DYNAMIC SIMULATIONS As we advance in technical capability, tools for teaching include media implementation. An example: In the frame of this project the main focus is set on a qualitative description of the incoming waves into the calculation room used within a numerical tool solving Maxwell’s equations to obtain SAR distributions in a phantom. 1 1.

OVERVIEW OF TUTORIAL • Demonstration of recording video, editing, and saving. • Handouts of the steps are provided for reference. • CD with related content is available. • Brief overview of animation. • Virtual Reality Modeling Library MATLAB (VRML) 10/16/2009 10

STEP 1 (RECORDING VIDEO) 1. Turn Camera on. 2. Go into Camera settings. (The LPPD camcorder uses a touchscreen LCD) 3. Go into movie settings. 4. Change movie settings. 5. Go into rec mode. 6. Select record mode (LP mode is recommended for less file size) 7. Press the go back button to exit the menu. 8. Press Record button to record video. 10/16/2009 11

STEP 2 (CONNECTING CAMERA TO PC) 1. Connect camera to hub. (There is a female – male connection between the hub and camera) 2. Connect USB cable to computer and hub. The power cable must be plugged in as well. 3. Turn camera on. 4. You should see the LCD display the connection screen. 5. Press the computer button. 10/16/2009 12

STEP 3 (SAVING VIDEO TO COMPUTER) 1. With camera connected to computer via hub, windows should automatically detect the hardware. 2. Open folder to view files. 3. Click on MP ROOT. 4. Click on 101 PNV 01. 5. Select and copy video files to your designated hard drive location. 10/16/2009 13

STEP 4 (CONVERTING. MPG TO. WMV) The video editing software we will use requires windows media audio/video format. 1. Open Media. Coder 0. 6. 4. The program can be installed from the provided cd. http: //www. mediacoderhq. com/ 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Add file by clicking on add tab. Then, in the bottom portion of the screen you can adjust your output audio and video settings by clicking on the audio and video tabs. For audio output, use Windows Media Audio/ For video output, select Windows Media. In the container tab, you can specify. avi, . mpg, or another format. (select default) Also note the location of the file to be converted. This can be specified in the top right portion of the window. (Click on the open tab) Click the start tab to begin the process of converting. 10/16/2009 14

STEP 5 (LOADING FILES INTO EDITING SOFTWARE) The default program we will use is windows movie maker which comes pre-installed on windows xp computers. 1. Open Windows Movie Maker (usually under accessories – entertainment) 2. Click on import video and select file. 3. Disable the split large video into smaller clips. 4. You should see your video clip in the my collections pane. 5. To load a picture, follow a similar procedure as adding a video clip. (Click on import picture in the tasks pane, and select the picture. You should see the picture in the my collections pane) 10/16/2009 15

STEP 6 (EDITING AND SAVING YOUR MOVIE PROJECT) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. In the bottom portion of your screen you will see a timeline of your movie. To add a file to your timeline select it from my collections and drag it into the timeline. To trim a video clip, place your cursor over one end of the clip. You will see an option to trim the clip. To add a Title, or subtitles, you may click on the edit movie options in the movie tasks window. Follow the instructions and click done to return to the storyboard. You should see your Title clip in the bottom portion of the screen. To smooth the transition of files in your movie project, click and drag the file in the timeline and slowly merge the two files together. When done click finish movie and specify location. 10/16/2009 16

SCREEN CAPTURE • Want to record computer screen? • simulation, computer animation, etc. • Free Screen Video Capture • http: //www. topviewsoft. com/free-screen-video-capture. html 10/16/2009 17

TECHNICAL DETAILS Compatibility Advised to use wmv format Presenting your movie: Make sure your movie plays in ppt before you present! Make sure videos are saved in same folder! Movie Name length should not be too long Try inserting object link instead of insert movie Check display settings on the computer Right click desktop Select properties Change resolution or Click advanced decrease hardware acceleration or decrease screen refresh rate Go to Slide Show Settings Use hardware acceleration Option to use two monitors Typing notes at bottom of presentation - set up slide show in presenter view 10/16/2009 18
