EDIT in Admin Edit in WPMake smooth pans and zooms on hi-res stills.
MovingPicture allows documentary and industrial filmmakers to pan and zoom on high-resolution images (up to 8,000 by 8,000 pixels), ala “Ken Burns” straight from your Avid timeline.
Rather than use an expensive and bulky motion-control rig or animation stand, often requiring expensive photographic prints, MovingPicture takes high-resolution scanned images and allows for perfectly repeatable pans and zoom moves on a desktop computer.
MovingPicture is very simple to use. The image appears on the screen. Dragging and sizing a framing box icon on top of this image changes the view, adding keyframes onto the timeline.
Since you can preview the motion in real-time without any rendering, the design process is very rapid. All motion paths are smooth, splined, and tapered. Motion is field-rendered to sub-pixel accuracies, with full alpha channel support.
MovingPicture Highlights
- Easy to use and learn – Fast intuitive user interface with real-time preview of moves and full image rotation and 3D Camera for spins and skews.
- Silky smooth moves – All motion paths are smooth, splined, and tapered. Complex moves on curved or straight paths and completely controllable ease-ins/outs.
- Runs as a plug-in to your Avid – MovingPicture is an AVX2 plug-in compatible with all Avid editors, Mac and Windows. There are no huge movie files to import, and the moves can be instantly changed and saved with the show.
- High-resolution images – Handles images up to 8,000 by 8,000 pixels with 32-bit full-color sub-pixel rendering and alpha channel support.
- Truly cross-platform – Works in PAL, NTSC, SD, HD, and 24P. MovingPicture is available on all popular platforms: Windows (2000, XP, 7, 10) and Macintosh OS X (up to Catalina). You can even offline on one platform and seamlessly online on another.
- Advanced features – Motion blur, multiple processor support, contrast/brightness controls, and automatic video-safe color adjustment.
