I keep saying the same stuff over and over when it comes to analyzing videos. I can't immediately find a post that lists what makes a video acceptable for analysis, so I will just reproduce on here. I will give 1 point for each of the following that the video has:
- Stationary camera and background
- Camera does not zoom
- Motion perpendicular to the camera
- You can see the object in every frame (nothing obscuring the motion)
- Interesting physics content
- Downloadable (some videos I can't "get off the web")
- No repeating frames
- Not badly interlaced (or would that be deinterlaced - I get confused)
This gives a max score of 8 points. I think it would be best to just apply this to a select portion of a video (not necessarily the whole thing). I will call this the VAS.
