Analyzer workspace

The Analyzer workspace is illustrated below:


Its main constituents are:

Video Screen - to display the clip(s).

Timeline - (underneath the video screen), to control the playhead position and set the cue in/out points to define the playable part of the video (play range).

Play controls - (underneath the timeline) to control the video playback.

Display mode - (top-left) to change the screen display. You can select among Single-screen, Split-screen, Blend and Mosaic modes. The A, B, C and D buttons show/hide a clip. In split-screen modes, they are used to select between up to four clips to display simultaneously.

Image Enhancement tools - (underneath the C, D buttons) to zoom in/out or flip the images.

Drawing tools - (on the right) to draw on the video.

Storyboard - (underneath the play controls) contains the different analysis of an Analyzer project.

Publishing - (on the right of the storyboard) to publish your analysis on different media (CD, e-mail, printer, Internet) or to create a movie of the Storyboard.

Notes - (at the bottom) to add written and audio comments. To see this area it may be necessary to resize the Analyzer views area. This is done by click and dragging its top border using the mouse shape shown in the following illustration.

You can switch between different views using the following tabs

The Data Graph is used to display external data streams (such as the heartrate, speeds, etc.) captured by external devices such as radar, heartrate monitors, force platforms etc. Such streams are synchronized with the video. More information can be downloaded on http://www.dartfish.com/downloads.
