What’s the matter? Photoshopping images of your friends and foes not as fun as it used to be? Well, Microsoft has come to the rescue with “Unwrap Mosaics”, a new piece of software that makes real-time, in-motion edits to video faster than you can say handlebar mo.
The software uses masks to add or undo any edits you perform and comes loaded with editing functions such as cutting/pasting/copying, resizing, repainting, deforming and effects layers.
In the video below, the software is demonstrated on a head shot of some guy chattering away. The images that make up the video are converted automatically to an “unwrap mosaic” and any changes made to the mosaic are re-composited into the original video sequence.
The video demonstrates the real-time, in-motion application of virtual make-up including rouge on the cheeks, kohl on the eyes, big bushy eyebrows and, why not, a big biker mo. Don’t know if it’s really suited for professional production just yet, but it sure looks like a winner for a laugh on amateur vids.
