Video Magic Wand (software)

Hello.

I made a piece of software which i call "Video Magic Wand".

It's software which can process entire video, and create new video with the Magic Wand feature doing its job.

The program can be downloaded here:

https://github.com/ad48hp/Video-Magic-Wand/releases

 

Details

It takes a video and convert it to PNG files, then processing each PNG, and then converting the PNG files back to a video.

It uses FFMpeg software for that.

The software can also be called "Batch Magic Wand". and it's based on a floodfill algorhitm.

 

Help wanted

I need help with the software too!

The floodfill algorhitm is fairly slow, it takes about 5 seconds per frame.

Could someone go help me with making it faster ? (optimizing it)

If I understand your post correctly, Vegas already has a well developed feature to convert video to image sequences (jpg, tiff, or png), import them to the timeline, and reconstruct them to video.

This is an especially important feature for high resolution motion picture formats, as well as external image processing.

Welcome to the discussions.

Yes, but Vegas just converts the video into a PNG format, and then renders it.

This software extracts PNG from a video, then apply a Magic Wand on each frame (Vegas can't do this), and then converts the PNG back to video.

 

Did you think the software would just convert cideo from and to without any features ? That would be useless.
