Adding Filenames to images in a video

[haraldverbraak]

Dear all,

I am making a video of a stack of images by clicking File>Import>Image Sequence.

Now I want to add the filename to each of these images in the video, but I do not know how I can do this.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Harald

Hi Harald, if you want to show the filenames you can use "Image/Stacks/Label...", choosing "Label" option in the field "Format".
Hope this can help you.

Regards,
Rocco

Hi Rocco,

thanks for the answer. But I co not have the "Label"-option in the "Image/Stacks/Label".

Do you know how I can get it?

Regards,
Harald

Here is a macro that adds file names to a stack of images imported using File>Import>Image Sequence.

-wayne

  setFont("SansSerif", 14);
  setColor("white");
  Overlay.remove;
  for (i=1; i<=nSlices; i++) {
     setSlice(i);
     name = getMetadata("Label");
     index = indexOf(name, "\n");
     if (index>0)
        name = substring(name, 0, index);
     Overlay.drawString(name, 5, 20);
     Overlay.setPosition(i);
  }
  Overlay.show;

Hi Wayne,

 

Thanks for the macro.

 

ImageJ is giving an error in this macro that is associated with “Overlay.setPosition(i)”, though.

 

I cannot figure out what causes the error. Have you seen this before?

 

Regards,

Harald

Hi Harald,

please update to the latest version of ImageJ (Help>Update ImageJ). It is likely that the error was caused by an ImageJ version earlier than 1.48i.
