Abstract
A virtual flying camera system is disclosed. According to one embodiment, the virtual flying camera system includes a plurality of cameras disposed along a track and spaced apart from each other, a recording system configured to receive input video streams from the plurality of cameras, and a control system configured to generate an output video stream from the input video streams. The output video stream includes a view of a virtually flying camera following a target at a user-adjustable speed. The control system generates the output video stream by merging a plurality of portions of the input video streams from adjacent cameras of the plurality of cameras.
