Expected duration: 3 - 4 weeks
We are a company which build around 200 timelapses monthly. We have developed an internal tool based on FFMPEG and Premiere. Now, we want to migrate this system to an endpoint in cloud to connect this to our webapp. We currently are testing and proof-of-concept of this endpoint.
But we need to take some steps further on our FFMPEG sequence to achive the result we do on Premiere:
1. Stabilisation of footage. Our videos are composed of frames from timelapse cameras that can move, as they move with the wind. We want the shot to be completely static. We currently do this with Premiere. There may be cameras 100% static, others affected only by vibrations and others will be swinging in the space if they are attached to a crane. The algorithm to stabilize must take care of this or use a parameter that we can define for each job.
2. Frame Blending: We currently use a FlickerFree plugin to reduce variations in luminance and shadows between frames. In the end our timelapses go from 3000 frames to 40 seconds at 30fps, so this blending is possible. At this moment our proccessing engine discards this photos, we want to use frame blending to merge consecutive frames and get a result similar to the plugin FlickerFree from DigitalAnarchy (https://digitalanarchy.com/Flicker/main.html) that we use to reduce the changes in luminance and shadows during the video and get a smooth transition of light and objects with motion blur.
3. Variable speed: Currently we play at 30fps but we would like to reduce the speed towards the end of the video until it becomes a static frame. We currently use different videos with different FPS and you can notice the cuts. We want to be more softly, like a slowdown. With Premiere, Davinci you can use curves to speed down or up with Bezier curves and it's very smooth.
4. Using an intro and outro. Can be a static .jpeg or a .mp4 with an animated intro. Should fade in to the video and fade out from the video to the outro.
5. Background music with fade in and out
6. Duration of video, based on the type of fps from the feature 3, the duration of the video can be adjusted to get a 30, 60, 120 seconds video...
Can you make a budget for each feature? I cand send a .zip with raw images and the video edited, but it is too heavy to upload via attached files |
