Hi,
VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION !
I read that Metashape works with the exif data in order to perform its magic.
If I am hitting a stills capture button in a video playback or editing prog, capturing stills from the video, will those have that exif data the same as a stills camera would generate ?
would such images captured that way work in Agisoft ?
I need to capture stills at moments in the video I know I need them, two stills might be 3 seconds apart, using Agisoft inbuilt image capture every 10th frame will see far too many stills compared to what is required for 60% overlap. If I end up with 10x as many images as required it will make the prog struggle if not fail ? Some of those are bound to be between keyframes, keyframes give the best image usually, if it captured every lets say 5th keyframe that might be better.
agreed a slow shutter speed means a slower pan, but a dull and poorly lit museum needs a slow shutter speed if I am to have good depth of field.
Also the Sony AX100E I have seems to have an inbuilt inability to pan without causing jerkiness, as I have tried it in sunshine on everything from 1/50 to 1/600.
My subject matter pan starts off showing a load of exhibits in the background then becomes in seconds just my subject then the ceiling creeps in then the floor, all that extra background stuff seems to me a distraction, likely to cause failure. I am familiar with mask from model, but if the background isn't enough in the sequence to create a decent mesh, editing it out can see one faced with a poorly defined mush to start with.
I have had failures where I am convinced pre editing in photoshop would give a better result.
