The Video Viewer displays up to four video images (of the
*.mpg
, *.mov
or other
files). However it is possible to link more than four video files.
To make videos (in)visible click in the Elan menu and (un)check a video file name.
A video file will not be unlinked when it is made invisible in this
way.
Note that you can right click on the video viewer to
detach it, i.e. create a separate window for
the video. To re-attach the video window, right click on it and
select attach.
To change the size of the video viewer you don't need to detach the video viewer. Instead, you can drag the vertical divider on the right side of the window up and down to make the video viewer respectively smaller and bigger (see also Figure 4.56).

Saving a static picture might sometimes cause a freeze of the program on MacOS X. This issue is being investigated. |
Clicking on a video copies the coordinates of the mouse cursor relative to the upper left corner of the video to the clipboard. The coordinates can have different formats depending on the modifier key used:
no modifier key: x,y [original width,
original height]
, where x and y are
coordinates in the original coordinate system.
with ALT key:
x,y
where x and y are between
0 and 1 (0.000, 1.000) identifying a relative position in the
(0,0,width,height) image space.
with SHIFT key:
x,y
where x and y are
coordinates in the original coordinate system (not bothering
about original dimension or aspect ratio)
