Movie Editor

With the Movie Editor you can load, edit and save movies.

Description

With Movie Editor you can:
- Load movies (avi's only)
- Cut movies
- Crop movies
- Split movies into separate color layers
- Rotate movies
- Save movies as avi or mpg (thanks to David Foti)
- Save independent frames as bmp, jpg, png, and tif
- You can always stroll through the movie using the slider and edittext underneath the image (maybe somebody can combine it with the 'Interactive MATLAB Movie Player' of Don Orofino.
Maybe you can add a function? The user interface is pretty self-explanatory. But questions are welcome. An example of a before- and after-movie are added to the zip-file.

Note: the settings in the Save Movie window have no influence if the file is saved as mpg; this is a work in progress.

Very flexible program to control my dogs virtual reality movies. Very helpfull to convert the different colors to adapt to my powerpoint slides.

Perfect way to convert my camera-angels to do triangle bipidal movements on the virtual tour signed multi-platform level in breaking the first timers! Nice! Oh sorry, I need to eat some cheese!

When I run 'movieeditor' it gives the following error:
movieeditor.m Line: 73 Column: 12
Expected a variable, function, or constant, found "&".

What did I do wrong?

[Eduard van der Zwan]

line 73 says:
if nargin && ischar(varargin{1})
&& is a short circuit version of &. It looks like you have an older version of matlab which can not handle short circiut logical operators. I can not make a suggestion about changes to make the movie editor work on your version because there are manny fucntions only available in matlab 7. The only thing I can suggest is try to get matlab 7.

I rate my program as excellent. Of course and why not? It is the best around. Don't call me narcistic. It is just the truth!

[Daniel Wakefield]

An absolute godsend for someone who needs to edit movies for processing. It would be great if the program could crop to rotated rectangles, but even as-is it is excellent.
