Video Surgeon Makes Video Analysis a Breeze!

Just what is video analysis software? It is software that delivers recorded video in slow motion, with a zooming functionality, and with repetitive playback. And importantly... it performs all of this functions simultaneously. This allows for frame-by-frame and second-by-second analysis of video recordings.
By viewing recordings of yourself performing your craft or watching videos lessons or performances of others using Video Surgeon you can, with much greater ease, identify strengths and/or weakness in high detail and figure out how to correct or perfect them.

Speed or Tempo Change

Slowing the speed or tempo of a video can be extremely beneficial in helping you see more precisely how something is being done. The range of tempo or speed change that can be applied using Video Surgeon is 25% to 200% of the original. These changes can be applied both in real time as you are listening/watching to a video that is opened in Video Surgeon – as well as making these changes permanent by embedding them in the video so they can be seen when played outside of Video Surgeon. Moreover, you can actually make bigger changes by EXPORTING a video at a changed speed and then re-opening this video and applying the tempo change again. For example, if you open a video and slow it to 25%, export it, and then open this exported video and now slow it down again to 25%, you will now be playing the video at 6.25% (25% x 25%).

Audio Video Synchronization

A problem that can be encountered when changing the speed of a video is the synchronization between audio and video can be off. For some videos this can be a major problem. For example if you are watching a guitarist play a song and observing his fingering but the sound you hear doesn’t correlate with the finger movements, this can be distracting to the point that it renders the video useless as a training tool. Video Surgeon has excellent synchronization between audio and video, even at very slow speeds.

Audio Quality

Similar to the above, the quality of the audio with speed change can be a serious issue for some videos. Obviously if you are watching a tennis video, the audio quality is not of particular importance. However, if you are watching a video of a musical instrument, the usefulness of the video at slower speeds is related to the quality of the audio. If there is so much distortion that you cannot hear accurately what is being played, the value of slowing the video (and audio) down is lost.

Video Surgeon uses the same high quality algorithm for speed and pitch change that is used in our award winning Song Surgeon software. If you start with a good quality A/V file you should be able to slow it down to the 25% level and have sufficiently good quality to hear what is being played, regardless of what musical instrument you might play.

Video Zooming

Video Surgeon has a zoom facility built into that allows you to magnify the video to be able to more easily see it. This can be applied while a video is playing or while the video is stopped (paused). If you are working with small frame size or low quality videos you may not be able to apply much zooming before the picture becomes difficult to see. However, if you have larger frame size and high quality videos, you may be able to zoom in a significant amount before you encounter problems with pixelation and blurriness of images. Video Surgeon can zoom-in as much as 32X, assuming a video frame could be viewed at such a magnification and still retain sufficient quality to be viewable. Lastly, you can print a frame or frame(s) that have zoom applied to them. You can also Export and create a new video where zoom is applied to this entire video.
