Saving a series of images (from a smart camera) into an AVI file

Hello,
I have a lab setup in which we view brain cell deflections in a well-plate after being pressurized with air for 50ms. I have a smart camera hooked up to an IMAQ PCI card to acquire images.
I'm trying to save the series of images into an avi file, so that I can view the deflections in a slow video.
The way I have it set up at the moment takes an image and saves it in an avi pre-existing (some random .avi that I didn't need) format. But here are some problems:
1. I would like for the VI to create a NEW .avi, rather than saving it into a pre-existing one.
2. Right now, each image simply overwrites the previous one in the avi file. So the resulting avi is a 00:00 length movie with a single image (the last frame that camera viewed).
I have what I have programmed attached. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

Here is an updated version (attached). I kept trying to incorporate the examples you showed me, and I have made a little bit of a progress.
It now saves a new avi file, and it's not a single image movie anymore. It's got as many images as I run the VI for. BUT, it only saves the very first image the camera takes and just loops it over and over again until I press stop. So the resulting avi shows a still image of the very first view of the camera for however long I ran the VI for.
Any suggestions on how I can fix this?
Thank you,
B.J.

  • Strange. After importing a series of images from a Sony camcorder, I see the images but there's no sound, although there is sound on the camera.

  • Can't copy an image from a smart album to normal album

    I created a few smart albums that just show images from October, November, etc. Now I'm trying to pull a few images from each of those albums into a regular (not-smart) album (it will be of highlighted images, one from each month).
    When I drag the image across, the plus sign is there, and it looks like it works, but when I click on the regular album, it's empty.
    The only way I can find to extract an image from a smart album to a regular album is to choose the image and select "new album from selection", but that won't work as I intend to pull many images into a single regular album.

    Nah, tried that. I have the new album set to "Show All" and no other filters.
    I would appreciate it if someone else tried this and could say if they can reproduce it.
    Source album:
    Date: Capture Month: April
    Date: Capture Year: 2008
    Include Stack Picks only
    include if: ALL match
    Target album:
    New, empty album, no filters.

    Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
    It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
    I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1  Lightroom is version 5.7  Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
    FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky. I tried dumping PS preferences

  • How can i get the images from a picture ring into a cell in Excel?

    Hi
    I need to get the chosen image from a picture ring into a cell in a Excel worksheet. If i use an invoke node i only get to write a picture from file. How can i get the picture directly from the picture ring into Excel?
    Kenneth

    No, there is no simple way of doing it directly. You need some clipboard manipulation which means you need to write some codes in excel as well. Importing the image through a file is much easier.

  • I dragged a cut out image from one photoshop document into another and now it is blurry. What to do?

    I dragged a cut out image from one photoshop document into another and now it is blurry. What can I do to prevent this?

    What is the resolution of the image that you "dragged"? The resolution is the number in pixels per inch (ppi). If you dragged a significantly lower resolution file into a higher resolution file, it could result in a blurry image.
    see below:
    For further reading of Key Concepts:
    http://www.adobe.com/designcenter-archive/keyconcepts/articles/concept_resolution.html
    You can determine the image size by choosing Image > Image Size
    below you can see the pixel dimensions of my example image.

  • Help, bridge will not convert the images from my Canon 7D into raw

    Has anyone else had problems converting images from a Canon 7D into Raw format?  Bridge downloads them and then tells me it could not convert them.  Hopefully someone out there has a fix.  Aah the joys of new equipment and software.
    EW

    Bridge should be converting image FROM raw format, not TO raw format.
    If you have Photoshop CS4 you should update to the latest Camera RAW plugin:
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
    If you have an earlier version of Photoshop (CS, CS2, CS3) then you can download the latest free DNG Converter and convert the 7D RAWs to DNGs and then an older version of Camera RAW can open them.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Windows
    CS5 will be announced in a few weeks/months, and when it is available there will only be an upgrade path from CS2, CS3 and CS4, so if you have PS CS then you need to upgrade to CS4, now, before CS4 is available, otherwise to upgrade to CS5 you will need to pay full price.
    If you have a PS version newer than CS then you can wait and upgrade to CS5 when it is out.
    With either CS4 (and the newest Camera RAW update) and CS5, you won't have to convert 7D RAWs to DNGs to work on them.

  • Grab images from a IP camera

    ---BACKGROUND---
    We have very little experience with programming for the LabView, but good experience with programming in general.
    ---SETUP---
    In one end we have the newest LabView (8?) that is connected to several OPC driven PLSes.
    In the other end we have a piece of custom hardware that grabs images from several analog cameras (surveillance machine)
    We need to send the image from the surveillance machine to the labview
    software as easily as possible. We have access to the sourcecode for
    the surveillance machine to writing a custom protocol to send images is
    no problem, the problem is the labview end.
    My question is if there is a way to make labview connect to a machine
    and download images from it, the exact protocol is no problem since we
    can customize the hardware completly, a llI need is a connection where
    images come streaming to it.
    If not then maybe there is a way to program the labview to do the following;
       Connect to a machine on the internet
    Send commands to the connected machine
    Receives images in a loop until connection is broken
    Hope anyone got any clues as to what I am trying to accomplish here.
    Thanks in advance

    nyc thanks for your time,
    Here is my code, along with the C# example code from the vendor. 
    FYI the sample code from the vendor did not work on the customers machine either, just showed a black screen. I installed VS2010 Express C#.NET on the machine to test if I could grab images from the vendors example and no joy....didnt work.

  • I have an older imac with os10.4.11. Will it transfer images from newer digital camera using my iphoto when on the camera box it specifies a mac os of 10.5 or above?mo

    I have an older imac with OSX 10.4.11. Will it transfer images  from newer digital cameras on to my computer via my iphoto program when the camera box states that the required mac OS is 10.5 or above or is that only if you wish to load the camera manufacturers own image processing program?

    Which camera are you speaking about?
    Why are you on such an old version on OS X?
    With the information provided, I am inclined to say, no.
