Easy-PhotoPrint EX

Video Frame Capture/Movie Print Window

You can capture video frames and create still images in these windows.

In the Movie Print window, you can print the captured still images.

Important
  • This function is supported under Windows XP or later. However, it is not supported under the 64-bit editions of Windows XP.

  • This function is not available when ZoomBrowser EX Ver.6.5 or later (supplied with Canon digital cameras supporting MOV format video recording) is not installed.

  • When the color tone of a video is changed via the settings of the graphic driver (video card) or its utility, such a change is not reflected in still images captured from the video. Therefore, color tones may differ between videos and captured still images.

To display the Video Frame Capture window, click (Capture frames from video) in the Select Images screen or Add Image dialog box. To display the Add Image dialog box, select the page you want to add images to in the Edit screen, then click (Add Image).

To display the Movie Print window, select Photo Print in Solution Menu EX and click the Movie Print icon.

Note
  • The Movie Print window displayed via Solution Menu EX is used as an example in the following descriptions. The window displayed varies depending on how Easy-PhotoPrint EX is started.
