Can I use the white space at the bottom of the screen when I have 2 videos open?

Written by admin, April 18th, 2008

Yes you can! Notice the small grey bar that shows up underneath your videos when you have two files open. Click your mouse anywhere inside that grey bar underneath the left video, and you will find that the RIGHT video will ’slide over’ to that position. Use this feature to position the right hand video as far over on top of the left as you can, without overlapping the athlete in the left video.

Now you can ZOOM out (use the + key) and you will find that both videos can make fuller use of the available screen space.

What are the typical sizes for AVI or WMV video files?

Written by admin, April 17th, 2008

AVI video generally consumes about to 4 to 5MB per second (at 720×480 resolution). You will want to use AVI in MotionView because this produces the highest quality and because AVI files produce the smoothest playback in forward and reverse slow motion.

Windows Media (WMV) videos typically consume about 10 MB per MINUTE at 640×480. This is the format you will want to use in MotionClip, since you will be working with much longer video segments (matches or games), and probably not doing much slow motion analysis.

Can MotionView accept data from high speed digital cameras?

Written by admin, April 17th, 2008

Yes it can! We have customers with cameras that shoot 1,000 frames per second using MotionView to analyze the video. These cameras store the footage internally during capture, so the video is first transferred to the computer outside of MotionView, where it can then be opened and analyzed.

How do I convert video to 60 frames per second (FPS)?

Written by admin, April 17th, 2008

Conversion to 60FPS takes place on the “Export Video Options” panel. To convert a video file from 30FPS to 60FPS take the following steps:

. Open the 30FPS video in MotionView, and trim any excess.
. Click the Export Video icon.
. On the Export Video Options panel select “Convert raw video into 60FPS”.
. Click OK and choose a filename for your new video.

This will produce a new video file in 60FPS. Your 30 FPS video will not be affected. Note that 60FPS conversion only works on video files that are “interlaced”, such as AVI files that were captured over firewire or over our USB Video Capture cable. You cannot convert WMV, MOV, MPEG, or other formats into 60FPS.

How do I capture video from a television (TV)?

Written by admin, April 17th, 2008

If you use our USB Video Capture Cable you can connect any analog video source to our software and capture video. This includes TV tuners, VCRs, DVD players, VHS and 8MM camcorders, etc.

How do I get video from my USB capture cable or video grabber?

Written by admin, February 26th, 2008

USB capture cables typically offer two input ports for video: “Composite” and “SVideo”. The Composite port is usually yellow in color and looks like a standard stereo connector as found on the back of VCRs. The SVideo port is usually a round, black connector, with a couple of very small sockets inside it. You will most likely need to select the “Composite” video input port before it will display your camcorders video signal. To do this, follow these steps in MotionView:

Enter the “Capture” screen in MotionView
Press the “Show Camera Controls” button.
Press the small “I/O” button on the Camera Controls Panel.

This will display a dialog box (presented by your USB video cable device driver) where you should find a selection for ”Composite”or “Svideo” as the input port to be used by the cable. Once you select the correct input port you should see the actual video coming into the cable.

A very similar method is available in MotionClip.
