New research from the University of Washington makes video editing as easy as image editing in Photoshop. Functionality we take for granted in Photoshop, like editing resolution, range, exposure and object alterations, were time-consuming and difficult to do with most video editing software. Now, using a blend of altered still shots and video of the same scene, video can be enhanced just as easily as images are.
At this time, researchers can only edit video of static scenes—scenes without moving objects in them. However, the user-friendly interface of UW’s visual effects software poses an innovative new way to edit video.
Using some rather advanced algorithms to analyze video and photographs of a the same scene, the software can meld the two into something slightly better or even dramatically different. In effect, it's Photoshop for video, since it brings your Photoshop chops to bear on video effects: edit up a still shot or two of the scene, and then meld that with the video, and your edits can be seamlessly integrated into the scene, without all that nasty manual labor required by Shake or After Effects.
