The Venus 1500 Message Studio
Tutorial 71
The maximum AVI file sizes are as follows:
For Version 2 controlled displays, up to 25 frames of an AVI file may be imported for
each message.
Version 3 displays (but not GalaxyPro) can import up to 300 frames as long as the
entire file size does not exceed 1MB.
GalaxyPro displays are able to support up to 1200 message frames and a file size of
64 MB (exception: 600 frames for Windows 98 or ME versions).
NOTE: AVI files can only be imported into graphic frames.
Only uncompressed AVI files are supported by Venus 1500.
1.
Create a graphic frame.
2.
Open the File menu.
3. Select Import > Video.
4.
Locate the desired video to be imported and double-click on it. The Video Import
window will open with a preview of the video being imported. In the center of the
video, a rectangle appears that represents the size of the display. With the Image Tab on
the bottom right, move the video to fit the rectangle. The Image Tab allows the selection
of the area to be imported.
5.
With the Frame Tab, move the frame to fit the video appropriately. It is also possible to
move a video within the frame. The frame cannot be moved by itself; only the video
that was selected under Image Tab can be moved on the Frame Tab (Figure 98).
6.
Whatever is inside the rectangle will be displayed. To move the box, place the cursor
inside it. When the four-directional or cross arrows appear, drag the box in the
desired direction.
7.
To stretch the box, place the
four-directional arrows on the
small squares on the borders of
the rectangle. Two directional
arrows
appear.
8.
Stretch the borders with the
two-directional arrows so that
the box encloses the whole
image or the part of the image
to be imported.
