@winter32842 yes O.O

[rspk25]

very cool

[cminormusician]

i got the demo and it pretty sweet

[scienceapps]

interessant !!!

[robinsfr]

Indeed, so simple, but so convenient. I wouldn't have thought of using the motion vectors between frames for faster navigation.

[TheNesteaPlunge]

and what's the point? i really don't get it.

[francoisdamville]

Simple et brilliant

[videofreakcologne]

Now thats a realy cool Player i whant to have ^.^

[rechtschreibteufel]

no seriusley ... realy impressive tech

[ResistancY]

wow 1n

[Rigbyband]

High Five!

[tetavo]

hah, lol at 3:15

i 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!

[kolozov]

wow

[hypersensitive23]

Nice.

[mutualdisdain]

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.

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.

[dtandersen]

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

[mario0318]

ITS A WORK IN PROGRESS!

[Diruo]

How this is very different from moving the slider back and forth... ?

[GalacticQuest]

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.

[Diruo]

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]

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

[georgelpreput]

I just hope word of this goes around enough for us to get to see mainstream video software implement the technique.

[jonberry1976]

Wow...

[FastlaneTV]

thats pretty crazy ..
