Select Source

Right after the Splash Screen you need to select the Video Source. In this case an AVI file found on hard disk was selected. You can select the file by simply typing the name or by browsing the hard disk. Additionally you can get information about the selected AVI file clicking the "?" button. Eventually you can select the Video Source from your DV Camcorder or from an Internet Video Stream.

Please Note:
Selecting a Video Source from an Internet Video Screen may not work under certain conditions. This functionality is experimental and shall be considered in beta stage.

Seek the Video

After selecting the Video Source you can seek the video. If the Video Source is Live (e.g. from Camera or Internet Stream) seeking makes no sense since the source is real-time. After seeking the video you can Mark In or Mark Out the proffered interval and add the selection to the Selection List or simply get only one frame into Selection List.

Please Note:
Remember that usually when capturing from a live source the frames are interlaced therefore you need to add Deinterlace or Resample effects over each frame. Also in this mode if there is a deck control available for your camera (Usually for DV decks) you can control the camcorder from Video2Photo Software.

Apply FX

Individually on particular captured frames or on all you can add effects to correct the output or make it fancier. Those effects are plug-ins which can be used in the Apply FX screen.

Please Note:
Effects Plug-ins are DLLs (Dynamic Link Libraries) which are distributed with the software or separately by the author or third parties.

Crop Frame

Each plug-in has a user interface (sliders, checkboxes, knobs, etc.) which allows changing the effects properties. You can see the result, real-time in the small thumbnail found in the Apply FX screen. The settings are persistent during the application execution and reset to default values when starting.

Please Note:
Some Plug-ins may take a big amount of time to render the result.

Output Configuration

After applying effects to the particular frames you can tune up the output for:
  • Uncompressed BMP or compressed JPEG file sequences

  • HTML Web Gallery

  • Macromedia Shockwave Files (SWF) slideshow

  • Windows AVI with compatible Video for Windows Codecs (DivX, Indeo, Cinepak, Microsoft Video, Autodesk FLC)

Finalize

Finally you can preview or render your work. The frames will be captured and placed to the location specified in this screen. Additionally you can superimpose a text over each frame or the current date/time. To cancel the Rendering/Previewing process you need to press Cancel button.

DV Deck Control

If the installed DV driver supports deck control you can call this window and control your camcorder.

Capture Buffer
Frames

When getting frames from a Live Source (Camera) 25 frames are preserved in the memory in real-time. Ten before the capture Click and 15 after. This is very useful when trying to get the right still picture.

top


Deinterlace

Resampling the picture with 50% or applying Deinterlace effect you can get ride of the interlacing artifacts.
