SynthEyes Essentials - 04 Proper QC and Export [Boris FX]

In this next chapter of Getting Started with SynthEyes, we look at a proper QC workflow and how to export. We also look at the importance of lens distortion and the best ways to undistort and re-distort your shot. SynthEyes expert, Matthew Merkovich shares his efficient techniques for building and refining meshes.

• After finishing the 3D track, use SynthEyes' rendering tools to create a preview movie to see if the camera track matches the footage.
• The Lens Workflow button in SynthEyes helps automate the undistortion process and prepares the project for export.
• When rendering a preview, it's recommended to use a black background for the 3D viewport.
• You can export the 3D scene to other compositing applications like Fusion for further refinement.
• Fusion uses nodes to represent different elements in the compositing process.
• SynthEyes offers options for handling lens distortion during export, including using dedicated distortion nodes or ST Maps (displacement maps).
• After exporting a redistorted wireframe preview, it's important to perform Quality Control (QC) to ensure everything matches up as expected.
• The final step is to deliver the undistorted footage (as an image sequence) and other necessary elements.
• What to look out for exporting SynthEyes to Blender
