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.
