Tactic 5.4:

Release summary (major new features).

Unit 6, Hurlingham Business Park, Sullivan Road, London SW6 3DU.

Assisted keyframing with Player Detect – Tactic Pro only.

Detect player function with auto generated motion paths.

Player Detect uses machine learning to detect all unobstructed players in the view screen and automatically create a motion path both forwards and backwards from that point in the video with just one click.New players coming in to view at any point in the video are automatically detected and added. Functions are available to quickly correct errors if players are obstructed from view or cross each other momentarily.

Users can then simply drag and drop any graphic onto a player to automatically follow it’s motion path. This greatly reduces the speed required to add graphics to track players, particularly when tracking multiple players.

New Multicam functions with Morph – Tactic Pro only.Virtual camera angles from one clip.

Use the player cutout function and create virtual camera fly by with user definable pan/zoom/tilt keyframes  to view the action from a different angle before playing the video on.

Calibrate camera positions on two clips of the same action from different camera angles, put graphics on one clip and switch to the other angle to see graphics in the same position on the pitch. Create a morph animation to seamlessly move between the two clips and view the show the rest of the action from a completely different angle. Trail graphics on players through the morph from one camera angle to another.

Multicam clips.
