In a recent update, SynthEyes 2024.1 introduces several improvements aimed at enhancing the experience for After Effects users. The update focuses on the Advanced Lens Distortion Plugin, 3D Meshes and Textures, and Plugin Capability.
Advanced Lens Distortion Plugin
The Advanced Lens Distortion Plugin in SynthEyes 2024.1 offers improved accuracy and performance for lens distortion corrections in After Effects. This plugin now handles complex lens profiles for a wider range of cameras more effectively, enabling more precise match moving and compositing.
3D Meshes and Textures
SynthEyes 2024.1 offers enhanced support for importing and using 3D meshes and textures directly within After Effects. This feature allows users to integrate more detailed and realistic 3D elements into their compositions, streamlining the pipeline from tracking to final render.
Updated Plugin Capability
The update also introduces expanded plugin integration capabilities, improving compatibility and workflow efficiency between SynthEyes and After Effects. This includes support for newer After Effects scripting and data exchange methods, enabling easier automation and customization of tracking and compositing tasks.
The Advanced Distortion plugin in SynthEyes 2024.1 supports all lens models, animated distortion, and off-center lenses in After Effects. It streamlines undistorted and re-distorted workflows in 3D tracking. To access this feature, the AE version selector in SynthEyes 2024.1 should be set to "Beta after 2024.1".
The Advanced Distortion plugin also imports lens distortion settings directly from After Effects. SynthEyes 2024.1 now supports Apple M1-M3 processors, and the update can be downloaded via the Boris FX Hub.
