Panoptica analyses the original camera move to extract 3-axis motion of the camera between frames, focal length and zoom. It works for panning and zooming camera moves, where the camera is not being moved laterally. With this information it is possible to separate moving foreground from background. The background can be used to piece together an accurate panorama, while the foreground can optionally be added back. With Panoptica you can create completely new camera moves out of existing camera moves; you can create panoramic video clips; you can create high quality stills from video which extend beyond the reach of any one individual frame; and you can decide what moving foreground you want to include in any output clip, and change the timing characteristics of that moving foreground.
