Description

The Movie tool allows the user to play a video image within the viewer/slide. The tool allows the user to play specific points in the movie, to loop the movie for continuous play, and to run text slides over top of the movie.


Using the Movie Tool

Drag and drop the movie into the main sequence.
Pass the CIFViewer into the tool's inputs page.
Once the parameters are set the run the tool and the image will play.
Press the Stop button to stop the video from playing (this is one of the options that pops up when the tool is right clicked).

This tool may also be used in conjunction with the slide tool and the information within it. Go into the slide tool's slide page and clear out the background. This will allow all text information to be displayed overtop of the video sequence when the tools are run together.
