Making Movies

Top  Previous  Next

FlexPDE version 5 has simplified the process of creating movies from problem data.

 

1) The process of replaying a movie from a stored .PG5 file has been modified to create smooth replay. 

You can use the "View | Frame Delay" menu item to set the delay between frames (default 500 ms).
Double-click to maximize a selected frame in the thumbnail display
Click "View | Movie" to replay all the instances of the selected frame.
Click "View | Restart" whenever you wish to begin a new replay, to move the reader to the beginning of the file.

 

2) A new facility "Export Movie" has been added to the "View" menu. 

Double-click to maximize a selected frame in the thumbnail display.
Click "View | Export Movie". This will bring up a selection dialog to set the export parameters.
The selected frame will be scanned as for Movie, and all files will be written according to the selected parameters.
Use JASC AnimationShop to assemble the individual files into a GIF animation.
Use GIF2SWF or other conversion program to create Flash animations.
