We have made several tools for creating motion videos (and more) at the University of Oslo: the … Continue reading Frame differencing with FFmpeg

Some hours of recordings The starting point was a bunch of recordings from our recent MusicLab Copenhagen featuring the amazing Danish … Continue reading Pre-processing Garmin VIRB 360 recordings with FFmpeg
