This is part of a video I took last week while on vacation in Southern Utah. For this clip I had my Canon HV30 on a tripod with the legs of the tripod collapsed, ie, not extended and I was holding it and the camera out the window of the car and up over the roof of the car. The wind was blowing about 30 mphs and was blowing the camera back and forth and the car and I were bouncing up and down along with the camera. The original clip is unwatchable because it was so jittery. I applied Mercalli to the video and this is the result. The first link is the 3 minute clip of a piece of road in Utah. You have to view the full 3 minutes to get a real feel for this road. The first time I traveled it I was on my Harley and didn’t expect to see this.

 

The second clip is a piece of the un-edited clip along with Mercalli applied so you can see just how well Mercalli works.

Great !!!! Weewee, I think that you can obtain even MORE and BETTER than this, if you fine tune the settings.

Looks like Mercalli does a great job there.

Never used/tried it.

Is it only available as a plugin or is there a standalone version too?

Any idea if it runs on 32bit Win7 RC?

Here's another video of one of the scariest roads in the country. Yarra, I had an HV20 secured on the passenger seat with weights on it but the only way to get a real sense of the road was to hold another camcorder out of the window so I could pan the area. These are HD camcorders so they are much more sensitve to any tiny vibration as opposed to standard def camcorders. If it wern't for Mercalli most HD road video would be useless.

The video is still being processed so it may look very pixelated:

It gets real interesting the second half

 I can't answer those questions yet but I believe Mercalli is only available as a plugin.

Scary road for sure.

Visited South of Utah 2 years ago.

Zion, Kanab AZ, Page, Monument Valley HW 163 and 191 north to Canyonlands, Moab UT, Arches, then East Grand Junction CO, Gunnison, Salida, Canon City, Colorado Springs....

Where is that scary road to be found?

You use Mercalli as a plugin in Studio? Which version please?

When you drove through Monument Valley on the 163, then through Mexican Hat, Ut, you were about 20 miles south of this road. If you would have taken the 261 at Mexican Hat instead of staying the 163 you would have traveled this road. Google Mexican Hat, Ut and look just to the north of it. You'll see where the road has a kink in it about 20 miles north and that's the Mokee Dugway. What you did was you missed about 300 miles of the most beautiful country in the world by going south through Arizona instead of going north through Bryce Canyon. If you would have taken the road through Bryce Canyon and continued on east you would have seen some of the most enjoyable views you can imagine. I took 5 days last week and drove back and forth though there just to get 10 hours of video footage and about 1,500 still shots. I have yet to even start sorting out the video and stills.
