Jump and Freeze bullet-time effect

March 28, 2019

Update - October 21, 2026

This demo shows Jump and Freeze in Camera Server v1.10.6. The three-slider menu described below belongs to that older interface; do not assume the same menu or feature availability in a current installation. Start with the current trigger controls and, for programmable sequences, the Timeline Scripts guide. These are current setup references, not a claim that a script automatically reproduces the legacy Jump and Freeze preset.

THE JAF MODE! "Jump and Freeze". That's the new feature in Xangle Camera Server v1.10.6. It's been made popular by our friends at Life in 360 Indonesia as they were manually creating custom trigger sequences to create that effect. This update brings up a super simple method of achieving this effect using 3 sliders. The first one sets where you want to change the speed (usually half way)

My setup on this video:

  • 42x Canon SL1 + 24mm pancake
  • 14x Raspberry Pis (3 cameras per pi),
  • No external trigger system (USB only)
  • Kokuyo finger trigger

Camera settings:

  • f4.5
  • 1/200s
  • iso 3200
