Batch Processing Optical Flow shots

Any one know if it's possible to batch process a lot of shots with optical flow somehow? I have over 20 clips that require various speed ramps and would rather batch them up versus having to come back every time. Any help of ideas would be great. Thanks!

Specifically, 8 bytes per pixel.
So - a 720x480 frame takes 720x480x8 or about 2.8 megabytes per frame. Times 30 frames per second, times 10 seconds and you're getting close to a gigabyte. Multiply that by 20 clips and you can see how you might start filling up your drive pretty fast. AND remember, the ENTIRE clip is analyzed, even if you only use 10 seconds.
So - make sure your clips are limited to the material you are ACTUALLY going to use.
make sense?

  • CS5  Batch Processing Photo Editing work flow

    I am relatively new to CS5 and I am intested in automating the correct  gross  photo editing work flow process [ie., levels contrast, color , noise, sharpening etc] once I have made RAW corrections for each photo.I hope this is as simple as refering me to a tutorial
    Tank

    Not sure exactly your are looking for, a template or an action to apply to other images. In Bridge/tools/photoshop there are a number of options.  The image processor is quite powerful.  There is also the option to make a metadata template to apply settings to other images.
    Do a google search for batch process edits Bridge and see what suits your fancy.

  • Apply optical flow to like 50 clips (batch filter)????

    Is that possible? Maybe I should have posted this in motion, but i just dont know. I have like 50 clips that I want to slow down, is there a way to add like a batch filter for optical flow to slow them all down at once or do i have to do them one by one in motion or something?

    From here:
    "Flexible retiming controls in Compressor let you speed up, slow down, or fit your video to a time duration."
    Adjust "retiming" to suit. Build a Compressor droplet.

  • Batch Process Change Canvas Size Buggy

    I have 300+ products shots that need to go up to our website.
    Using FW CS3 I was able to resize and optimize both full size
    images and the thumbnails. The issue is due to our website setup
    the thumbnails are expected to be exactly 100x100. If the canvas
    size is irregular the image gets stretched or squeezed when served
    up on the site.
    So I created a custom action to set the canvas size to 100 x
    100 with a white background and to expand from the center out. When
    I run this manually everything is ducky. But when I add it to my
    batch process the actual content of the thumbnails moves from image
    to image. Some items are centered fine, some are too far left or
    too far right (or high,low) some are shifted so much that they are
    actually cut off to the left or right. There seems to be no rhyme
    or reason to it.
    Here is how the batch is set up:
    It grabs the original file ( a press resolution PSD file) and
    fit to size to 100 x 100. Then I run the command to set canvas size
    to 100x100 white background. And then it exports it to optimized
    jpeg. I have tried running the actions separately. And when I just
    run the fit to size and optimization as a batch the thumbs look
    fine no weird positioning. So I know it is the command.
    Any ideas?

    Thankyou Heath
    If I choose scale > scale to fit area > then choose a maximum width or height, that works for that part of the process.
    Percentage doesn’t work, because I need them to be a particular size (either width or height, doesn’t matter , as long as nither of them exceeds 00px)
    For the part that I then want to find the smallest measurement (width or height) and make a particular size, there doesn’t seem to be any way that I can find in FW to do that.
    But, after searching on line, I found an app that does all that and more, its brilliant.  It will find the largest side, the smallest side, or whatever and change it to what you want and rescale the other side to fit.

