Tracking with Ease. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Restaurants | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 21, 2022 **What do you like best about SynthEyes?** Honestly, the most helpful thing about Synthe eyes is how much the program has allowed me to see and visualize the camera movement during and after shots. I can position it in places where the program shows me the most objects. The tracking is accurate enough so that we can get different shots with different settings. **What do you dislike about SynthEyes?** In my honest opinion, I think tracking at the moment is still very "new" and still needs to be developed more in this field. I find myself needing to shoot multiple shots over and over again. The layout of the app could be optimized, but overall I think this program is worth the time. **What problems is SynthEyes solving and how is that benefiting you?** Tracking is so important for videos and VFX, that SynthEyes is helping. Commercials for the business come out better than if it was just static, and we've used SynthEyes over and over again. There are problems that SynthEyes don't solve, but we work around it with other applications. ### 2. Dated but very functional **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Motion Pictures and Film | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 19, 2022 **What do you like best about SynthEyes?** SynthEyes' tracking algorithm is generally quite accurate, and has an array of options for different types of pattern identification (though I rarely find myself using anything other than rgb). Solving is also generally quite intelligent, although I do find I sometimes get different results when solving the same shot with the same settings? By far the best features are the use of survey shots or reference geometry, which allow for significantly more accurate solves on shots that otherwise seem impossible. **What do you dislike about SynthEyes?** I have thought for some time that SynthEyes (and other tracking software) would benefit from the ability to set up camera rigs as they were present on set to get more accurate results on a rail or dolly. It does have a constraints system that I use to similar effect, but it becomes tedious to try to layout your scene so that the X camera move will align with the X constraint and then re-solving your shot with these constraints applied. Such a rigging system would also account for the difference between the sensor and lens, and the rotational pivot of the camera on tripod shots, as this can very quickly become the bane of your existence on some nodal shots. As long as this feature remains unavailable, I think I am still going to have to keep taking 1/10 nodal shots into Maya post-track to counter-animate to account for this pivot misalignment. **What problems is SynthEyes solving and how is that benefiting you?** SynthEyes allows for very accurate tracks and solves in tricky situations. I have tracked shots where the only features available are bokeh from specular highlights, and SynthEyes has somehow managed to pull a solve from my slide-y mess of trackers. Its relatively low bar for entry means it is quite a palletable introduction into the world of supervised tracking for users who previously lived in After Effects or Nuke, with plenty of features available to extend your knowledge further - I, personally, could never go back to these softwares for a 3D track. ### 3. Not the best but it works **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Juvenal V. | Field Service Technician, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 25, 2018 **What do you like best about SynthEyes?** It really has a simple user interface. Tools and features are really not that hard to find. I really like how well the exported tracks work with programs like Maya and Lightwave. **What do you dislike about SynthEyes?** The wonkiness of how it'll some times track terrible footage just fine, but yet it will struggle with clear defined footage at other times. It's a hit and miss, even when tinkering with the footage grading to make trackable objects more noticeable, it will completely ignore them and break the track. **Recommendations to others considering SynthEyes:** If your built in trackers in your compositors are not giving you the results you need, think about giving SynthEyes a try. It's not 100% but having several tools ready to use as alternatives can really save you a lot in production costs. **What problems is SynthEyes solving and how is that benefiting you?** I've used syntheyes to solve tracks for integrating CG elements to live action footage. Exporting the track to programs like Maya and Lightwave is farely easy with minimal tweaking in those programs to get it to work. When it does work great, it's helped cut production time significantly thus giving me time to focus on other elements on a shot. - [View SynthEyes pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/syntheyes/reviews?filters%5Bnps_score%5D%5B%5D=4§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-08-14+12%3A14%3A11+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=0b74fc94-543b-41a1-9b64-194d4193fb5b&secure%5Btoken%5D=d33b6fc8c1e9454b3455e6ebace33c8ca2e38fb6d8e4f2fb85bbfa23202f5605&format=llm_user) ## SynthEyes Features **Design** - Sculpting - Topology - Drawing - Brush Variety - Effects **Move** - Animate - Render - Views **Store & Manage** - Pipeline - Controls - Template library **Generative AI** - AI Text-to-Image - AI Text-to-3D ## Top SynthEyes Alternatives - [Blender](https://www.g2.com/products/blender/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (310 reviews) - [Unity](https://www.g2.com/products/unity/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (353 reviews) - [Meshy](https://www.g2.com/products/meshy/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (3,269 reviews)
