Introducing MatchMover® Pro 3
MatchMover® Pro automatically captures the 3D camera path and camera parameters from 2D live-action video and film image sequences and exports them to 3D animation and special effects software. Providing a straightforward and cost-effective way to mix 2D live-action footage with 3D animation and special effects, MatchMover® Pro is your gateway between the 2D world of film and the 3D world of animation.

MatchMover® Pro is an automatic camera tracking application that extracts all camera parameters (including zoom) from information contained in a film sequence. From a set of 2D points automatically tracked through an image sequence, MatchMover® Pro computes:

The camera path and all the camera internal parameters, for example, zoom and distortion

The coordinates of the 3D points that project onto the 2D point tracks

The motion of independent moving objects.

A preview sequence with additional computer-generated objects in the scene can be generated to visually check the quality of the result. If necessary, post filtering can be used to smooth the computed camera path. You can then export your data to an animation package.

With MatchMover® Pro, no geometric data from the set or from the camera is required, but any of them can be used for faster computation and stronger constraints. Integrated high-end 2D tracking modes enable very precise camera reconstruction. MatchMover® Pro works with any type of camera equipment, any image resolution, and can process any camera path in the most commonly used image formats.