  • Check settings combinations to achieve good Optical Flow HDV 50i -ProRes422

    Hi Guys
    RE: Motion 3, HDV 50i, standard ProRes 422, optical flow
    I'm trying to decide which combination of settings I should choose in order to ensure the highest possible standard of optical flow-treated video for a video clip which just features live people - no graphics.
    So far my results haven't been as 'smooth' as I would have liked. Below I have detailed my steps taken - if you could recommend which combination of 'lighting', 'field rendering', 'motion blur' or 'frame blending' I should choose I'd appreciate it.
    1. I captured my Canon XHA1 HDV 50i video via HDV - standard Prores 422
    2. I edited in FCP6 with standard Prores 422
    3. I sent a video clip to Motion 3, new project and chose Broadcast HD 1920 x 1080 25 fps field order Top (Upper First)
    4. I treated the video clip with optical flow to slow it down.
    5. Export as standard Apple ProRes 422 movie.
    Prior to exporting which of 'lighting', 'field rendering', 'motion blur' or 'frame blending' would anyone recommend please?
    For reference, in this forum David Bogie kindly stated the difference between the choices. I have included his post below. However I just want to be sure I'm making the correct choices, as I'm a bit confused about the '50i' (interlaced) aspect of my video footage.
    Here is David's post:
    "lighting
    field rendering
    motion blur
    frame blending"
    These are options you need to use when you know why you want to use them.
    If you have lights on in your scene, you want to render them. If you have no lights (and no camera) you do not need to activate lights. why does the switch exist at all? I render without lights for preview purposes.
    Fields are necessary for interlaced formats. You must know if your production format is progressive or interlaced.
    Motion blur enhances the illusion of movement by simulating image smear caused by an open shutter. You get the illusion at the expense of rendering time.
    Frame blending is only necessary if you have video clips in your scene and even then you don't need it unless you've changed the speed of the clip. Sort of. "
    Zak Peric also kindly posted, although I think his post relates more to graphics as opposed to interlaced video footage. Nonethless, here is his post:
    "Just use animation codec + alpha if you have alpha channel if not use animation codec millions of colours. This is the best codec for best quality. Also 4444 is a very good codec to use as it supports alpha channel but gives you smaller file sizes. Use always BEST from the render window, if you want additional motion blur then switch it on in render view. Be advised it takes much longer to render with motion blur on."
    Any tips would be really appreciated.
    Warm regards
    Peter

    Hi Mark
    Thanks for your kind prompt feedback.
    "You say you sent a clip to Motion, but then you say you chose project settings - I don't understand this. If you really "sent' a clip to Motion using Final Cut Pro's "Send to Motion" command, you don't need to set project settings - Motion automatically creates a project with settings that match the FCP sequence. "
    Okay I understand - sorry for any confusion caused - I had already used "Send to Motion" and applied Optical Flow to a clip which I then exported from Motion 3 as a Quicktime file. I was planning to repeat this process afresh, but am interested in which settings you could recommend from 'field rendering', 'motion blur' etc that might be applicable to my Optical Flow-analysed footage prior to exporting it as a Quicktime file.
    As regards exporting my Motion work as a separate Quicktime file, I prefer to do this so as to avoid the waiting for it to render in FCP.
    The already-optical-flow-analysed footage is actually pretty good (the original clips from FCP6 have already been stripped down to short durations to suit Optical Flow), but want to to double-check which of the 'field rendering', 'motion blur' etc combinations I should ideally choose to obtain best results, just in case I'm neglecting something that could otherwise make the quality even better?
    Once I finish this video project I'm on I'll definitely be going for a clean install of SL and FCS3.
    So, based on these choices...
    lighting
    field rendering
    motion blur
    frame blending
    ...I'm thinking that for my optical flow-treated video I won't need lighting, as it's mostly applicable to graphics.
    I don't have any graphics in these optical-flow video clips. It's just moving video footage of people.
    Am not sure about whether to choose Field Rendering (interlaced PAL 50i HDV - ProRes422 video).
    Am not sure whether to choose Motion Blur.
    Am not sure whether to choose Frame Blending.
    Any tips would be really appreciated, and thanks again for your valuable feedback.

  • Optical flow equivalent for slo-mo?

    Hi all...
    I have been very interested in discussions about really amazing slo-mo footage, and I did post here recently about my 60fps 7-d footage and how to work with it. I did a test and it worked out well.
    Here is my query;
    Instead of paying thousands for a Phantom camera... ---amazing really... you should check out Tom Guilmettes new site and see his "locked in a hotel room with a phantom' video.. awsome results-- I have seen that with a Final Cut Pro plugin called 'Optical Flow' I saw 7-d footage slowed down to 1% of original speed!!!! and it looked great!!!
    Admittedly, that is far too slow for any useable purpose (for me) but it would open up all kinds of great possibilities.. without the humoungous expense of these pro cameras..
    Is there a similar plugin like Optical flow for Premiere pro6? Or any other workflows (programs) to get my slow-mo's down as if I had shot at say 120FPS instead of only the maximum 60 FPS of my 7-D?
    Thanks all...

