Thanks for the feedback and even more ideas ! smile

First of all, I think this will only be considered for later integration. I feel the current image/svg tool to be "good enough" for a formal release, so I'd like to wrap up the capture screen and publish a formal version for the general public.

Regarding sending a sequence of pictures, it is something that crossed my mind too. Seeing this image standing there coming from the other video, I'm tempted to click play on it to see what happens next smile

But there is a convergence between this and the blending mode. And it will be confusing to have two completely different tool serving the same purpose.
This will need to be thought over to see what can be done.

Maybe when the "aligned merge" function is in place the blending mode can be removed completely, and the image tool enhanced to allow for "Send video to the other screen", where instead of overlaying the video on top of the other at 50% opacity, we put it in a small - resizable insert. (In that case you'd have to keep both screens open)…

Thanks
Please re try with the IP camera if possible. I have no idea if it's even supposed to work or not…

But it is not possible to set other values, for example 30 fps. I have only two options (640x480@75 and 320x240@125).

Has anybody more values to choose?

I have found the origin of this issue, but it is in external code. It will get fixed eventually, but not in the very next version.
It might impact other cameras too : only one configuration per image size is visible.

After all Andrew from AForge (library used in Kinovea for DirectShow capture and image filters) has reacted super fast to my query and included the change big_smile
So in 0.8.13, the configuration page should now display all the possible options, even if there are several frame rates for a single resolution.

Version expérimentale : elle a besoin de vos retour d'expérience pour s'améliorer !

L'installeur est dispo ici : [s]Kinovea.Setup.0.8.13.exe[/s] - Voir Kinovea.0.8.14

Les principales améliorations ont trait aux Références d'observation.
- L'ensemble de la zone de l'objet peut maintenant être utilisé pour le déplacement. (Auparavant il fallait être exactement sur le dessin).
- Les objets sont chargés à 75% de la hauteur de l'image pour s'assurer de rentrer.
- Nouveau menu "Importer une image…" pour créer une référence à partir d'un fichier image existant. (SVG, PNG, JPG, BMP, etc.)
- En mode double lecteur, il est possible d'« Envoyer l'image vers l'autre vidéo » pour créer une référence à la volée.
- L'opacité générale des images ou dessins peut être modifiée.

Les autres changements incluent une modification des miniature sur l'écran principal, voir capture plus bas.

Correctifs : bugs 233, 234, 236.
changelog.

This is an experimental version : it needs your feedback to improve.

The installer is available here: [s]Kinovea.Setup.0.8.13[/s] - Go to Kinovea.0.8.14

The main improvement comes from the "Observational reference" department.
- The whole area can now be used to move objects around (previously you had to grab them exactly by the lines or drawn areas)
- They are loaded resized to 75% of the image height to ensure they fit in.
- New "Import image…" menu to create a reference from an existing image or svg file.
- When in dual playback, you can "Send image to the other video" to create a reference on the fly.
- The master opacity of the image or drawing can be tuned.

Other changes includes the thumbnails on the main window, see snapshot below.

Fixed bugs : 233, 234, 236.
changelog.

Hello,
What you can do for starters is use the "Play/Pause" button on the camera screen (next to configure), this will freeze the capture buffer.
Then use the delay slider to navigate in the live frames recently captured.

Normalement toutes les webcams qui marchent par ailleurs sous Windows devraient fonctionner…
En quoi consiste le bug exactement ?
Est-ce que ça ressemble au bug décrit plus haut ? (InvalidArgument=la valeur '0' n'est pas valide pour "selectedIndex')

S'il s'agit d'un autre problème, pouvez vous copier les données de l'erreur ?
Merci

The capture screen altogether was only introduced in version 0.8.9 anyway, so it's not that it is not picking up the camera, the function is simply not there.
In the new version, go to menu "View" and select the capture screen.

It was introduced in the experimental versions after 0.8.7 release. Check the sticky threads at the top of this forum.

The way I saw it, in its simplest form, was to have a menu on the right click saying "Send this image to the other screen".

With this, if we use the actual image drawn, one could already have some cropping functionality by means of the zoom function. (You zoom in, then send the zoomed image to the other screen).
Admittedly this will not have the same level of flexibility than a rectangle selection tool, but for a start I think it will avoid some interface headaches.

This alternate driver was mentioned in the other thread. Maybe it's more capable ?

edit: forget it, it's the same one apparently.

It is a bug, thanks for reporting.

I just created bug 236 to keep track of it.
If needed, you can use the uninstaller manually from the program directory.

If you can please try with the experimental version here and report if it's better or not. As noted in the bug report I have tried to mitigate the issue according to most common cause for this error message.
However I cannot reproduce the issue myself (tried with 100+ stopwatches) and so far there's no feedback about whether the changes are helping or not.
Thanks
