capture

[marie]

Hi!
(first, sorry for my english, I'm a poor frog)

I've managed to capture pictures from my DV camera in XnView, but they don't seem to have a name and I have no clue where on earth they are stocked.
As a result, I first have to save each of them in a proper directory before I can appply a Convert multiple.
I'm a bit annoyed...

my aim was to perform a little animated sequence (I would later import the directory in Premiere and add soundtrack. By the way, there used to be a Capture Stopmotion button in Premiere but it does no longer exist, a pity for crappy animator like me)

Hello Marie !

(first, sorry for my english, I'm a poor frog)

• Maybe that the French forum is made for the frogs ?

- Well, normally, XnView might give a default-name to each picture it processes… If you acquire an image from a camera, you might be prompted to save it…

- If you know the date (even roughly), you could make a Search from the Tool Menu, so (if lucky) you could find out the ghost-pictures, how they are named and so on… The result of the Search is always displayed (currently…) as a board of thumb-nails.
- Use *.* for the upper field (File) and tick the box Format >> "All graphic formats"…
…light a candel and pray !

Kind regards,
Claude

Merci Claude!!

I hadn't seen there was a french forum... I'll check it of course!

I've tried the Search, looking for a file named scan (that's how the captured pictures are called) in C: with a look in the sub-directories, it scanned it but nothing came out.
I've also looked in Programm Files/XnView, to check if there was a directory for a captured pictures, I haven't found anything.

Maybe I'll just have to save each frame one by one, or better I will use the scan assistant of WXP, which does give a name and a place to captured pictures and then use XnView to modify my pictures.
