Am I doing it right?

Noob here. Just playing around tryin to learn the ropes.  This is my a snapshot from goin through my first "deep" Mandelbrot zoom.

I call this still: "The Flower of Life"

Edit: I made a video which is basically just a slide show of this first zoom. If anyone can help give me pointers on how to make the transitioning between slides i.e. the zooming less choppy i'd really appreciate that. I made this one basically as a slide show of photos with 1 second delay between each..

Try using more iterations, and the black areas will fill in.

Thanks mate, ya I know iterate iterate iterate...thing is my computer is pretty slow to process at the higher settings and the only way I know to make video is by picture-by-picture... I actually like the black because it kind of goes with the theme I was trying to go for (diving in a blackhole)

Do you know a way to make the zoom look more smooth in transitioning for video?

I edited the OP to include a youtube video with the best way I know to do it so far (it takes a really long time and is basically just a photo slide show 1 second between, id like to have a smooth zooming video tho if anyone can give me tips on achieving that I'd really appreciate it-- especially if i can control the speed of the zoom varying within the same video)

thanks for any help

Call this one "V3rtical Hor1zon"



Call this one "Ca7ctual1tyR3Cachulated"

What is the program you use? You should try a program that uses perturbation and series approximation (kalles fraktaler or mandel machine) if you haven't already to reduce render time. You can get visual glitches with those programs but it's worth learning to deal with them.

It looks like the frames for your zoom video were not all centered on the same coordinate. You need that to interpolate more frames properly because the way that's normally done is by overlapping every rendered frame, scaled appropriately. Kalles fraktaler and mandel machine can produce videos. If you have another method of obtaining the rendered frames you can use SeryZone's program to interpolate frames from the images you made, as opposed iteration data. Because you can feed it images it's versatile but be warned: it's hard to use.
