Controls and manages the connection to your robotic arm. The connection between the robotic arm and PlayBot is established through a USB port.
Automatically and immediately edit your videos, allowing you to edit the music and share your videos with QR codes without internet.
It offers the option, after capturing a video, to cancel the render if what was captured was not what was expected.
Allows SuperSlows of up to 48x (with GoPro at 240FPS), using image interpolation algorithms. These slows are similar to what you would get with a professional camera capable of 1440FPS.
Controls and manages the connection to your camera via WiFi or USB. Transfer your files faster via USB connection, avoiding possible conflicts in places with many wifi networks or environmental interferences.
Allows you to use digital zooms (zoom in, zoom hold or zoom out) as if you were using a professional camera with zoom lens (but with GoPro). You can vary the maximum zoom range up to 140%.
PlayBot allows, as all video editing processes are demanding in terms of hardware resources, to define how many cores of your processor can be affected to these tasks.
Allows you to manage multiple event profiles.
Allows you to adjust the duration of each section of the timeline, thus modifying the final duration of the sections using SuperSlows to achieve very slow, but short sections.
Add videos of your brand or event at the start and/or end of your captured video using the “Intro” and “Outro” options.
You will be able to see the details of the uploaded videos and preview the final result.
The video must be in mp4 format, have the same dimensions as the final video and must have 30 FPS.
QR Code: PlayBot will allow you to create QR codes for users to connect to your WiFi network and access the video gallery.
WhatsApp: By selecting this function you can enter, at the end of each video, a number to which the video will be sent via WhatsApp.
If you plan to share at Wi-Fi events with QR codes, you’ll need to have a basic understanding of Wi-Fi networks and connections.
With this PlayBot function you can, during your events and without the need for an internet connection, show as many videos and/or photos as you want. It has 6 predesigned screens available that you can display or even repeat on all the devices you want.
Tablets, notebooks, TV, phones; vertically or horizontally. If the device can connect to the router and has a browser, PlayBot can display the content.
You can display the videos obtained during an event or even advertise your services.
Are you looking for users to be able to access only one video and not the entire gallery? Use DSS as a Sharing Station to display individual videos together with their individual QR code.
With PlayBot’s timeline you can define how many sections your composition will have, while you can assign a specific speed to each section. You can also define, for each section, the zoom level, the maximum zoom percentage and its precision. Define values such as “Zoom Hold” (as long as you disable zoom on a section of the timeline, the zoom will remain as it was before disabling it) and “Zoom Follow” (makes the zoom level stays the same in all legs after the leg you are working with). With the “Boomerang” setting on, after playing all the sections, have them play again but inverted.
PlayBot has, looking for a more harmonious composition, a particular treatment of audio characterized by:
The file uploaded as music must be in mp3 format.
GoPro Monitor: From this screen you select whether to connect to the GoPro via WiFi or via USB Type-C cable. PlayBot captures and displays the status of your GoPro: whether it is connected, what model it is, the battery level, the WiFi name of the camera, among others.
GoPro Set: From this screen you can configure your GoPro’s parameters such as the resolution at which it will record your videos, what type of lens it will use, what type of photo the GoPro will process, the time you want your camera to turn off, the brightness of your screen, among others.
Define and manage an unlimited number of movements of your arm, using the “Default” movement as a template for any new movement. The movements have to be defined using a Micro controller (part of your robotic arm). You can execute the sequence in one click or in three stages: preparation, execution and return to origin.
Define how you will use PlayBot in relation to your workflow: videos with intro/outro, with effects, with gifs, with music; timelines adjusted to your preference; generating stop motion; taking pictures; playing the videos on a TV; sharing via WhatsApp or QR Codes without internet; movements to use with the robotic arm, among others.
This screen allows you to establish through which USB port (Com Port) and at what speed (Com BAUDS) the connection to the robotic arm will be established.
Start recording or process a video via Drag and Drop. This button can also be used to trigger the movement of the robotic arm “Action!” (which should include the entire trajectory of the movement, from start to finish).
This feature allows you to enable and configure parallel processing for faster processing or rendering.
For this function it is recommended to have a computer with six cores (twelve processing threads), of which two should be free.
Press the “Preset” button to set the rendering speed, the rendering quality and hardware acceleration.
Hardware acceleration allows you, through the use of your video card or the GPU integrated in your processor, to render faster.
The render quality allows you to vary between low and high values. The higher the quality chosen, the longer it will take to render and the larger the processed file size will be.
The render speed allows you to define how fast the rendering process will be, with impact on the weight of the final files. The faster the rendering, the larger the rendered file size and vice versa.
After rendering your video, the Stop Motion option is enabled: in it, a sequence of images is generated and allows the user to walk through the video frames using the PlayBot gallery. With this feature, it will be possible for the user to fast forward, rewind, slow down and speed up the video as they like in an entertaining and smooth way.
The overlay is the design that accompanies your video, and is usually used to record your logo or contact and the theme of the event (“Sweet Sixteen”, “We got married” or similar). Using PlayBot’s “Overlay” option you can upload both PNG format and transparent background. The program has default templates that you are free to use.
On top of that, the option to add animated GIFs to your layouts has been added, so you can add more movement and personality to your events.
If you plan to share at Wi-Fi events with QR codes, you’ll need to have a basic understanding of Wi-Fi networks and connections.
