Until recently a minor problem has been that you put a video in and get a video 'still' out. The clever part is the way that the images are processed to align the different parts and stabilize the image. So you can pick out one part of the video to move against a frozen background, say, or you can create short loops of motion and other special effects. The idea is that you can map which parts of the video display for which relative time periods in the finished cliplet. Next you simply outline areas that you want to be still or moving. This is an interactive app that uses semi-automated methods to give users the power to create 'cliplets'-a type of imagery that sits between stills and video from handheld videos.Īll you have to do is download the app and then drag and drop a video clip onto the work area. This work provides a creative lens used to focus on important aspects of a moment by performing spatiotemporal compositing and editing on video-clip input. Video is the traditional method for recording durations of time, but the subjective 'moment' that one desires to capture is often lost in the chaos of shaky camera work, irrelevant background clutter, and noise that dominates most casually recorded video clips.
A still photograph is a limited format for capturing moments that span an interval of time.
