Is there a way to detect motion and set markers automatically?

My video includes walking around with the camera.  I walk, then stop and hold the camera in one area, then pan, then continue walking (and repeat). 
While panning, there is some annoying flicker of vertical objects (beams, poles, whatever).  I can use a horizontal fast blur to fix this, but I only want the blur applied when there is panning (not when the camera is relatively still).  Doing it manually is cumbersome.
Is there a way to detect when motion is going on (over a certain threshold)?  I would like PP to tell me when there is significant motion, and place markers in the points where it begins and ends (when motion goes over a threshold and then when it falls below the threshold).
Thanks, experts!

One thing you can try is to bring your footage into Prelude - it will lay out the entire clip so you can see thumbnail snapshots for the whole clip at once - that might give you a good start to see where there is a lot of motion.  Then, you can add markers very easily at all of those points - and when you send it over to Premiere, the markers will show up on your clip. 
Not automated, but a good workflow to achieve what you are looking for.

  • Is there a way to run Motion and Final Cut Pro on Separate Machines?

    Is there a way to run Motion and Final Cut Pro from the same Final Cut Studio license on separate machines? We hadn't realised when we bought Final Cut Studio that it wouldn't allow this. Our editor doesn't use motion, and while I mainly use After Effects on our motion graphics machine, I was wanting to try using motion for some particle effects. Unfortunately, it won't let me open it while Final Cut is running on our editor's machine. I can understand not letting two copies of same application run under the same serial number at the same time, but it would be nice to be able to use both programs that we own concurrently. At very least it would be good to warn you that this isn't possible in the product description, not in some fine print license agreement once you have already bought the software.

    I do not know of any software, in any platform that can operate from the same license over a network simultaneously.This is the exact reason for the existence of Volume Licensing. If for example a project ran in each one of the included applications from different sources that were not an active network, I doubt you would have a problem.Like, doing a project at work and geting the outcome with the Powerbook at home...Sorta!

  • Is there a way to detect two keys at the same time?

    Is there a way to detect the keys if the user is holding two keys down at the same time?

    yes, but you'll have to check outside of the event loop (i.e. don't check for it in the keyPressed method).
    just use an array of keys that keeps track of which keys are currently down and which are up. you could use a boolean array but I use an int array because... Im not sure I've just done it probably because of my C background. anyway, basic setup:
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.util.*;
    public class MultiKey extends JFrame {
         int keys[];
         public MultiKey() {
              super();
              keys = new int[256];
              Arrays.fill(keys,0); // 0 = key is up
              enableEvents(AWTEvent.KEY_EVENT_MASK);
              show();
         public void processKeyEvent(KeyEvent e) {
              // the 0xff below binds the key code to below 256
              int key = (e.getKeyCode()&0xff);
              if (e.getID() == KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED) {
                   keys[key] = 1; // 1 = key is down
              else if (e.getID() == KeyEvent.KEY_RELEASED) {
                   keys[key] = 0; // 0 = key is up
         protected boolean isKeyDown(int key) {
              return (keys[key] != 0);
         protected boolean isKeyUp(int key) {
              return (keys[key] == 0);
    }so now at any time in your code you can check key state by using the isKeyUp and isKeyDown methods. this is about as close as you get to input polling in java unless you use LWJGL or something similiar ;)
    you can try out a full executable example at my site here - just open up the jar and start holding keys down :)

  • Is there a way to detect a bad http client handle before it locks up LabVIEW?

    The attached VI demonstrates a simple way to hang LabVIEW such that the only way to recover full use of it is to kill the LabVIEW process. LabVIEW version is 11.0.1f2 and this problem will occur in both WinXP and Win7.

  • Is there a way to detect if Excel is busy?

