Export AVI File


This command will create a Windows AVI [Audio-Video Interlaced] Movie of all of the currently loaded images. The images are sorted alphabetically and added to the AVI in that order. All images should have the same dimensions or unknown results will happen. The AVI can be compressed or uncompressed depending on the CODEC selected. You can either export the entire image, or have a selected region exported from every image. Note that all of the source images have to have the same dimensions.
 
Dialog Fields
Path This is the directory for the resulting AVI file
AVI Filename This is the filename for the new AVI
Export Selected Area Checking this option allows you to have the same area exported from every image. Note that if you have selected a region with the Pointer Tool, that region is identified as the selected area
Left This is the left side of the selected region. Note that the top left corner is 0,0.
Top This is the top of the selected region. Note that the top left corner is 0,0.
Width This is the width of the selected region.
Height This is the height of the selected region.
Frame Rate This is the number of frames per second in the AVI

After you press the OK button, you will be given the option to select a Video Compression Codec. The Codec
is used to compress the images into the AVI and to decompress the AVI when the AVI is displayed.This will make the AVI file smaller than the original set of uncompressed images. Each CODEC uses a different compression algorithm and video quality and size may vary.  In order to be able to view the AVI file on another computer, you will need to make sure that the same Codec that was used to create the AVI is installed on that computer. If you are unsure, it is recommended that you select Full Frames [uncompressed], as any PC should be able to view the AVI.

Here is an example of the Video Compression Dialog with Full Frames (Uncompressed) selected.
