The Huygens Movie Maker: Interactive & Fast tool to create sophisticated animations

The Movie Maker is a tool that allows the user to easily create sophisticated animations of multi-channel 3D images using the powerful Huygens visualization tools.

Main functionalities include:

Create sophisticated high quality movies
Combine multiple renderers in a single movie
Includes introductory course
Interactive manipulation of the scenes
Works both on CPU and GPU: highly parallelized performance
Export to AVI files or to TIFF series
Save projects for later editing or for usage with other 3D datasets

User friendly interface: Easy to use and intuitive

The figure shows the Movie Maker's easy to use interface, which allows users to quickly view, edit and create movies. The interface consists of three main areas, each with a specific function:

The Storyboard: Shows the keyframes and transitions between them.
The Preview area: Mini movie player that quickly creates a low-resolution preview.
The Timeline: Interactive plot showing render parameters and allowing easy adjustment of the parameters.
