The wider view also included bends and bows to objects that are in nature straight. FFMpeg has a filter known as “lenscorrection” that will remove most of this distortion, lets begin. As always, split out a segment so you don’t waste time processing excessive amounts of data. ffmpeg -ss 00:00:39 -i…
I’ve demonstrated how to take videos and convert them into images using FFMpeg in previous posts. In this post, I’ll be using that same process and ImageMagick to create a color threshold effect. The interesting aspect is that all of the processing can be done through the command line. When faces with editing numerous files, scripting is the way to go. The few hours of up front work getting the script right is worth it. You can get on with…
