I couldn’t view the resultant movie on my laptop.Īfter tweaking the palette and other settings I loaded the same image used for my 720p movie (and the same location used in the 480p Orson Wang fractal movie that got me started) and set the resolution to 2,488 by 1,400, with 3 by 3 antialiasing.There were a couple of image finalization tasks which ended up being run once per thread, and on high-resolution images this could cause a 5-10 second hang at the end of each image! Rendering the movie was going to take a month on my laptop so I switched to a 20-core/40-thread machine, but this revealed long-standing performance bugs.None of my video editing programs (Camtasia, Windows Live Movie Maker, Adobe Premiere Elements) supports 4K so I had to use ffmpeg to stitch 18,117 frames together, which also meant I had to code up my own scrolling credits.The AVI format I’d previously used to export videos doesn’t handle 4K and the files would have been too large anyway so I had to update the zoom movie player to allow saving frames as PNG files – this was long overdue.
My laptop doesn’t support 4K so I had to update the zoom movie player to allow saving frames larger than the display. I think it’s beautiful, and I also think that it is profound that all of this complexity comes from a formula as simple as Z = Z * Z + C. It is the zoom-movie perfection that I have imagined since I released my first fractal program in 1986. Standing a few feet in front of the 4K TV while this new movie plays makes me happy. So I decided to make a new version, at 4K resolution instead of just 720p, with improved colors and other tweaks. I recently got a 4K TV and I realized that my “HD” video looked blurry on it. My version of his movie was antialiased and 720p and seemed pretty impressive at the time.

This page should also detail how many downloads you have left and when the download link expires. After you complete payment click the "Order History" link and the "Downloads" tab. NOTE: This download contains full 1080p HD video. The other seven videos are short samples to give you an idea of what each video is like. You can also access the videos on my youtube channel at: The videos "Genesis Bathing" and "Erupting Realities" are full length. You can view full HD resolution versions of my fractal videos below. I then generate intermediate images that eventually become another one of my fractals. This video is created starting with one of my still fractals. A 3 1/4 minute video requires the generation of 11,800 images! Even with my newest computing equipment, it takes over 8 days running 24x7 to generate the necessary fractal images. Each second of video requires 60 separate fractal images to be generated. They will blow your socks off!įractal videos are made by generating a sequence of slightly changing fractals. The fractals are in full motion with a music soundtrack. 
Do you love fractal images? Then you will really love fractal videos.
