How to extract velocity data from real footage
Hello,
I was wondering if there is a way to create a velocity map from footage.
I know you can create these in 3d apps but that’s not what I’m looking for.
If you imagine that motion blur systems like RSMB calculate and track the change in the image and before they apply motion blur well I’m looking for something like that. Ideally I’d like to extract something like a greyscale matte where white equals lots of movement and black equals no movement.
Thanks for any help here

The developers of RSMB, RE:Vision Effects, has a plugin called “Motion Vectors: Create” which ships with Twixtor Pro.

Thanks for the reply Walter, unfortunately I haven’t got twixtor. Is there another to do it?

Sorry, Twixtor Pro is the only Ae effect I’m aware of that can render motion vectors.

“greyscale matte where white equals lots of movement and black equals no movement.”
timewarp which comes with ae has a motion blur setting. just leave it at speed 100 for time and turn on shutter angle 2000. shutter samples makes it smoother. shutter angle makes it bigger.
then set as difference matte to original footage and add adjustment with a saturation -100. it should create a greyscale map of motion.
