26 EN | CREATING A SLIDE SHOW OR AN ANIMATION |
You can create a slide show or an animation in which a series of still images are displayed, and then save those images as a movie file (extension “.avi”).
[Slide Show]: Still images are displayed for several seconds each, one at a time.
[Animation]: Several still images are displayed per second. We recommend that you select a series of still images that create the appearance of continuous movement.
1Holding down the Shift key or the Ctrl key, select several still images.
2Click [Movie].
The [Movie Settings] dialog box appears.
3Select either [Slide Show] or [Animation], which ever is desired.
●For a slide show, set the length of the interval (in seconds).
●For an animation, set the number of displayed frames (images) per second.
4Set the following items when necessary.
●[Image Size]: Select the size of the movie file.
●[Compressor]: Select the type of compressor.
●[Back Color]: This item is used if the aspect ratio of the images is not 4:3.
5Click [OK].
The [Save As] dialog box appears.
6Specify the location where you want to save the file, input the file name, and then click [Save].
●The file name can be changed.
The movie file is saved, and a confirmation message that asks if you want to play the movie now appears.
7Click [Yes].
The movie file is played back.
NOTES:
●If you change the [Compressor] item, make sure that the playback system supports that type of compressor.
●Depending on the selected type for [Compressor], a movie file cannot be created.
●In some cases, the settings in the [Video Compression] dialog box are invalid.