    Timewarp in after effects is almost as good as twixtor (it's got few tweaks for difficult scenes but does pretty well).   Unfortunately you do have to drop in to After Effects to use it
    I was rather hoping it was going to be in CS6 like Warp Stablizer is, because those were the two effects I used most.

    You can apply a cross dissolve between the images in one shot. Other transitions require that you copy and paste or option drag to duplicate.

  • Batch processing - HDR feature Lightroom 6 - Is this possible?

    We shoot a lot of real estate interiors; is there a way to batch process sets of images (in this case 5 per shot) in Lightroom 6. I did vaguely remember seeing a video from Adobe saying that you could line up the new shot when the first was merging but that's not feasible for large batch runs and given that I am affected by the AMD Radeon problem, I would like to automate the process and not wait 4 hours to process a batch. All tips and suggestions welcome., thank you in advance.

    Some others have asked for that -- add your vote and opinion to this topic in the official Adobe feedback forum: LIGHTROOM - Batch HDR
    Also, I don't think the GPU is being used to accelerate HDR and panoramas: GPU notes for Lightroom CC (2015). So you're not missing out on that score.

  • What is it best to feed Motion for good slow motion with optical flow?

    What I mean is: what type of footage does the retiming work with best? I shot some footage in 1920x1080p using a shutter speed of 1/1000 under the assuption that having each frame as sharp as possible (little to no motion blur) would improve the vector analysis of optical flow. Unfortunately, the resulting slowdown isn't very smooth. (50% slowdown is decent but not great and anything slower looks choppy). I don't know if this was due to the shutter speed and progressive frames or simply the nature of the material (A swimmer doing the butterfly stroke, i.e a lot of splashing water) My first test for opticalflow retiming was 1920x1080i at 1/60 shutter (pouring water in a glass). Results were a bit blurry but a lot smoother. Any tips? (interlaced or progressive? slow or fast shutter?) Thanks.

    Thanks for tip David. I work at a middle school, we shoot a lot of district functions with three cameras then use the multiclip function of FCP. If I bought three of these cameras do you think they will work well in that environment? here is our workflow:
    1. Sync cameras with a clapper at the start of show.
    2. Import into FCP
    3. Mark inpoint at the sound of the clapper
    4. Create the multiclip sequence and edit
    We have done 50 or so shows like this with 14 year olds as the editors and the results are very nice. I would like to move to the hard drive based camera. Being in education we are on a tight budget. Think three of these camerass would work in this environment?
    Thanks so much for your expert advice.

  • Batch processing web pages from jpgs made from color corrected Camera Raw files

    I processed and color corrected a set of photos shot in camera raw, then saved as tiffs. Then I set Photoshop to Batch process them into a web slide show. The images turned out looking like the raw files before processing....kind of desaturated, since they were shot on a grey day. So then i re-saved the raw files as jpgs and hypersaturated them to see if that would produce better results, but it did not. They looked almost as grey as the original raw files. I usually add saturation to files that will end up on the web, because ImageReady always seems to desaturate color.
    I'm running Mac OS4.1 and CS2.
    Thanks, Suzanne

    Suzanne,
    Try
    converting your images to the sRGB color space before processing and/or saving them for web display. ALWAYS. Remember to use CONVERT to profile not

  • Batch Processing in Photoshop CS3

    With ImageReady abandoned and my CS2 Suite completely trashed by the installation and uninstallation of CS3 InDesign Beta I am stuck now with
    all my ImageReady droplets dead! I have tried my best to set up a comparable batch process in PS, but am unable to find two important things
    1) resize the photo to constrain to width only of 360 pixel width (any height is fine)
    # can't fine the constrain to width only or both option
    2) run auto levels
    # This one is fine...
    3) run unsharp mask to precise parameters, 70, radius 0.4, 0 threshold
    # This one is fine...
    4) then save for web jpeg quality 40%, file name lower case
    # This one is fine...
    5) overwrite existing file without asking me and DO NOT keep an original around
    # PS keeps asking to if I want to replace the existing file.. Yes! Please do.. but I don't know how to set up the automation to automatically overwrite the existing file without asking. All these process are on copies of photos, so we want the batch automation to just run over all the files transparently in the background.
    # whether I check or uncheck the "Over-ride Save As commands" PS will always stop and prompt with a "do you want to replace" with "OK" dialog.. how do you force it to over write without asking?

