When PFHoe 1.0 was launched back in 2004 it revolutionised the automatic match moving market. For the first time anyone could use industry leading technology to bring computer animation and live video together in a seemless fashion. Using our expertise in this field, we designed a simple to use 'press the button and let it rip' application built on technology proven in countless high end production faclities.

PFHoe 2.1 adds an even faster and more robust tracking engine along with new UI improvments making PFHoe even easier to use. Users can now hover the mouse over a feature point to find out its name and position. All major exports are included with PFHoe including both new native Cinema 4D and FBX exports. Improved, Blender and Nuke support are also included in 2.1. The Pixel Farm XML format is an open export for greater flexiblity and with support for HD footage you can take your work to the next level. Never wanting to stand still we have added a new focal length estimation tool that helps you solve those tricky shots in the same intuative way as Hoe always did.

For those with more demanding needs we have PFHoePro. A new application designed for professional users who just need automatic match moving. Like PFHoe, PFHoePro uses the same engine as PFTrack adding the ability to work with image sequences as well as QuickTime and AVI files. Along side all the features in PFHoe 2.1, PFHoePro adds the ability to add user defined feaures for corner pinning etc. You are able to re-solve a scene after getting rid of bad features and we have added exports to high-end systems such as Flame.

PFHoe 2.1 is available for Windows and as a Universal Binary for OS X. PFHoePro is also available for Linux.
