Movie

Use Movie to view image data in a window as a sequence of movie frames. This can be particularly useful when looking at volume-rendered data or a sequence of time points. When Movie is activated from the main DeltaVision menu, controls for all currently open (and not iconified) windows will be shown on the movie menu. If you activate Movie from the View menu of an individual image window, only that window will be controlled by the Movie tool.

Window #

This toggle button determines whether or not to loop through the data of the specified window number.

Z

Using these text fields, you can specify the Start and End Z Section to animate through, as well as an Increment.

Time

For Time Lapse data, you can specify a subset of the time points to view by choosing a Start and End time point as well as an Increment.

Manual Z Control

If you are animating Time Lapse data, you can use this slider control to change the Z Section.

Loop

This option menu gives you the choice of stepping through the sections Forward, Backward, or Forward then Backward (sometimes called "Swing").

Time Lapse

Toggle this button On if you want to animate through Time sections instead of Z Sections.

Repeat Delay

This lets you adjust how much time to pause between repeating the display of a sequence of frames. It only applies when the Loop mode is Forward or Backward.

Frame Speed

This slider lets you adjust how quickly the frames are displayed. When set to the minimum value, the frames will be displayed as fast as possible.

Paused

This toggle button determines whether or not the movie is being displayed. Toggle the Paused button Off to start the movie.

Reset

The Reset button sets all windows back to Z Section 1 and Time Point 1.
