hah, lol at 3:15i think this is incredible. that pool example, is great! it's as if every object in the entire scene is a slider! amazing! great for traffic scenes. background stabilization is great too!

Nice.

This is simply a way of focusing frame changes. Instead of focusing to changes in time, you focus on changes in motion for a particular object. That allows you to see the motion as it pertains to particular object and keeps you from losing your position on the timeline.

ITS A WORK IN PROGRESS!

How could you remove the slider? This technique only works within a single scene.

First off, you're only seeing a product in development here. Second, this beats any interface limiting objects, like a slider bar. The idea of clicking on the content of the video and manipulating the frames on display gives way to slider-free interfaces for the near future.

Hmm... yeah, I just watched it again and you might be right.

Is only part of it moving? In the football example or the car example (02:16), it affects the whole video, does it not? It is neat how it recognizes objects and keeping them in focus, but I guess I just don't get what's so terribly special about that.

GalacticQuest (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

Because only one part of the video is moving. For instance, you could have a video of ten cars racing around a track, but then pause it and drag only one car the rest of the way. This is ingenious. As a filmmaker, I can see a lot of good applications for this and I hope this software hits the mainstream market soon. I'm impressed.
