Mission Statement

VOLPE is aimed at producing high quality video sequences and projects. It uses a mockup scene to preview images and allows multiple effects to be overlaid over images, with a large number of effects, including:

• Logos,
• Dynamic data such as date, time, speed, direction, camera settings
• Video-in-video,
• Shape overlays.

These overlays can be customised in respect to:

• Position,
• Bordering,
• Opacity,
• [Blend Modes] (with more blend modes available than Paperjs and Photoshop combined),
• Choice of fill color, outline color and width, shadow color and blur for text and dynamic image effects,
• Start and end time, intro and outro duration and transition.

Types of image sequences that can be processed by VOLPE include:

• Video sequences of any format,
• Time lapse,
• Slide shows and other image sequences
• Pseudo-animation of panorama images,
• Zoom-in, zoom-out of single images.

VOLPE offers a wide range of video transitions including fades, geometric shapes, pushes, squashes, slides, Ken Burns.

VOLPE also offers image enhancement techniques beyond simple brightness, contrast or gamma corrections, such as:

• Wavelet-denoising, sharpening,
• GTX, GTO2, GTXS,
• Framing images with darkened mirror images or “cell phone” filling.

VOLPE utilises a [Scene Concept] to organise and produce individual scenes. It is not designed to make on-the-fly previews, as the processing time is orders of magnitude beyond that needed for spontaneous video production. Remember that the aim is to produce high quality images, and quality takes precendence over time.
