movement, distortion, or low‑texture surfaces.
In addition to camera tracking, SynthEyes supports object tracking, lens calibration, and full scene reconstruction, forming a complete foundation for 3D compositing workflows. Its powerful export system ensures compatibility with leading software such as Blender, Houdini, Nuke, and After Effects.
Continuous UI improvements and real‑time tools like Live Preview streamline workflows, reduce iteration time, and simplify complex matchmoving tasks.
