Movie FilesΒΆ
Is it possible to create a short movie file of a SIMION simulation for display in PowerPoint or elsewhere?
For movies, you’ll likely need other software:
- DebugMode Wink is a free program that works well. It can generate Flash screencasts as shown on SIMION Screencasts. Other options are in codinghorror.com: Screencasting for Windows. Techsmith products like Snaggit [*a] and Camtasia also work well.
- Use a digital camera to capture a movie of your computer screen (reported to work acceptably albeit ad hoc) [*b] or use a video capture card to record coming out of your video card.
- For still pictures, use CTRL+PrintScreen to copy the graphics to the Windows clipboard. SIMION can also export directly for a Windows Metafile or to a printer if you need high resolution.
- There is a new simion.print_screen() function in SIMION 8.1 early access that may be useful here (Issue-I521).
