Comparing Multiple Movies

One of the most useful features of  VIS is the ability to compare multiple movies.   If you're like the rest of us, you are an old hand at drawing with a dry erase pen on your television screen to have reference lines on your videos, and you've lost several protractors in the shuffle of papers around your video set-up.  So, what's my point?   So far, VIS hasn't really given you much capability that you didn't already have. Well, that all changes with the ability to play two or more performers against each other or compare multiple views of the same performance.

How does it work?

First, you choose your screen layout.  You have lots of choices for the screen layout: two movies - one on top of the other; two movies - side by side;  the same layouts with three movies;  or one movie the full screen height and two smaller ones beside it.

After you choose your best layout, you load the movies you want to compare in their respective windows and then play them movies simultaneously.  Remember the KEY FRAMES mentioned earlier?  Well, the movies time themselves so that they are all  at the KEY FRAMES at the same time.  If you are just moving to KEY FRAMES, the movies all match up as you increment.

You can draw the same reference lines in each movie for a reference of how the performers move differently, or add a grid in one and lines in another.
