SynthEyes Manual Alignment and Coordinate System Setup

Russ Andersson demonstrates how to manually align a shot and set up a coordinate system in SynthEyes, particularly useful for natural scenes without clear reference points. Starting with an auto solve, Russ shows how to clean up and refine trackers. He then explains repositioning the entire scene using the "whole mode" to place a specific tracker at the origin. By adjusting the scene's orientation and ensuring the lock mode is off, he demonstrates tweaking the "up" direction and keeping the orientation stable using tracker locks. Russ details how to ensure these adjustments persist through subsequent solves by setting seed and lock points. This tutorial is invaluable for achieving precise manual alignment and maintaining it throughout your workflow.