    Linda Rathgeber [PVII] *Adobe Community Expert-Fireworks*
    responded on the FireWorks forum with a very good lesson on
    setting up a batch process in FireWorks. And, Wade, thanks
    for the encouragement on just getting use to
    Fireworks (people tend to just be comfortable with we know..
    that's true)
    But, you see: everyone on our shop (about 20 seats) paid for
    an upgrade to CS3, IR droplets were critical to group collaborative work flows. I can make a droplet, post it to the server on the LAN someone else can make an alias to that droplet on their desktop and drop photos on the icon and ImageReady would boot and run the batch action in the background while they were doing their email.. it was
    just *so* efficient....
    now, true, there are comparable batch processing options in Fireworks and you can save the history to a script... OK, I get that. But, I cannot share that script. I am the only one with a license for Fireworks... so, out of 20 of us on the team, 19 are left without comparable tools...
    It's been confirmed that PhotoShop is missing the end of process features that image ready had (tweak the droplet to constrain to width and height, over write existing files in the same folder without asking etc.)
    So, while Firefox may allow us to save the scripts. I'm the only one who can use it...and delegation of pre-processing is a really important part of the work flow... I have to mount a lot of content to the web... our content generators (whoever they may be) need to have all the photos downsized, sharpened etc, *before* I get them. I does me no good just to have my own FireWorks license... and we certainly cannot pay $2,000.00 for 20 seats of Fireworks, just to regain this small facility to process photos.
    So, however "sweet" Fireworks may be, and I don't doubt it is a wonderful tool... it still cannot compensate for the absence of ImageReady in the CS3 Suite.
    Ideally Adobe will be listening and upgrade the Photoshop batch processing tools ASAP... that's our best solution.
    I have no choice now but to write my own photo processing applications in Runtime Revolution for others to use... which will be great because I can distribute those tools for free! But it's just more work....

  • LR Enfuse Problem - Batch Processing Doesn't work

    Hi,
    I'm relativley new to Lightroom - and am trying to learn about Enfusing multiple different exposures.
    I've followed all the instructions to the letter, and I'm able to enfuse great looking shots if I do them 1 group at a time. However, I've taken heaps of bracketed shots, and want to 'Batch Process' them.
    LR/Enfuse appears to have the functionality, and plenty of people online seem to be able to make it work. But even when I stack each bracketed shot, and select all. It still comes up with the error message below:
    "No Stacks
    No Stacks containing selected photos were found.  If you are trying to blend the selected images then please turn off the batch mode option."
    Any ideas? I'm using Lightroom 5.2
    Cheers, Thomas

    Hi,
    I am not sure what operating system you are using, I don't have any problems with Win 7 x64, but if you are using Apple OS there may be issues with permissions on the folders you are using e.g. the folder for temporary files.
    You may also want to look at his tutorial http://digital-photography-school.com/save-time-with-batch-exposure-blending but disregard the Auto Stacking explained as it is difficult to get it to work.
    I am not sure but it looks as though the stacks in the image you posted are expanded. Make sure the individual stacks are collapsed.
    Apart from that I just don't know as it works fine for me.

  • Optical Flow - Work Flow for Project Tips?

    Hello, I have a 45 second sequence in FC and all of the clips are in Slow motion.
    I sent one clip to Motion to add the optical flow to get the super smooth slow motion. The clip looks 100 times more professional.
    But I have several clips. How can I do them all at once while away from my computer?
    Do I export the movie as self contained, then import into Motion or is there a better way with exporting.

    Andy, so I finally got it rendered on a Dual Core. I did as you said and selected the clips I wanted to send to Motion. I analyzed and when it went back into FCP it was all one long clip instead of individual clips and between two different shots there was 10 frames or so of black throwing off my time line and timing to the beat. Does anyone know what step I may have skipped??
    Also,
    I'm trying to render this simple triple stacked text with a light ray keying from left to right in V1 via filters tab.
    [IMG]http://i42.tinypic.com/33a9u2w.png[/IMG]
    But my comp gives this message: "The effect"Light Rays" failed to render: Your hardware cannot render at the requested size and depth"
    REALLY???
    Just plane confused. Is it a preference thang?

  • Batch Processing of records using JDBC adapter

    Dear all,
    We are working on JDBC-JDBC scenario and the flow is as below. Source is ORACLE and Target is SQL SERVER.
