Somebody bought a new adobe premier plugin?

I'm guessing he used the stabilization within Adobe After Affects.

>> ^EMPIRE:
that's not only a really cool slide, the video is also very well shot too. I guess the guy has one of those good hand steady-cam rigs.

Yeah, the stabilization walking up those stairs was amazing. From the shadow it looked like a normal camcorder, but I suppose he could have had a heavy attachment on the bottom of it.

>> ^deathcow:

not his best but still odd./.... what software does he use


Adobe After Effects, which is basically Photoshop for video.

Yesterday, Adobe Flash did crash on my machine while I had videos running and the lounge open. It was much later after restarting my Mac, etc. that I was able to access the color mixer windows on my profile and preferences. So, I think Adobe flash must have been buggy.

@rychan is correct to distinguish defocus from motion blur here. I had the opportunity to get lunch with this guy who is also working on this topic for adobe when he came down to give a talk about it. It's cool work for sure. The guy quickly talked about how he managed to get nasa to fund taking a picture of Earth from space using all ground based equipment by taking images of the reflection off the moon. He's definitely one of the wildest cats out there.

@vaire2ube Yea, that stuff is cool too. The best is that you can turn the lenses around to make floating holographs like these.

and to avoid the problem in the first place

No, actually. The video is about motion blur. The Lytro technology is relevant to defocus blur.

By the way, this stuff is apparently partly based on this upcoming ICCV paper:

And, like all science in the media, this silly demo does a terrible job at letting you know that this has been an active research area for many years with many research groups building on each other's work to advance the state of the art.

If you have your User Agent set to Mobile Safari it might load HTML 5 for those hosts that we're doing iframes for - YouTube, Vimeo et al. We might be able to force HTML 5 as an option in the future, not sure.>> ^marinara:
10 minutes after i read this, Adobe flash crashed.
I ask again, when is HTML 5 coming to videosift?



VideoSift iPad/iPhone app in the works?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

The fisheye lens certainly doesn't hurt.

I see that distortion, too, but it's not a fisheye.
For one, the distortion is near the center of the image. More importantly, it keeps shifting around throughout the video.
I think we might just be seeing the effects of crappy digital equipment.


I believe it's a combination of a wobbly iPhone 4 and the latest warp stabilizer found in Adobe After Effects 5.5.

give me sony vegas or adobe premier anyday, I hated final cut when I used it in college

I actually had more fun with Sony Vegas, although adobe premier was good

Thanks everyone.

I'm going back to using ACDSee. I just installed it on my windows laptop and built all the galleries I needed in under 5 minutes. Having created all the thumbnails and HTML pages I needed I only have to go in and tweak the headers on each thumbnail pages using the text option in Dreamweaver.

Thanks for all your suggestions.

Sorry Adobe
