Description:
Works identically to the Export dialog.
Notes:
Set compression options in the Preferences dialog Export tab.
JPG,TIF and BMP formats will save one image per frame, with frame numbers appended to the filename. JPGPadded, TIFPadded, and BMPPadded pad the frame numbers to 4 digits.
Plain TIF files are uncompressed while TIFLZW uses the lossless LZW compression. It is recommended over uncompressed files. JPG is a lossy compression, but it is preferred if no further analysis of exported images will be performed.
Plain AVI and MOV use mpeg4 compression. Please adjust the bitrate of the video in the Preferences dialog Export tab.To save h264 or mpeg4 compressed AVI, MOV or MP4 files no additional software or codecs are required. AVI-Windows epxort allows using encoder codecs installed in the Windows. Some codecs may require adjustments in settings to perform exports. Some codecs require specific image dimensions e.g. width divisible by 4 and height by 2.
Suggestions: use x264vfw with realtime setting, use divx with default settings or use full frames and external compression software.
Hint: to create snapshots of image window, first select default export folder in File/Export folder locations main menu, and then use this function with an empty file name field.
To automatically generate file names use the following example:
=%LoadFolderName%_%LoadBaseName%%BACK%%LoadPositionNumber:2%w1.txt
Use any string after = and include any of the variables below between % marks; :n pads to n digits
%BACK% or %BACK:n% is (n times) backspace
Variables referring to last opened image set: %LoadFolderName%, %LoadFileName%, %LoadFileExt%, %LoadBaseName%, %LoadPositionNumber%, %LoadPositionName%, %LoadPositionCount%, %LoadPlateRow%, %LoadPlateCol%, %DocumentsFolder%, %PipelinesFolder%, %MyPipelinesFolder%
%LoadBaseName% refers to the common part of filenames within all opened files, with trailing zeros removed.
%LoadFolderName% refers to the name of the folder, that contains all of the opened files, not the path.
%LoadFolder%, %DocumentsFolder%, %PipelinesFolder%, %MyPipelinesFolder% refer to full path to the given location.
When only filename is given after the = the default folder is used. Relative path (e.g. =folder\file.txt) is appended to the default path. If no filename is given for saving, the Image Window name and default extension are used. Set default folders in the File/Set Folder Locations... menu point. Importantly, if no = is used in the beginning of the filename, then the full path needs to be entered.
Characters incompatible with the Windows files system are automatically removed from the save name. Variables and commands are case sensitive.
