Creating a Film Strip

The Film Strip is a summary of the swing video broken down into the different parts between the key-positions.

A Film Strip can be created from one movie or from two movies. If two movies are used every other row is from the other movie.

Normally the frames from the chosen part of the swing is showed on a row, i.e. if four parts are chosen and four frames are to be used for every part, a matrix of 4 columns (4 frames per part) and 4 rows (4 parts) are created.

A special case is when 1 frame per part is chosen, then all the parts are showed on one row.

When creating Film Strips, the crop can be used if so chosen, the drawn object can be included or not, the tempo information and the player information can also be included.
