Adobe Hard at Work On Video-Object Manipulation System - Demo

Posted on November 30, 2008 at 1:11 am (PST)

You hot-shot movie cutters out there should get a load out of this. Adobe’s research laboratory has been hard at work at an ingenious video-object manipulation system. The system gives video editors all sorts of power with nearly no rendering lag. The demonstration below shows an editor selecting the outside of a yellow cab and affixing the word "taxi" to it as he careens throughout the frame. The text knows not to leave the confines of the car. Sound confusing? Watch the video and be enlightened.

Adobe offers no word as to when this tech will show itself in a consumer product though. Also, this would be great for blackmailing politicians.
