Wow incredible...now we could see if one of the people running for office is lying in their speech, they would show signs we could learn.
How stressed really is the president or Puten for instance. The people reporting on the lost plane...
I was thinking exactly the same thing. We should be able to see increased blood flow (flush response), breathing and pupil dilation with this software.
Pretty much a visual lie detector. But it would have to be high res images close to the face which shouldnt be hard these days.

Please post your settings, as I am very familiar with this software and you appear to have ran this video through motion magnification, not color magnification. Color magnification is what would show a pulse. All we are seeing in this video is the trails and echoes of motion.

Does it have to be close to the face? I thought the changes would show regardless? I can see it now, wifes and husbands "answer that again with the camera on".
Tips for recording and processing videos:
At capture time:
- Minimize extraneous motion. Put the camera on a tripod. If appropriate, provide support for your subject (e.g. hand on a table, stable chair).
- Minimize image noise. Use a camera with a good sensor, make sure there is enough light.
- Record in the highest spatial resolution possible and have the subject occupy most of the frame. The more pixels covering the object of interest - the better the signal you would be able to extract.
- If possible, record/store your video uncompressed. Codecs that compress frames independently (e.g. Motion JPEG) are usually preferable over codecs exploiting inter-frame redundancy (e.g. H.264) that, under some settings, can introduce compression-related temporal signals to the video.

It doesn't matter how little experience I've had with the software. I [clearly] have had more experience than the OP, and I am 100% right in that post.
The software offers "motion" and "color" magnification. In regards to detecting a pulse, Color magnification detects changes of color on the surface of the skin resulting from increasecd/decreased blood at the surface. Basically, we "blush" very gently once every heart beat, as the capillaries near the surface of our skin are filled more with blood. The OP used motion magnification, not color magnification, and interpreted the results inccorectly.
Doesn't take a #ing rocket scientist to figure it out. It just takes a few hours with the software.
I was aiming to educate people with that post. Show people how to use the software. I was trying to deny ignorance. Not judge or mock anyone, like you are trying to do with me. Grow up for christ's sake.

This thread has no sense at all.
People see an idea and think that an idea can change everything but are blind to the fact that it is not applicable to the subject we are talking about.
This video is to grany to use this effect. It is to low in resolution.
So please ATS dont put this effect on all videos just because you think its the "magical thing" that can show us things ...
IT CAn...but only with high resolution videos and the right settings.
The video you posted does not even USE the capability of this code. Its like you would have put a color effect on a picture and called it "motion translator". Not its not. You just added more contrast to it and a slow motion latency...
thats all.
But people flag it all over again. Because they don´t use their senses. They just look "at the words" they are using.
Thats the typical mindset of our world. Being blinded by words...

Wow - nice job!
The thing that really interests me is that you can clearly see the pulse on the wrist on the right - except it's on the opposite side of the wrist from where one would normally "feel" for a pulse.
Is it just picking up the minute vibrations of that blood vessel? Also - why can't we see it on the artery where it would normally be found which should be closer to the top-center portion of that wrist?
Maybe my understanding of human anatomy is severely lacking...
But this tech has far reaching possibilities, and possible uses not even mentioned yet. It's not just about someone lying, or tense. It could be a drunk driver, or someone drinking who has a low tolerance to alchohol. It could be used long term in applications in health studies, in plant health studies, (colouration) maybe even engineering. The MIT guy did say they are only at the very beginning, first point signatures.
