In my editing, I frequently make use of camera automation to simulate pans/zooms across still screenshots - much quicker and better quality than actually trying to film the same with a camera pointed at a monitor. The problem is with faster pans (and to some extent, zooms), there is a fair amount of strobing that takes place that makes viewing unpleasant.
After experimenting with the Interpolate and Time Average plugins to no avail, I think what is needed is a motion blur plugin, and I've started working on one. The easiest way I can see to approach the problem is to use/merge the existing code from the Linear Blur and Zoom Blur plugins, then tie the radius/angle values to the deltas of the camera automation X,Y and Z coordinates for each frame. The problem is - how to get access to the automation values for a frame from within the plugin framework. Anyone have a suggestion/example? -Joe _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
