eliminate seams in multi-frame screencaps? Anonymous
this is a request for ... information!

re: anime where the video pans over a scene that is clearly a single cel, it is often tempting to combine several screen captures into one panoramic image.

on the interwebs i have seen two approaches to this technique - sucking (see attached image, there are clear seams inbetween the captures), and not sucking (see next image, no visible seams).

how are the seams eliminated? is it anime-specific, or is there a real way to do it?

as promised, example of seamless frame combination.

its not to hard if you have photoshop or anyother photo-editing software besides MSpaint

just take the 2 screen caps in new layers, and make the bottom one less opac (more transparent) and move it untill it lines up

i used this technique to make that eureka image <--
>> kak
p.s. in the image you posted most likly those lines are coming from the lighting effect that was in use, at least thats what it apears to be, that would involve alot of time messing with the color and paint tool to get it right

in the first one, the video was shot with a lighting effect layered over top of the panorama thing, that's why there's those seams. i'm guessing there was no such effect used in the second picture. you can try to get rid of the seams using photoshop's clone brush. it may or may not work.

Quick and dirty way I use for this, but it works well enough... make sure you take a few extra shots of the pic you want as you pan through, so that when you have your layers lined up in photoshop, they overlap a fair bit. Now take the eraser tool, make it huge, and change the eraser-type-thingy so it doesn't erase with sharp edges. Y'know, the ones below that. Now erase the edges of the layers, so they blend together. That's it. Pic related, it gave me this problem. Someday, I'll remember why I called it wcd.

This may sound a little stupid, but how do i do to get an screen capture?, i mean, when im reproducing a video i press "screen cap" button, but when i paste it at paint or any other program i get an image of my desktop with the media player clasics (for example)window and inside it nothing, but a black background. Is there any special program or method?

sorry for my english and my ignorance in this matter, but i really want to know this.

VLC player has capture button built in. Otherwise you have to use an external program.

Media Player Classic has a Save Image function in the file menu.

Or you could again make it overlapping and apply a gradient to the opacity mask.

If the lighting effect is especially attricious, you might need to duplicate it and then reverse it.

Picture related, but with less of a lighting effect. 3 minutes, I think.

It's a thing called "hardware overlay" that does this. Most good players have an option to just take pics without disabling it, but hey, the more you know.

If a scene is uniform already but the screen caps have a noticeable border to each one, simply line up the frames and cut off the visible edge that is ontop. It should make a cleaner more seamless slice than merely stitching screencaps together. Attached pic done this way .

I've usually been able to come up with clean ones just using MS Paint. It takes a lot more screencaps to paste together that way, though.

And doesn't work if the foreground and background pan at different speeds.
