SynthEyes 2025.5 uses machine learning for automatic motion tracking
[15:53 Wed,30.July 2025 by blip]
The new version 2025.5 of SynthEyes has been released. New in the 3D tracking software is ML Motion Estimation, an AI-based tool designed to improve automatic motion tracking in complex shots. It utilizes machine-learned patterns throughout the image to generate dense motion vectors per pixel, enabling more accurate tracker predictions. The solves should contain fewer errors, even with difficult footage, including low-contrast, blurred motions, lighting changes, and occlusions.

Furthermore, a new Lens Workflow has been implemented for a uniform project export to various 3D and VFX platforms (Blender, Maya, Nuke, After Effects, Fusion, Cinema 4D, 3ds Max, Alembic, and FBX). This applies the necessary lens settings during export while preserving the original camera solve and footage for later use. It also offers advanced adjustment options for edge, resolution, and rounding adjustments without altering the project itself.

Parent Mesh to Tracker, in turn, provides a fast and predictable method for attaching 3D assets to motion data. Meshes can be easily connected to a tracked point within the UI-based viewport with just a few clicks. The function is designed to simplify object layout and reference workflows by eliminating time-consuming manual adjustments and scripting.
The automatic AI mask creation via Mask ML is said to be improved by a new option to adjust the mask expansion. This allows mask edges to be expanded to include soft edges, motion blur, and hair, or to prevent trackers from drifting onto unwanted edge details.
In addition, automatic alignment of video files via rotation metadata (TIFF, PNG, JPEG, ProRes), a dedicated LUT folder, and support for the Blackmagic URSA Cine 17K 65 are new.
SynthEyes from BorisFX is available both as a subscription (monthly and annually) and as a perpetual license.
