proDAD's first Artificial Intelligence Application (AiA) for Magix Plugins

NEW: Real time stabilization for all your video material 

• Real time live performance
• No analysis needed prior to stabilizing
• New stabilization profile “Fixed Cam” added to remove all movements achieving an ultra-stable look (especially suited for interviews, stage recordings and documentary shooting with long telephoto lenses)
• “Content aware fill”: empty borders resulting during the stabilization process may optionally be filled by matching content of nearby picture frames
• Correcting simple rolling shutter effects
• Stabilization profiles for common applications like:
  • “Glide Cam”: The virtual camera follows smoothly the movement of the real camera and removes sudden and shaky movements.
  • “Sports Cam”: The virtual camera generally follows the fast movement of the real camera and smoothens sudden and shaky movements.
  • “Science Cam”: Comparable stabilization to “Steadycam” but without limitation and edge fill. (Well suited to evaluate parameters and optimize settings.)
  • “Fixed Cam”: The virtual camera is set to a fixed point without following the real camera.
  • “Steadycam”: (floating camera) The virtual camera follows the movements of the real camera more subtle so that sudden movements are being avoided.
    
     
• Extensive detail options to control stabilization
• “Diagnostics”: technical information is being displayed
• Overlay display visualizing the stabilization to optimize settings
• Overlay display to evaluate processing time vs. real time performance
• Score display to evaluate real time capacity vs. degree of stabilization
• Supports up to 256 cores for faster processing or computing higher resolution or framerates in real time

NEU: Real time video optimizing for all purposes 

• Real time life performance
• No prior analysis needed
• Suports up to 256 cores for faster processing or computing higher resolution or framerates in real time
• Automatic optimization of contrast and brightness according to picture content. Balancing uneven levels of contrast and brightness within a video sequence. Optionally the image may be divided into separate areas. This allows to treat (for example) the sky differently to the ground.
• Brightness, dynamics and color saturation can additionally be finetuned manually.
• “Safe Colors” forces values to stay within the YUV limits. This optional setting may be important working within a studio/broadcast environment, because values out of this range cannot be displayed correctly.
• Works internally within native color space RGB; YUV-444; 8bit / 10bit

proDAD Mercalli Stabilizr PRO for Magix and proDAD Mercalli CMOS-Fixr PRO for Magix

Both plugins share the proven and further optimized and accelerated comprehensive video analysis as basis of the very robust and versatile image stabilization. This intensive processing – only needed for complex cases – guarantees stable footage even under exceptionally demanding circumstances.

Compared to the real time plugins these are the differences in handling and use case:

• Performance: supports high end hardware architecture (up to 256 cores) enabling a fast analysis as well as a fast frame rendering
• The all automatic stabilizer can very comfortably be applied to multiple clips.
• Interactive overlay charts for an easy detection of critical zones in a video sequence to manually optimize the degree and quality of stabilization.
• Highly increased sharpness in stabilized video because of less need to zoom in due to new algorithms especially with interlaced video
• Less degree of zoom-in results in a higher resolution and preserves more wider angle
• Fading in and out stabilization allows an easy and fast stabilization of shorter areas of a video sequence with no need to splice the clip
• Spheric videos up to 170° can be stabilized maintaining the spheric view
• Stereoscopic 3D footage can now be stabilized
• Comprehensive set of camera profiles for numerous lenses
• Extremely robust against obstacles like:
  • Other objects
  • Extreme light conditions
  • Image noise
  • Plain areas (like for example a white sky or a water surface without any visible structure or contrast)
• Overlay display visualizing the stabilization process to further improve settings.
• Works internally within the native color space: RGB; YUV-444; 8bit/10bit
• Supports 4K and Cinemascope
• Enhanced rolling shutter correction
• GPU support a to further speed up processing (compatible graphics card needed)

proDAD Mercalli CMOS-Fixr PRO for Magix

• Performance: supports high end hardware (up to 256 cores) enabling a fast analysis
• Comprehensive and intensive rolling shutter correction
• Even massive CMOS effects like skew, wobble or jello are being corrected
• Works internally within the native color space: RGB; YUV-444; 8bit
