i'd say go with syntheyes. for the money, it's full featured enough for my use let alone its use on some major feature films. I think matchmover pro got killed off when autodesk bought em. boujou and pftrack are the only other players in town and both are quite pricey.
download the syntheyes demo and check it for yourself

^Thanks, will do. I think SynthEyes rings in around $400, which I think I can swing. Wasn't so sure about PFTrack. It looks fabulous, but I can't find a price, it's one of those "talk to a rep" situations, so it's gotta be steep.

SynthEyes is really good, and has a solid auto track feature...but there is a steep learning curve in order to know how to adjust the auto track and more manual options.
- I hear you. I am hoping that my other chops are up enough, that I can't get into it in not too much time.harlequino

oh for choss..
this is the docu i needed your help for
http://player.omroep.nl/?aflID=9…
was on tv yesterday and now online (wait for ad to finish).. most of it is in english so you can watch it.thanks for helping me.
:)(i did the title in the intro (not "tegenlicht") but the "lockerbie revisited" part with the car driving over the graveyard..
and a lot of the laptop shots i needed to fill in and motion track in sync with handheld camera..)Thanks a lot again, chossy.
- this docu has a lot of stuff in style of the tv programme that features this, so very few of my hand in this one..janne76

yeah.. there will also be a an english version out since this one will go to tv stations abroad as well and to some film festivals.
the international one will feature some more of my art directed titles.. (hopefully.. if the editor can be arsed as this one was extremely exhaustive for the poor fella).anyway, the director was super happy with my help :) so i am happy too. i also got to design the poster as well, but the timespan for that was really really short.. :/
- it's really good, got a link to the poster?version3
- not yet. only an email version yet. still waiting for additional copy.. poster was very much approved though..janne76
- like i said, both editor/director are very very exhausted now, so poster for festival/dvd sleeve will be finalized later..janne76
- and thx btw.. i will pass it on.. :)janne76

oh btw, track is called "Moving On" by Nick Cave/Warren Ellis for the movie The Assassination of Jesse James. Fantastic music.

it really depends on the shot you are tracking, for 3d tracking pftrack has done us well but we almost never need it. For 2d tracking we use ae for really basic, usually single point tracking (And eye ball the rest) or use mocha which works pretty damn well. what i find helpful especially for shittier footage is to stabilize the shot first so that there arent any huge jumps that will throw off the track. Also usually even if there are you can go back in and hand track sections and get a pretty desireable result.
- thanks a lot man. too late now (as date on thread indicates) but advice is usable for future reference. :)janne76
