Export Movies

Use the Movies option to export images:

  • To a QuickTime movie (.mov) or,
  • Individual JPEG images to be made into a movie using third party software

This feature is primarily used with the Pearl Imaging System. An animal injected with fluor-labeled dye can be imaged at regular intervals. The Movies option allows the images to be compiled into a movie so the path of dye through the animal can be visualized.

To export a movie:

    Images being used to make a movie must be the same resolution and scan area.

    To do this:


    A) Use the Filter option to filter the Images table so only images of the same resolution and scan area are present in the table.


    B) Or, select the images to be exported and filter by selection.
