THE PROBLEM

You're building a montage sequence and the rhythm demands smooth tracking shots. The kind that carry visual momentum from cut to cut. Your project has 150 clips. Some are handheld, some are on a gimbal, some are static tripod shots. The filenames tell you nothing about which is which.

Finding the right camera movement means opening clips one at a time, watching a few seconds, deciding if it matches, and moving on. For a 150-clip project, that's an hour or two of work just to pull your selects for one sequence.

Camera movement is one of the core building blocks of visual storytelling, but there's no standard metadata for it. Your NLE won't tell you which clips have dolly moves and which are locked off. So you do it by eye, every time.

HOW YOU SOLVE IT WITH WIDEFRAME

01

Agent analyzes camera motion

Wideframe evaluates the motion characteristics of every clip, speed, direction, smoothness, and consistency of movement throughout each shot.

02

Clips tagged by movement type

Each clip gets classified: pan, tilt, dolly, tracking, crane, handheld, static, or combination moves. Gimbal-stabilized shots are distinguished from true locked-off tripod shots.

03

Filter by movement type

Need all the smooth tracking shots? Filter and browse. Need to swap in a static shot for pacing? That's one search. Movement type becomes a standard filter, like any other metadata.
