We can now navigate to this precise moment and mark it as the zero point, the origin of all times for the clip.

A golferвЂ™s club-ball impact, a baseball pitcherвЂ™s release point, a long jumperвЂ™s take-off, the start of a race, etc. Many analysis scenarios involve a specific moment within the video that everything else is related to. As soon as the capture is completed, the playback automatically starts in the other screen. In this case the capture was configured to stop by itself after 2 seconds. The right screen is open using a replay folder observer on the folder where the captured videos are saved. In the above screencast, the left screen is a camera filming the stopwatch. It should even be possible to put the replay instance on a different machine on the network, copying over the captured files using a post-recording command. Typically we would use this within a single instance of Kinovea, but as it is based on the file system, we can also have a separate instance of Kinovea dedicated to replay. In this mode a playback screen is associated with an entire folder and any new video file created in this folder, usually by the capture module, will be instantly loaded and start playing. This is a new concept, completing support for a fully hands-free capture-and-replay workflow. The advantage of doing this is the storage bandwidth is only that of a grayscale video, so it cuts requirements by a factor of 3. The player has a new option to rebuild color images from raw files under menu Image > Demosaicing. This records the raw sensor images, grayscale with color implicitly encoded in a Bayer grid pattern. On top of recording uncompressed videos, we can now record вЂњrawвЂќ video streams if the camera supports it.

The simulator camera and the infobar above the capture area can be used to diagnose issues.

Modern storage options like SSD, NVMe or RAMDisks all have higher bandwidth than the USB link of the camera on the other side, so hopefully whatever the camera can send to the PC can be recorded without drops. This option is under Preferences > Capture > General. Be mindful that uncompressed videos take a lot of storage space. We can now bypass this compression step entirely and record uncompressed videos. The act of compressing the images for storage is usually the main bottleneck when recording with the typical cameras used in Kinovea (high-end webcams and machine vision cameras). You still need to toggle the option under Preferences > Capture > Recording. Capture performancesДЄ lot of care went into the performance of delayed capture, and it should now be almost on par with real-time capture. This can be useful to copy the file somewhere else or process it further. We can also run a script on the resulting file after the capture is complete. Multiple Kinovea instances can listen to the same microphone for synchronized recording by audio trigger. This is useful to create advanced setups, for example having an instance dedicated to capture and another to replay, or for instrumenting Kinovea from other programs. Each instance can use its own preferences file.

By default it will be a number in sequence but you can also use the -name argument on the command line for full control. When using multiple instances of Kinovea, each instance now has a deterministic name. When the club impact triggers the recording it will start saving the video stream from 3 seconds ago. We set the video delay to 3 seconds in the capture screen, and set вЂњstop recording by durationвЂќ to 5 seconds. For example, say we are filming a golf swing and want to capture from 3 seconds before impact to 2 seconds after it. Recording footage around an event of interest is natively supported with the existing delay feature.

This enables a hands-free, continuous recording workflow. We can now trigger recording based on microphone volume, and stop recording after a specific duration. Plenty of changes arenвЂ™t described here, please consult the full changelog for details. Special thanks to Robin Karinen, Faultењњlubs, and Reiner Hente, for their patience in spite of my continuous requests for testing buggy builds рџ… Many thanks to everybody that helped with testing this version. This version introduces capture-and-replay automation, improves capture performances, especially for delayed video, and adds many other improvements.
