Point Tracking Gets Smart
Make tough point tracks easier with Point Track ML (AI). Find out how the upgraded classic point tracker helps tackle real-world tracking problems like motion blur, occlusions, objects going off-screen, and changing reference patterns.
Track Objects Fast
Tracking multiple faces and license plates can sound simple until the shot starts moving, people walk in and out of frame, and objects overlap.
Grant Kay shows you how to stop fussing with tons of fixes and work better in just a few clicks using Silhouetteโs Object Tracker with automatic detection and tracking. Download the Python Script
Redefined Beauty Work
Proper beauty retouches require rock-solid tracks. Christoph Zapletal explores how Head Track ML (AI) makes it easier and more precise than ever to perform basic retouches, digital makeup, and more.
Smoother 3D Tracks
Discover how updates to Silhouetteโs 3D Scene node, powered by Boris FX SynthEyes, help you tackle difficult 3D solves and retouches without tedious frame-by-frame adjustments.
Decrypt Cryptomatte
Handling layers and masked objects efficiently can be a hassle. Tighter Cryptomatte integration is here to save you.
Learn how to use it with AI-driven masking and traditional roto, both within Silhouette and with 3rd-party applications that support Cryptomatte.
