Abstract:
A system for resequencing at least one of a plurality of input video sequences which upon combining without resequencing would be subject to generating motion artifacts, and for combining and integrating the plurality of input video sequences so as to generate a composite output video sequence with a consistent video sequence without motion artifacts which otherwise would be subject to being generated thereby, comprising:a plurality of input video sequences derived from film source material, each of which includes a 3/2 pulldown video sequence, at least one of which if combined with another without resequencing would be subject to generating motion artifacts; a resequencer, for resequencing the 3/2 pulldown video sequence of at least one of the plurality of film-source derived input video sequences so as to generate a resequenced 3/2 pulldown video sequence; and a combining element for combining the plurality of film-source derived input video sequences, including the at least one film-source derived input video sequence which includes the resequenced 3/2 pulldown video sequence, into a composite video output sequence with a consistent 3/2 pulldown video sequence without motion artifacts which otherwise would be subject to being generated thereby.