    I have a VI that is testing three products at the same time, and writing data to three different excel spreadsheets.  If more than one subvi is writing to Excel at the same time, I get an error.  Is there a way to detect if Excel is busy, and wait until it is not busy?
    metzler CLAD

    The correct answer is the one that Putnam (and others) suggested: Encapsulate all the logic to perform a single write into a VI that is used wherever you need to write to an Excel file. This structure will guarantee that the code will only be writing to Excel from one place at a time.
    If you don't want to have the different sections of the code waiting for their turn to come up, a variation on the theme would be to create a separate stanalone process that does nothing but write to Excel files. The rest of the code would pass it the data to be written using a queue. With this approach everybody seems to write at the same time, but the standalone process is actually serializing the Excel operations. This approach could even be extended to include the ability to read from files, but that is as they say, "...left as an exercise for the reader..."

  • Is there a way to detect the end of a video?

    Is there a way to detect the end of a video.. .mp4 or youtube? I want to be able to detect the end of a video and then have it do something...ie play on timeline or go to and play symbol.

    For youtube the code would be something like this:
    view-source:calkaweb.herobo.com/video.html
    for HTML5 videos for youtube replace &version=3 with &html5=1 in the youtube URL
    I have no idea how to impletent the youtube code into Edge tho other than an iframe but that wouldn't work I've tried :
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1285212
    You would need to place all of the youtube codes into edge in order for it to work but I duno how to do that and no1 answered the question in the thread I made about it.
    as for MP4/HTML5 video you can use
    var video = document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0];
        video.onended = function(e) {

  • Is there a way we can edit and improve existing youtube videos by using premiere pro? Just simple changes like having professional looking opening and closing credits?

    Is there a way we can edit and improve existing youtube videos by using premiere pro? Just simple changes like having professional looking opening and closing credits?

    Assuming you do not have access to the "original" video/project and the YouTube video is the only copy, there is a method. Try "YouTube Downloader" which is a free software that allows you to download clips from YouTube as .mp4 files. You can then edit with Premiere, and re-encode again for upload to YouTube. Just keep in mind that you are re-compressing the video so there will be some quality loss. The better the quality of the original, the better the copy will hold up.

  • I have two Macs: an MBA and the new iMac.  Is there a way to have iTunes and all the content in it identical on both machines?

    I have two Macs: an MBA and the new iMac.  Is there a way to have iTunes and all the content in it identical on both machines?

    Yes you can copy the content to your new machine and use Home Sharing to keep the content identical
    Connect the two machines via an ethernet cable it is 3 times faster than Wifi. Turn wifi off on one machine to enforce ethernet connection
    In System Preferences, Sharing turn on File Sharing
    Then
    Copy the music/itunes folder from the Macbook pro to the music/ folder on the imac
    Both machines should now have the same library
    Disconnect H the ethernet cable
    Set up Home Sharing and under Settings at the bottom of the Home Sharing page. Select to transfer new purchases.
    Do the same on the other machine.
    Then when you r machines are connected by wifi and each time you start itunes it will transfer your new purchases

  • I was updating to IOS 8 thru iTunes on my 4S and it came unplugged. Now it wants me to restore settings. Is there a way to undo this and get 'old' phone back with all of my info/pics/contacts/etc?

    I was updating to the IOS 8 thru ITunes on my 4S when it came unplugged from the computer (dumb dog). Now the phone just has an image of plugging in to the ITunes icon and when I plug it in it says its in recovery mode and needs to be restored to original settings and I will lose all of my contacts/photos/etc. Is there a way to reverse this and just get my 'old' phone back with all of my stuff? I only have the free ICloud storage so I know most of my stuff will be lost. Yes I know..,hindsight is 20/20 on buying the backup. Help please!

    In short. No, you cannot unsync.  If you had a back up from your old iPhone you cand restore from a back up.
    In iTunes go to Edit > Preferences > Devices > and select the latest back up. 
    Before you synced your phone did you have it set up with the PhotoStream or iCloud? The pictures would be saved there.  Or if you had them sync to a file on your computer.

    Is there a way to detect all the photos already transferred to double (or triple) in iPhoto, so do not occupy space unnecessarily? thanks from France

    Look in you main photo library. Are there doubles or triple photos there? If so delete the extras.
    All photos are stored in the photo library. When you move a photo into an album the photo is not duplicated. The album contains a pointer back to the original photos. These pointers or aliases take up very little space.
