"With the launch of MatchMover Professional 3.0, we're bringing the very
best in matchmoving technology to top-ranking professionals across the
world, and on all platforms." said Luc Robert, REALVIZ CTO. "In addition,
the introduction of our MatchMover Pro Rental Program means, that even the
'financially challenged' can now access this great application."
Swedish visual effects house, Swiss, recently used MatchMover Professional
for their work on 3 commercial spots for Renault Twingo, and pop artist,
Moby's video promos "In This World" & "Sunday" from the album '18'. "REALVIZ
MatchMover Professional was the only product for us to use." says Swiss CEO,
Josefin Varga.
"We have tried other similar products, but none could meet our requirements.
We based all our research, planning and testing on MatchMover Professional
and rely heavily on it as a product. For our needs it solves what we
undertake, and does it in a good way. The easy workflow and the
manual/automatic approach are easy to understand, and even a person with no
former experience of camera tracking could perform a good job after a little
instruction. MatchMover Professional helped us to maintain the short time
span that we had to work on these projects. A real time-saver."
