In Voxx2 you can choose from several predefined trajectories around or through the image stack when creating a movie, as well as using an arbitrary trajectory as in Voxx1. Movies can be saved as uncompressed AVIs or sequences of numbered TIFF, PNG, or raws/binary files. As with snapshots, if pbuffers are supported the movie can be of arbitrary dimensions, otherwise what you see is what you get. In which case make sure no other windows are overlapping the main window during the save. The predefinied movie choices are:
After you have previewed your movie and are satisfied with the results, choose the desired format from the format drop-down at the top, specify a filename/pattern, and press save. Please be patient while the movies saves. Remember these are uncompressed movies, so they can be quite large. We recommend that uncompressed AVI movies be converted into smaller MPEG-1 files using third-party software (e.g. TMPGenc) before posting the files on a website or submitting them with a paper |
4D Movie Features
If you are working with a 4D dataset, you will also see the 4D Settings. This allows you to determine the number of frames that pass before changing time point. By clicking on Display Time Info the dialog expands allowing you to type in timing information for the time points, which will be overlayed on the movie. When using Display Time Info, it is best to allow atleast 3 or 4 frames per time point. Otherwise, it is very difficult to read in the resulting movie.
