This option allows you to make a movie (or a fast slideshow) of false color images. It is suggested that you begin
by opening an image, setting the color scale the way you want it, and clicking on "Disable Automatic Image
Rescale". This will ensure that all frames show with the same maximum/minimum. Click
on "Show Movie Controls" to bring up a new window. "New Movie" initializes the sequence.
Each time you have a false-color image that has been read in and optimized the way you like it, click on "Add Frame"
to add that image to the buffer. When you have all images you want, click "Play" to show the sequence and "Stop" to
stop showing the sequence. Click on "Save" to save the final result as a .avi file. An avi file
can be read by most movie players, and can also be imported into an application such as Powerpoint for
presentation purposes.
The drop-down menu shows the nominal delay between frames, in milliseconds. The actual time may vary depending on the speed of your computer and how many other processes are running. The movie option can also be accessed programmatically in the Batch mode using the INITIALIZEMOVIE, ADDMOVIEFRAME, PLAYMOVIE, and SAVEMOVIE options. You can also add frames as one of the options under Process Multiple Files, and you can save a movie using the File->Save Movie menu item. |
