SynthEyes Triumphs at NAB 2025, Securing the Future's Best of Show Award
In the ever-evolving world of visual effects, SynthEyes 2025 is set to make a significant impact with its latest release. While specific details about AI masking, workflow speedups, and export efficiency for SynthEyes 2025 have not been announced yet, the update promises to bring enhancements that will streamline matchmoving and tracking tasks.
One of the most anticipated features is the revamped roto masking system, which has been guided by matchmove/tracking artist Kalvin Kingdon. This system is expected to provide instant AI masking, eliminating tedious manual rotoscoping tasks. Additionally, SynthEyes 2025 will include an AI-powered Mask ML tool for quickly isolating moving objects and dynamic elements like water and clouds.
The new release also offers a versatile, cost-effective, and future-focused solution for both indie filmmakers and major facilities. With the inclusion of a Built-In Head Mesh Asset, close-up head tracking tasks will be sped up significantly. Furthermore, the Batch processing feature will allow artists to focus their efforts on creative tasks, rather than being bogged down by time-consuming export processes.
SynthEyes 2025 also boasts optimized matchmove pipelines, thanks to the new Multi-Export interface. This interface allows for the automation of key tasks such as tracking, solving, and rendering, significantly boosting matchmove productivity. Project manager Moritz Fortmann provides tips for organizing projects effectively using the Project Selector, Project Tag Manager, and Workflow Presets Manager.
Elizabeth Postol explains how to use the Mask ML tool, automated features, and the built-in head mesh asset for efficient head tracking and seamless exporting to 3D packages. The Easier Exports feature provides a single user-friendly interface for accessing and managing export settings, further simplifying the process for artists.
While SynthEyes 2025 itself has not been detailed with new major AI masking or workflow speedup features in recent official updates, its integration with other Boris FX tools, such as Mocha Pro, suggests that improvements in one area may indirectly benefit SynthEyes users. For instance, Mocha Pro 2025.5 includes expanded camera solving features, which may improve interoperability with SynthEyes workflows.
Boris Yamnitsky, Founder and CEO of Boris FX, states that the Future Best of Show Award at NAB represents the hard work and innovative spirit of the entire Boris FX team. SynthEyes 2025 offers both cutting-edge innovation and reliable fundamentals refined through years of real-world use, making it an exciting development for the visual effects industry.
Technology advances in SynthEyes 2025 are set to extend beyond matchmoving and tracking, as the new Mask ML tool offers AI-powered isolation of moving objects and dynamic elements like water and clouds, contributing to the realm of entertainment. In sports broadcasting, the enhanced head tracking features and optimized matchmove pipelines brought by SynthEyes 2025 can lead to more dynamic and immersive experiences.
