Outline
What is Video
Acquiring with a Digital Camera
Creating with ImageJ
Editing with QuickTime
Delivering in a Webpage
General Video Issues
Image sizeKeep it small
320 x 240 is not uncommon
Image color depthNormally full color
Video LengthThe shorter the better
This file is ~ 5.5 meg in QuickTime and it is 17 seconds
General Video Issues
Frame rate: recall difference between apparent motion and flicker
10 to 15 is really fine for most cases
And best you can expect on web
Acquiring with a Digital Camera
Find format of your video camera mine is QuickTime
Can use digital zoomoriginal camera images are much larger than movie images so will be shrunk down
And digital zoom is before movie image
Acquiring with a Digital Camera
Hold camera still or not?Movies are limited in duration
mine is 30 sec or size of disk for 320x240
It is 120 sec if 160x120
Image quality is reasonably good if presented in original sizeBut image quality may be reduced to get on web
Creating Animations with ImageJ
Stacks Sequence of images to be played
Found under Image menu
Open the desired sequence in order
Image: Stacks: Convert Images to Stack
Can add and remove images (a Slice) under the same menu
Create Animations with ImageJ
Stack MenuCan control frame rate under:
Image: Stacks: Animation Options
Get AVI writer plugin to save as a movie
Create Animations with ImageJ
Useful for making a slideshow
A frame rate of 1 frame per second is good
And as slow as can have in ImageJ
Slideshows
Can also do slideshows in web pages
In FrontPage it is built inInsert: Web Component
Dynamic Effects: Banner Ad Manager
Limited in number of images to 9
Here is an example
Editing with QuickTime Pro
Open more than one
BasicsOpens MOV, mpg, avi, mp3, etc.
Get Movie Information on Movie Menu (ctrl-j in Windows)
Tracks: separate slices of information: played at same time as other tracks
Look under the Edit menu
Basic Editing
Selecting a region to editUse guides at bottom
Called In and Out Markers
Selected region is darkened
Arrow keys to fine tune
Cut and Paste operationPaste is at playback head
Adding Tracks
Copy as beforeUse Edit: Add – adds the video track
Use Edit: Extract TracksThen Edit: Add
Can extract sound this way to a movie
Can add scaled so new track is not length of old movie
More Advanced Editing with QuickTime Pro
Adding text to beginningMake any graphic
Resize to movie size so know how it will look
Select al (ctrl-A)
Then cut and paste to beginning
Another paste for each additional frame
More Advanced Editing with QuickTime Pro
Overlaying TextUse a gif file with a transparent background
Use a text fileFile: Import
Any .txt
Press Option button– Select keyed text
– Change background to white and foreground to text color
– I like changing it to bold
Add tracks as before
More Advanced Editing with QuickTime Pro
Filtering portions of movieDelete regions do not want to filter
Use the export function
Click on Options
Click on Filter
Pick pattern
Use cut and paste to reassemble
Saving for Web
Format:You must compress
Uncompressed files will be very large
Lead very slow download
DurationFor same reason, keep videos short
To Stream or Not to Stream
SteamingStarts sooner
Can be large files
Can stop
Generally low quality
General Protocol RTP/RTSP
Regular DeliveryWait for entire file
Keep to small files
Keeps Speed
Better quality
Streaming vs. HTTP Fast Start
HTTP Fast Start is a feature of QuickTime
Allows playing after part of file downloaded
Fewer stops
No special software
Still keep files relatively small
Some loss of image quality
