"Hype was indispensable for us on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, especially for the wide angle shots where we needed to put CG squirrels on the edge of frame. We tried all our off-the-shelf tracking software but they just did not model the lens distortion accurately enough. With Hype we got a perfect track first time and every time."
New! Watch Matthew give a demo of how easy it is to measure lens distortion using Hype. Get a real flavour for it by seeing it in action.
Requires Quicktime 7.

Hype Batch is an add-on product with which you can distort and undistort image sequences on the command line using the lens measurements you made with Hype. Functionally it is identical to the distort/undistort tool integrated into Hype.
Use the power of your existing renderfarm to process as many images simultaneously as you have Hype Batch licenses.
Hype Batch is a small fraction of the price of Hype making it ideal for processing large numbers of images across multiple machines.
