Importing Video Frames

Note: Importing video frames is not available in PhotoAcute Studio version for Mac OSX.

You can import a sequence of video frames from video files.
Click Open button or press 'O' and select video file in the dialog. After choosing the video file, you should select the range of the frames to be imported. This is done by choosing the start position of the selection and the number of frames in it. All the frames in the selection will be imported as the separate pictures. You can then exclude any of the frames from processing if needed.

Note: PhotoAcute Studio is capable of loading video files in different formats depending on the set of video codecs installed.

You might need to install additional codecs in order to import video. Two standard Windows video interfaces are supported: VFW and DirectShow (experimental). Codecs for both interfaces are readily available on the Internet. We recommend to setup free FFDShow codec pack. It has support for many popular video compression formats and can be configured to work through VFW interface (recommended).

The following controls can be used to select frames to be imported:

Upper scale
Use to select position in video file from which import will begin.

Lower scale
Use to select how many frames will be imported.

Buttons
Use dialog buttons as an alternative way to navigate in the video file. Upper buttons are used to change the position of the first frame, lower buttons are used to select the number of frames in the selection:

	Move to the beginning of the video file
	Move to the previous key frame
	Move to the previous frame
	Move to the next frame
	Move to the next key frame
	Move to the end of the video file

List of profiles
Select which profile will be used for superresolution processing.
For interlaced profiles the frames will be automatically deinterlaced into even and odd fields when loaded.
