MatchMover 2... the way to track 3D

MatchMover 2 reconstructs 3D camera and object motion, including zoom, from live-action footage by tracking 2D features in the scene. The software calculates the 3-D coordinates of any 2-D features. By exporting this data from MatchMover to standard compositing and animation software, 3-D objects can be mixed with 2-D images to create new image sequences. For mixed 2-D and 3-D motion animation, MatchMover is indispensable!

FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS

2D Tracking

  • Handling of multiple sequences projects
  • Supports camera pan, roll, rotations, orbit, zoom
  • Very fast and accurate sub pixel tracking, leading to very accurate matchmoving
  • Bi-directional tracking
  • Editable 2D tracking curves
  • Access to 2D tracking parameters in UI, which optimise the workflow in production
  • Handling of occlusions in original sequence
Caustics

3D Tracking

  • Automatic 3D calibration
  • Automatic camera parameters recognition
  • Matchmoving possible even on shots with no parallax, using reference views ("Helper Frames"
  • Matchmoving possible on shots with variable focal length
  • Matchmoving possible on shots with variable lens distortion for non-nodal camera moves
  • Control over the fine geometry of the reconstructed D scene / object (absolutely necessary for high end matchmoving in film format)
  • Enables creation of 3-D mattes for easy compositing

Controls

  • Time line display
  • Manipulators to move scale, align, glue object 3-D models
  • Function curves for all computed camera parameters (translation, rotations focal length, lens distortion)
  • Built in preview
