This software produces professional digital video sequences using still images with panning effects. It is specifically designed for creating DV videos.
One unique feature of PanCanvasPro is that you can see the entire move in one shot. Even though the interface is simple, it includes numerous powerful features. For example, you can enjoy unlimited rotation of your camera and unlimited image size, as long as your RAM can handle it. The camera can track perpendicular to the path to simulate a fly-over, and you can specify pan length in frames or seconds. Additionally, you can specify lead-in and/or lead-out (stationary pause) and use user-defined ease settings to control the speed of the camera along the path.
PanCanvasPro also has built-in image processing that includes NTSC filter, image scaling, image padding, and image blur. The software also comes with built-in motion blur effects including linear blur, polar blur, and zoom blur. Blur effects can be linked to the ease settings which dynamically modify intensity according to the velocity of the camera. Using the grid snap for precise, repeatable camera positioning, you can create amazing and high-quality projects with ease.
PanCanvasPro also provides you with a "Configuration file save option" which allows you to save all the aspects of the current project, allowing you to have access to all of your work in the future. Additionally, you can save your favorite control settings using the "Control setting save option", which is automatically loaded at startup. PanCanvasPro can open any QuickTime capable image and can process an image when called from another application.
One of the most useful features of PanCanvasPro is its ability to output a single QuickTime file or a directory of user-defined sequential single images (JPEG, TIFF, BMP, PNG, PICT). These are easily loaded into video editing applications. The path is defined as either a straight line or Bezier curve, and you can use the real-time preview window with a scrub slider to test your work.
PanCanvasPro also provides standard pixel aspect settings including NTSC DV, NTSC D1, NTSC Widescreen, PAL DV/D1, PAL Widescreen, and square. The output can be interlaced with odd or even field dominance. The software was designed to render any part of the entire sequence, which allows you to test parts of the project where anomalies might occur due to overly slow camera speed or shallow image size. Suggested, optimum image size indicators are there to warn you if the image is too small for the camera size.
The only requirement for this application is QuickTime. In conclusion, PanCanvasPro is a powerful and intuitive software packed with features that can help you create high-quality and professional-looking projects.
