surely apple has a patent (probably this one: http://www.pate...ts/5684715.html ) that covers this implementation.

Won’t be useful for video tutorials or seminars though

Yea it does move the hole scene. But this is really awesome. Would be good to use to track people on cameras. I saw an episode on discovery where they were making recognition shit where it will work with all cameras in unison, but its still in development. This seems to be able to get out of beta more easily and u can see where the person came from by dragging them back… And for alot of other things to do, I really think this program will get really popular, weather its for fun because it looks cool and does cool shit. Or because it will be useful for a verity of applications. Either way, good article, This program is very nice. The beta just kinda sux on vista 64 bit =/

Pretty cool, although when I first heard about it I thought it was concerning flash video and being to manipulate it. Although, this is just a forward/rewind tool I can still see some applications that this would be useful for.

Does the ‘Hint Path’ remind anyone else of Donnie Darko?

You do realize that basically it’s just a scroll bar in behavior, but linked to the mouse instead of a control. It doesn’t matter where the mouse is in relation to the video to do what turns out to be the same old standard video scroller, right?

It amuses me an entire paper was written to cover this. When it’s behavior can be described in 3 sentences

In the demo video I do not see any motion tracking. It just looks like moving playhead mapped to mouse in timeline. A bit more control so you do not need to crab playhead with your mouse. Otherwise rather boring.

What if there is, for example, a bouncy ball, where the upward path follows exactly the same direction as the downward path, so it gets to the point at the peak of the height, if then you moved the ball downwards, how would it know whether to fast forward or rewind the video? Because both would have the same image.

Great concept though, i wonder when YouTube would implement it.

As Peter stated, I think this would find great application in video editing software.

Robert, what you state is true about the slider movement…but not that this only really applies to very long movies (for which a pixel’s worth of slider movement could represent more than one frame). Additionally, this could only really work if there were an adequate number of frames per second. Movies have 24, TV has 30, many games have 60….but videos on Youtube and the web commonly have a lower framerate when they’re uploaded. You’re correct about the motor control, but it only applies in high-quality situations, which isn’t always the case here on the internet.

While this is very cool, the increased accuracy and speed in locating wanted frames may just as well be due to the motion sensitivity of the “seeking” mechanism.
In other words, the slider often shifts the video forward by several frames (or more, in the case of a long video like a movie) per pixel of slider movement. In contrast, the DimP allows a much higher ratio of cursor movement to frame shift, so the system makes it easier to pinpoint a direct frame. This would mean that the performance advantage of DimP has less to do with intuitve control and more to do with motor control.
I’d suggest a trial against some kind of “secondary bar,” kind of like a video “whammy bar” to the traditional seeker’s “frets.” It would have a draggable portion in the middle and be set so that the space to each side of the draggable bit represented one or two seconds of video. At any point, a person could click the “whammy bar” and move forward or back to a specific frame.

I’m sure that there’s a better way to write that…
