Play with objects inside videos using DimP

  • Share

You are watching a amazing video and want to manipulate the video ? But for this you need softwares which are quite expensive.Manipulating video means you can play with the objects/items  which are seen inside the video! Hard to believe if such a application exist ? Hell ya!

Still didn’t understand the term manipulating video ? Hmm..  watch this amazing 1 minute video which will blow you off

Some more videos - One minute teaser and Longer video with explanation

This is called awesome manipulation! Direct manipulation is always an illusion produced by having user’s gestures match the resulting motions on the screen as closely as possible but remember you are never physically manipulating objects.This technique benefits in tasks such as professional and amateur video editing, review of sports footage, and forensic analysis of video scenes and to find out magic tricks.

Anywayz this awesome free software is called DimP.The way it works is quite simple:

  1. DimP automatically extracts object motions from the videos.
  2. DimP then allows the user to control video playback by scrubbing these objects on their trajectories.

DimP requires the following features installed on your computer

  • Windows XP and Vista compatible.
  • 1 GB of RAM.
  • Microsoft .NET 2.0 runtime. Download it here (22 MB).
  • A VfW (Video for Windows) MPEG-4 codec such as ffdshow.

Currently DimP video manipulation software supports Windows and also MAC.The DimP team is  working hard to add many new features.For now you you can test DimP with other video files, provided that:

  • Your video is short. The current prototype decompresses the whole video into memory, so it is not able to handle videos of several minutes.
  • Your video is of acceptable quality: not heavily compressed and with a sufficient frame rate. Video resolution does not affect processing time.
  • Your video is in the .avi format and uses a codec compatible with VfW (Video for windows)
