Yes you need to do a calibration, check this page: https://www.kinovea.org/help/en/measure … ation.html

Sorry to disappoint but Kinovea only takes camera feeds as of now.

The message you replied to was made by a bot and doesn't know anything. If you select the text below the last line they wrote you can see they added a hidden link to a random website in transparent font. I remove these types of messages very often but they are getting more and more sophisticated, using AI to generate plausible answers! (I edited their message to change the target URL so they don't get clicks).

Hi, yes I did implement the concept of keyframe presets (name + color, bound to a shortcut) in the last version. Check the sticky topic in the general forum with the release post for 2023.1.

I made a little video here, especially the second part at around 2min mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJmcvMwtz70

I'm not sure I fully understood your setup but one thing that might help is to track the coordinate system. If you show the coordinate system then right click the axes or origin and track. Now the other points should have their coordinates relatively to the moving coordinate system.

I think the simplest in this case would be to make a small .bat file containing the two commands for starting each instance. Then you can start everything by clicking this.

Hi,
At the moment you'd have to export them one by one manually, moving the working zone for each. Move to the area of interest, restrict the working zone bounds for example using the [ and ] buttons on the bottom left under the playback screen. And then use the Save video menu (it will automatically only save the current working zone).

I have thought of something else using the new stopwatch tool, I'd like to know what people think about this. The new stopwatch let you record the duration of disconnected sections and assign them a name. We could pass this list of named sections to the exporter and export all the sections at once in batch, using the section name as the video file name. Would that be workable?

I haven't published the video tutorial about the new stopwatch yet but essentially you would go through your entire video and use F5 shortcut to start/end time sections. You'll see them in the timeline.

If it's a bit too weird to use the stopwatch for this there could be a dedicated tool. In that case maybe it could also define a rectangle for each section to define the crop area to export for that section.

Sorry I can't test this right now and won't be able to until I'm back home in November. Right now it's not possible to do it via the interface by importing a text file like for the IDS module but it should be possible to implement that for a future version.

If you want to play with it manually, the parameters are stored in the preferences XML. There is a part that is generic for all camera types and a part that is specific to the camera vendor.

Look for this node: KinoveaPreferences/Capture/Cameras/Camera/Specific/Daheng/CameraProperties/ Then this should contain a list of CameraProperty with sub nodes Key and Value. I'm curious to see if it will work if you put your property here. It's supposed to load it but I've never tried it.

Can you try version 2023.1 and report if it's still the same? You'll find the link in the sticky topic in forum "General".

Yes it should be possible and useful. Probably to be grouped with the "go to key image" menu. Somewhat related to this I recently fixed a bug where copy-pasting objects to a different time wasn't working. Now it will create a new key image and paste the drawing into it. "move to current time" would be equivalent to cut and paste.

Another thing I looked into a while back is the stacking of objects. It would be nice to be able to say "send to the back" / "move to the front", etc. when drawings are overlapping. This is easy with just one image but on video with objects belonging to different frames it's not as trivial.

(By the way I'm currently super busy at work, I won't be making progress on any of this for a bit. But this feedback is very appreciated.).

Thanks for the follow up and the details. This might help someone else down the line! I wasn't aware of this feature in Windows I'll have to look into it at some point to see why it's not working.

FYI you should be able to rotate the camera directly inside Kinovea using the image menu.

Something that might happen is that a Windows update somehow changes the driver to a newer version from Microsoft and breaks some features. I have had that happen with other cameras. Check in the device manager if the button to restore the previous driver version is enabled.

Thanks for looking into that! I also noticed it at some point but hadn't had time to investigate.

Could it be hardware related in some way?

It sounds more like a software bug. I'll look into it.
