Merge Frames View

You can merge still images captured from a video in the order of the time code to create an image depicting the flow of a moving subject.

Select the images you want to merge in the Video Frame Capture view, then click Merge Frames to switch to the Merge Frames view.

Important

  • You can merge between 5 and 30 still images.
  • Still images corrected in the Correct view cannot be used. The original uncorrected still images will be used.

Note

  • It is recommended that you use still images captured from a video recorded with a steady camera (fixed to a tripod, etc.) without zooming or adjusting focus while recording.
  • Some portions of subjects may appear transparent if frames in which moving subjects overlap are selected.
  • Frames may not merge properly in the following cases.

    • When using a video recorded in a place where the background is moving
    • When frames in which moving subjects/shadows overlap are selected
    • When using a video recorded in a place where moving subjects and the background have similar colors and shapes
    • When using a video in which the brightness or lighting changed while recording
    • When using a video recorded using special functions such as miniature effect
