Tracking, stabilisation, rotoscoping and compositing are a fundamental part of visual effects work

On average visual effects projects, monet will result in a 5% increase in profits by enabling you to deliver on more complex shots whilst producing higher quality in the same or less time on every shot, reducing the risk of not delivering on clients expectations.

monet complements your existing investment in post production hardware/software by being compatible with most other packages, such as Autodesk Discreet, Avid DS, Adobe After Effects, eyeon Fusion 5, Quantel generationQ, Apple Shake and other compositing and editing systems.

Below you will find a selection of videos that show monet in action and explain why monet is such a unique product. Once you have watched these videos, why not download monet and try it for yourself?

You can use monet in 3 ways within your facility

1. Use it as your ultimate 2D tracker and export 2D tracking data to other compositing packages
2. Use it to generate individual elements, such as tracked elements, shadow passes, highlight passes etc. and export these to other compositing and editing packages
3. Use it as a standalone tool for tracking elements into shots, exporting the result directly to e.g. an editing package
