Sharing Pictures

•Transfer from Pictmotion Cameras (Windows Only)

Pictmotion movies created with the camera can be transferred to Windows computers for viewing in PictureProject. During transfer, Pictmotion movies are converted into Windows Media (“.wmv”) or MPEG1 (“.mpg”) videos for computer playback. To transfer Pictmotion movies:

1. Connect the camera and turn it on. PictureProject Transfer will start.

2. Click Transfer. If the memory card holds Pictmotion movies, the options shown below will be displayed.

Format: Choose Windows Media Video or MPEG1.
Video: If MPEG1 is selected for Format, choose NTSC or PAL.
Quality: Choose image quality.
Frame Size: If Windows Media Video is selected for Format, choose a frame size for the video.
Don’t show this dialog again: Hide the Pictmotion conversion dialog during subsequent transfers. While this option is selected, Pictmotion movies will be transferred at the settings selected in the “Pictmotion” tab of the “Transfer Options” dialog. To display the conversion dialog again, select Prompt options before transfer in the “Pictmotion” tab.

3. Click OK. PictureProject will create a Pictmotion video and display it in the picture list, where it can be played back as described in Movies.

Selecting Pictmotion Files for Transfer
To select Pictmotion movies for transfer, display thumbnails in the PictureProject Transfer dialog (note that the component pictures of individually selected movies will not be transferred). Pictmotion files are identified by a icon. To make Pictmotion files easier to find, group pictures by folder or extension.

Pictures in Pictmotion Movies
If any of the pictures in a Pictmotion movie are deleted from the memory card before the movie is transferred, PictureProject will not create properly a Pictmotion video for computer playback.

Transfer Time
Some time is required to convert slide shows to video format.

PictureProject DVD Show
If PictureProject DVD Show is installed, the Format menu will include MPEG2. PictureProject DVD Show can not be used to create DVD videos or video CDs using Pictmotion movies transferred from the camera.
