Video Capure Macro Tool

[Jose Agosto Rivera]

Dear ImageJ users,

I installed ImageJ and was trying to use the plugin called "Video Capure
Macro Tool" but encounter a small problem following the set up instructions
(link for instructions:
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/macros/tools/VideoCaptureTool.txt). My problem is
that in step 11 of the instructions "Right-click the capture (camera) icon
to set the capture options" *I don't know where to find the "capture
(camera) icon" and therefore I can not proceed with the set up. *Could
someone help me out with this issue?

Thank you very much,
Jose L. Agosto

When you install the video capture tool (Plugins/Capture/Install), a small
camera icon appears in the icon toolbar of ImageJ. Right-click this camera
icon to choose parameters for the capture, and left click it to actually do
the capture.

Note that this tool captures video frames using the free Windows application
VirtualDub, which must be installed separately.  If you only want to capture
snapshots from a video camera, you can otherwise use AMCap

Dear ImageJ users,

Thank you very much for the previous reply. I installed the video capture
tool following the set up instructions (
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/macros/tools/VideoCaptureTool.txt) but the small
camera icon does not show up. Are there other installation instructions for
the video capture tool?  Could someone help me out with this.
Thank you very much,

Jose

Hi Jose,

did you install the macro? If it is open in a text window, there is  
an 'Install' command in the 'Macro' menu of the text window.

If you need it more often, copy it into the StartupMacros.txt file of  
ImageJ/macros.
(If you have done that and it does not show up, maybe you have more  
tools than the toolbar can show).

Michael
