Adding synchronized video to Visual3D

Often it is useful for view video files along with the animation and data in Visual3D. This tutorial outlines how this is done.

It is assumed that synchronized video was recorded together with dynamic trial. Video recorded by Miqus Video is automatically synchronized with motion data.

1. In QTM open trial with the video included.

2. Switch to 2D view and select view(s) you want to include in final video (1). If you wish to include 3d overlay, right click on 2d camera view (2).

   

3. Navigate to File -> Export -> To AVI.

4. In “AVI Export Settings” select appropriate Window settings and Video settings.

   

   Check the box "Use window dimensions".

   Frame rate: It is best to use the same frame rate that was used for recording the video.

   Playback speed: Set to 100%.

   Codec: ffdshow is recommended, make sure it is set up correctly (see QTM help). Other Codecs may also be used but should be tested first.

   Use QTM Help for further details on these settings.

5. In Visual3D, open cmo file and navigate to File > Add/Modify Synchronized Video Files.

6. Select correct motion files (1), click Associate Video File with Selected Motion File (2) and find the video exported from QTM. Close the window (3).

   

7. Make the file with associated video the active file. Video will appear. Now you can play video synchronously with the motion file. Use View > View synchronised video to turn the video window on or off.
