Virtix releases Pan & Scan for iMovie
Virtix announces a new package of professional-quality special
effects for iMovie.
SALEM, NH -- Virtix, Inc. announces the immediate availability of
Virtix Pan & Scan for iMovie. Virtix Pan & Scan contains
10 special effects that allow the user to move back and forth
between portions of a video clip.
A "pan" is the act of turning the camera from one
position to another, either to follow an object or create a
panoramic look. "Pan & scan" is the technical term
for simulating a pan after the video has been shot by zooming in
on one portion of an image and moving to another portion.
Virtix Pan & Scan allows iMovie users to move across an image
at a constant speed, or gently speed up at the beginning and slow
down at the end of the panning motion. Virtix Pan & Scan
contains effects to hold the position at the beginning and end of
a pan. One effect combines two other effects by doing a
half-second swish pan and holding the position at the end of the
motion. Each effect has a version optimized for clips with motion
and a separate effect optimized for still photos.
All Virtix panning algorithms operate at 60 fields per second to
guarantee smooth motion. Each pan effect integrates motion blur
for the most realistic and least digital look possible, an option
that is not available in some high-end professional packages.
Virtix Pan & Scan allows you to do things within iMovie that
previously needed to be done within the camera, allowing you to
be more creative.
The Pan & Scan package contains two versions of each of the
following effects (one for regular clips, and one for still
photos) : Pan, Pan Gentle, Pan Swish, Pan Start and Pan End.
Each Pan & Scan effect has a numeric interface so that pans
on split clips can be matched seamlessly using the Pan Start and
Pan End effects.
Virtix Pan & Scan for iMovie is available immediately via
download at http://www.virtix.com for $19.99 US. Virtix Pan &
Scan for iMovie requires iMovie 2.1.1 for Mac OS X.
