Save ND2 as AVI

You can easily create an AVI movie from an ND2 file. Run the File > Save As command and select the AVI format in the Save As Type pull-down menu. The window will extend by the following options:

Use Default Video Compression

Either leave this box checked or select which video compression will be applied to the movie file. See About Video Compression.

XY Loop

When the ND document contains XY points, you can decide how these are saved.

Current XY

Only the currently selected XY loop will be saved as a movie.

All XY in separate files

A movie will be saved for each XY loop present in the ND2 file. An automatic number will be appended to the file name.

Output Timing Parameters

Timing of frames of the resulting AVI movie may equal the Original Acquisition Time. If this does not suit your needs, define a custom interval in ms.

Experiment Loop

Select the dimension, frames of which will be used to create the AVI movie.

Use Time Loop

The T dimension frames of the current Z stack position will be used.

Use Z-stack Loop

The Z dimension frames of the current Time position will be used.

Use Z-stack and Time Loop

All frames of the ND2 file will be used in the AVI movie.

Note

If you have the QuickTime Player installed on your PC, a QuickTime movie (*.mov) can be created as well.
