Mercalli V5 Suite for EDIUS X

Mercalli V5 Suite for EDIUS

proDAD Mercalli is well known as an industry standard. Therefore, professionals and enthusiasts consider Mercalli to be the probably most efficient and most versatile stabilization solution.

The only obstacle, especially for those who like to work intuitively and fast as possible, has been the rather time-consuming process of analyzing the footage, which used to be necessary.

But this was only necessary up until now! With proDAD Mercalli RT there is no longer a need for a thorough video analysis prior to stabilizing. For the very first time the footage is being stabilized live – in real time – right on your timeline. If you wish to, you may creatively control the degree of stabilization, the amount of zoom and choose the character of stabilization to perfectly match the character of each individual scene.

Since a high-quality video stabilization does not require any extra amount of time anymore, you may now apply the proven Mercalli stabilization to all your projects.

And even better: Along with proDAD Mercalli RT we introduce proDAD Picture Enhanzr as the complementing real time plugin image-solution of the Mercalli V5 Suite for EDIUS. Picture Enhanzr analyses and optimizes dynamics, contrast and brightness of your footage – all automatic in real time. Your images will look more brilliant, detailed and vivid. If you wish to, you may also finetune the setting to your liking or have Mercalli automatically set the optimal values matching the individual scene. You and your viewers will see the difference and enjoy your work even more.

The real time life performance power of proDAD Mercalli RT is another milestone in video stabilization now also accompanied by the Picture Enhanzr as another real time plugin making your footage stand out with even richer colors and stunning dynamics.

For intensive CMOS corrections within EDIUS – capable of even correcting wobble or yellow distortions – CMOS FIXR Pro is your plugin tool and for the most demanding stabilizing jobs, Mercalli Pro is the right plugin for you.

With these two new plugins, Mercalli RT and Picture Enhanzr of the Mercalli V5 Suite for EDIUS – complementing Mercalli Pro, the CMOS Fixr Pro und Mercalli Standalone – you are perfectly prepared to optimize, stabilize and CMOS-correct almost any type of video footage.

NEW: Real time stabilization for all your video material

Real time live performance

No analysis needed prior to stabilizing

New stabilization profile “Fixed Cam” added to remove all movements achieving an ultra-stable look (especially suited for interviews, stage recordings and documentary shooting with long telephoto lenses)

“Content aware fill”: empty borders resulting during the stabilization process may optionally be filled by matching content of nearby picture frames

Correcting simple rolling shutter effects

Stabilization profiles for common applications like:

“Glide Cam”: The virtual camera follows smoothly the movement of the real camera and removes sudden and shaky movements.

“Sports Cam”: The virtual camera generally follows the fast movement of the real camera and smoothens sudden and shaky movements.

“Science Cam”: Comparable stabilization to “Steadycam” but without limitation and edge fill. (Well suited to evaluate parameters and optimize settings.)

“Fixed Cam”: The virtual camera is set to a fixed point without following the real camera.

“Steadycam”: (floating camera) The virtual camera follows the movements of the real camera more subtle so that sudden movements are being avoided.

Extensive detail options to control stabilization

“Diagnostics”: technical information is being displayed

Overlay display visualizing the stabilization to optimize settings

Overlay display to evaluate processing time vs. real time performance

Score display to evaluate real time capacity vs. degree of stabilization

Works internally within native color space RGB; YUV-444; 8bit / 10bit

Supports up to 256 cores for faster processing or computing higher resolution or framerates in real time
