Publishing StroMotion

Creating StroMotion results is done using a Publishing wizard almost identical to that used by SimulCam. It is initiated by clicking the Publish button in the final step of StroMotion and StroMotion Fixed projects.

Publishing can produce a choice of two results described below. After selecting an output type and clicking the Next button, the remaining steps are described fully in the SimulCam chapter (see Publishing new video clips in the Simulcam chapter).


StroMotion still image

A bitmap (.bmp) picture of all clones superimposed on the background. If a panning camera was used, clones are superimposed on a panoramic background image. An example of this is shown below.


Although bitmap and jpeg images will appear in the Items List, no Dartfish modules are used to display them; if opened from the Items List they will actually be opened using default Windows image display/editing software on your computer.


StroMotion video

The original video has each clone appear and remain on the video image as the movement develops.
