Imagine history documentaries where they take an old photo and free objects from the background and move them round giving the illusion of parallax movement. This software does that in less than a second, creating a 3D model that can be accurately moved (or the camera for that matter) in your video editor. It's not new, but this one is fast and "sharp".
Gaussian splashing is pretty awesome.
- kurtis_reed 10mo agoWhat are free objects?
- ferriswil 10mo agoThe "free" in this case is a verb. The objects are freed from the background.

- Retr0id 10mo agoUntil your comment I didn't realise I'd also read it wrong (despite getting the gist of it). Attempted rephrase of the original sentence: Imagine history documentaries where they take an old photo, free objects from the background, and then move them round to give the illusion of parallax.
- necovek 10mo agoI'd suggest a different verb like "detach" or "unlink".
- thenthenthen 10mo agoisolate from the background?
- necovek 10mo agoEven better, agreed!
- tzot 10mo ago> Imagine history documentaries where they take an old photo, free objects from the background Even using commas, if you leave the ambiguous “free” I suggest you prefix “objects” with “the” or “any”.
- nashashmi 10mo agoFree objects in the background.
- Sharlin 10mo agoNo, free objects in the foreground, from the background.
- crazygringo 10mo agoOh man. I never thought about how Ken Burns might use that. Already you sometimes see where manually cut out a foreground person from the background and enlarge them a little bit and create a multi-layer 3D effect, but it's super-primitive and I find it gimmicky. Bringing actual 3D to old photographs as the camera slowly pans or rotates slightly feels like it could be done really tastefully and well.
