<div class="page-header"><h1>Settings</h1></div>
|
|
<div class="page-content"><h2>Settings</h2>
|
|
<p>You can access the settings by clicking on the settings button in the main interface.</p>
|
|
<p>The settings Window is divided into two main parts :</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>the <strong>basic settings</strong>, where you can change the name of the output file and its location</li>
|
|
<li>the <strong>advanced settings</strong>, where you can change the behaviour of the algorithm itself</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h3>Basic Settings</h3>
|
|
<p>This is the default page opened when you click on settings.</p>
|
|
<p><center>
|
|
<p><img alt="Main interface" src="../theme/images/blog/s1.png" /></p>
|
|
</center></p>
|
|
<p>The basic settings page contains only elements:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The output location chooser, where you can change where the timelapse will be saved</li>
|
|
<li>The name chooser, where you can change the name of your timelapse.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h3>Advanced Settings</h3>
|
|
<p>The advanced settings page contain several option you can adjust to modify the timelapse creation algorithm behavior.</p>
|
|
<p><center>
|
|
<p><img alt="Main interface" src="../theme/images/blog/s2.png" /></p>
|
|
</center></p>
|
|
<h3>Speed of the video</h3>
|
|
<p>With the speed option, you can select the <strong>framerate of the generated timelapse</strong>.
|
|
The slower you choose, the more delay is added between each frame.</p>
|
|
<p>Basically, the accessible framerates with the speed option are 3, 6 and 9 frames per second.</p>
|
|
<h3>Processing mode</h3>
|
|
<p>The processing mode in Ivolution defines the type of video output you desire.
|
|
There are two main processing types : <strong>conservative</strong>, and <strong>crop</strong>.</p>
|
|
<p>To understand the difference between those two types, you have to know the way Ivolution handles images.
|
|
To create a nice timelapse, each image is resized so that <strong>the faces always keeps the same scale</strong> during the whole video.
|
|
Each image is also moved so that <strong>the faces always stays in the same place</strong>, even if they are in a different part of the image.</p>
|
|
<p>You can easily understand this concept by looking at the difference between each mode in this video :</p>
|
|
<p><center>
|
|
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/dXuGMZk9_U8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
|
|
</center></p>
|
|
<p>By choosing the <strong>conservative mode</strong>, all of your images are entirely used.
|
|
This means that none of the images are cropped, and that black borders are added to keep the same dimension over all the video.</p>
|
|
<p>On the opposite, you can choose the <strong>crop mode</strong> if you don't want any black border in the video.
|
|
In this case, the images are cropped to fill the maximum space available.
|
|
This gives nicer results, as the video does not contain black borders, but keep in mind the the resolution of the video is also reduced in this case.</p>
|
|
<h3>Face Type</h3>
|
|
<p>The face type defines the type of video you want to have in output.
|
|
Basically, there are two main different types : <strong>profile faces</strong> and <strong>front faces</strong>.</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Profile face mode</strong> expects your images to contain profile faces. Examples of use can be pregnant women that want to see their belly over time.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Front face mode</strong> is the most common mode, perfect if you take front pictures of you. All of the examples you can see on this website use front configuration.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h3>Sort method</h3>
|
|
<p>The sort method defines <strong>the way images are sorted</strong> in the video.
|
|
The default mode is <strong>filename</strong>, in which images will be sorted in name order.
|
|
This mode is perfect for most images coming from cameras and webcams, as the file name contains the date at which the image was taken.
|
|
Using this mode, you can also choose to sort the files in the order you want (by naming them yourselves numerically).</p>
|
|
<p>The other possible mode uses the <strong>EXIF metadata</strong> embedded in the picture.
|
|
The EXIF metadata contain a special location for the creation date, and Ivolution can use it to sort pictures chronologically.
|
|
Be careful though, because pictures may not contain metadata.</p>
|
|
<p>If you are not sure, simply leave the default option.</p></div>
