I’ve been thinking about my last post.
I do a lot of hand held shooting, which I feed through the AE motion stabilising routines.
Kind of a pain cause AE needs to examine each frame to track the movements.
I know that Red is able to record lens movement in the metadata stream.
What if they installed an accelerometer into Scarlet and recorded the operator’s movements in the metadata.
This data feed could be picked up by a Post app, and used to smooth out the motion in the video. Not just up/down right/left and XY angle but probably Z angle shifts too.
Great for 1080p, and probably good enough to smooth out 2k, depending on how extreme the movements were.
Most of the time I just want to remove vibration, or I get a bit wary after five minutes and my aim starts to wonder, or I just want to straighten the horizon.
Maybe the accelerometer data doesn’t have enough granularity to smooth out the footage completely but it could give the software some pretty good signposts to follow.
Wouldn’t it be bizarre to have AE, or Nuke, or even Max extract the 3D movement of the camera when it was taking a shot and plot that in 3d space? Would it be possible to position the recorded frames in virtual space and because of the resolution of the frames, alter the camera movements a bit?
Add a nice flat pan maybe?
