Introduction - Video Stitching, Action Removal and New Camera Moves

This article is a brief showcase of some features of Panoptica.

Panoptica is a step up from photo stitching tools: it works with video. It processes video and it creates new video from old.

It works by analysing the properties of a video clip's camera move: the 3-axis rotation and zoom. Once this information has been reconstructed, the frames from the video clip can automatically be registered with one another.

We start with a short example clip of a horse and rider.

A second horse has wandered into the film, which we would like to remove. In the following clip, the horse has been removed by Panoptica

We would also like to produce a locked off camera move. In the following clip, we have created a locked off camera move using Panoptica

Its also possible to convert the original from 4:3 to 16:9, at the same time as smoothing the original camera move
