Realviz ships MatchMover 2.5 professional

Realviz, a leader in image processing software development, has announced the availability of MatchMover 2.5 Professional.
Realviz MatchMover Professional is the professional way to automatically track 3D camera data and motion from videos and film sequences. Start tracking Automatically, and if necessary, move smoothly back and forth between Automatic and Manual processes, with no interruption of workflow, providing the ease of automatic tracking, with the precision control matchmoving professionals demand.
Realviz MatchMover 2.5 Professional, which launched in July at Siggraph 2002 in San Antonio, has added significant high-end features to the existing product, including the ability to create and handle mattes, to merge multiple instances of tracked features, limit the number of tracks, and add 3D locators without resolving the shot, as well as now offering new export options to programs such as Discreet Flint/ Flame/ Inferno and Apple Shake. A Linux version of MatchMover Professional is also slated for release in January 2003, bringing the application to an even wider audience.
"Since we launched the product in January of this year, there has been an unprecedented level of interest." said Patrick Dumas, Realviz Chief Operating Officer. "People love the flexibility and confidence that MatchMover Professional affords them, as well as drastically reducing the turnaround time on their projects. In a recent case, a client reduced a four-week project to just five days work. In real terms, this is a godsend for the leagues of digital artists out there, working to often impossible deadlines."
