Playing and Manipulating Your Video
Now that you have your video captured - Just how do you play it, pause it, and jump
between your key positions? First of all, now that your video is resident on the
computer, we'll start calling it a movie.
VIS makes all of these operations easy. You can use either the toolbar, the computer
keyboard or the mouse as movie player controls.
Toolbar Control
|
You can completely control and manipulate your movie from the toolbar across the bottom
of the screen. There are buttons for playing it just like the buttons on your VCR.
The toolbar controls include:
- Standard play, pause, and stop
- Jump to beginning and Jump to end
- move forward a single frame
- move backward a single frame
- mark key frames
- jump forward/backward between key frames
- play real time
- loop
- synchronizing multiple movies
|
KEY FRAMES
VIS uses the concept of Key Frames to mark points
of interest in the movie. When playing two movies simultaneously, the two match each
other at the Key Frames. Thus, for instance in a golf swing, perhaps key marks for
the top of the swing and at impact time two golfers with different tempos and allow
comparison at important - KEY- points of the motion.
Key Frames are marked simply by hitting either the K key on the
keyboard or the K on the playback toolbar. A second K will unmark the frame. |

Keyboard Control
You can also control playback and key frame marking from the keyboard. The Arrow
keys and Page Up/Down keys serve as the playback control while the K
key marks Key Frames.
Mouse Control
The mouse can also be used for playback control by selecting the frame indicator bar
underneath the movie. The roller on many mice will also act as a
jog-shuttle to move through the movie.
