Motion Detect is an efficient iMovie plug-in that emphasizes motion in clips, allowing users to produce footage with greater artistic effects.
Motion Detect is a powerful iMovie plug-in that allows users to highlight motion in their clips. By comparing to successive frames, Motion Detect highlights the differences between those frames, giving users a clear and concise overview of any changes that have occurred.
This plug-in has additional controls that enable users to amplify changes and suppress smaller ones. Moreover, Motion Detect can superimpose the original frame over the changes, making it ideal for creating cool-looking moving outlines or highlighting changes in time-compressed clips.
Originally developed for the scientific crowd, Motion Detect has now become a popular plugin among users who want to add an extra touch to their videos. It offers a range of key features that aid in bringing the users' vision to reality.
One of the key attributes of Motion Detect is the 'area of effect' feature. This rectangle can be resized by clicking and dragging on the handles or moved by clicking and dragging inside the rectangle. Clicking the 'select all' button will select the whole surface of the clip, indicating that the clip will remain unchanged.
The sensitivity slider controls how sensitive the motion detector is. Changes below this threshold level will be ignored, making it perfect for situations with a constant slight motion, such as leaves on a tree, water flowing, or steam rising. Amplify, on the other hand, lets users amplify changes that are indicated by the motion detector. However, this feature can make the resulting picture grainy.
Another critical feature of Motion Detect is the option to superimpose the result on the original clip. Parts of the clip without motion will remain black, and motion areas will be highlighted. This feature makes these areas brighter when combined with the original clip.
Finally, frame interval helps users overcome the challenge of clips shot at a different fps from that of DV. This feature prevents added frames from hindering the motion detector since they do not show any motion. This plug-in supports footage containing up to five identical frames and was shot at six fps.
Motion Detect works well for iMovie users wanting to add a personal touch to their videos. The above features can only activate if you have iMovie installed.
