Abstract
Cinematography is an animated part of multimedia, where parallax engine can play a significant role in easing out the workflow. Animations are difficult to compose in precise terms while keeping the consistency of the work; the parallax engine is capable of yielding in multimedia proficiency. In this report, the main objective is to explain the proficiency that a parallax engine withholds when worked on a visual task, regardless of its type. The engine is consistent and efficient (99.98 %) after several tests. The testing was done on each key frame to understand how the pattern of the parallax works, and conclusion shows low error rate with a minor variation.
