|
|
<div><p>Settings</p>
|
|
<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 :
|
|
- the basic settings, where you can change the name of the output file and its location
|
|
- the advanced settings, where you can change the behaviour of the algorithm itself</p>
|
|
<p>Basic Settings</p>
|
|
<p>The basic settings page contains only elements:
|
|
- The output location chooser, where you can change where the timelapse will be saved
|
|
- The name chooser, where you can change the name of your timelapse.</p>
|
|
<p>Advanced Settings</p>
|
|
<p>The advanced settings page contain several option you can adjust to modify the timelapse creation algorithm behavior.</p>
|
|
<p>Speed of the video</p>
|
|
<p>With the speed option, you can select the framerate of the output video.
|
|
The slower you choose, the more time is added between each frame.</p>
|
|
<p>Basically, the accessible framerates with the speed option are 3, 6 and 9 faces per second.</p>
|
|
<p>Processing mode</p>
|
|
<p>The processing mode in Ivolution defines the type of video output you desire.
|
|
There are two main processing types : conservative, and crop.</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 the face always has the same scale during the whole video.
|
|
Each image is also moved so that the face always stays in the same place, even if it is in a different part of the image.</p>
|
|
<p>You can easily understand this concept by looking at the difference with and without modification</p>
|
|
<p>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZpKnSjvmXo</p>
|
|
<p>By choosing the conservative mode, you will have the exact same result as in the previous video.
|
|
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 crop mode 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>
|
|
<p>Face Type</p>
|
|
<p>The face type defines the type of video you want to have in output.
|
|
Basically, there are two main different types : profile and front faces.</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Profile mode expects your images to contain profile faces. Examples of use can be pregnant women that want to see their belly over time.</li>
|
|
<li>Front face 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>
|
|
<p>Sort method</p>
|
|
<p>The sort method defines the way images are sorted in the video.
|
|
The default mode is filename, 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 EXIF metadata 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, leave the default option.</p></div>
