Printing Movie Clip

[Gjest]

A question ! , Is it possible to print a movie clip out of a Digital
camera onto a really long piece of paper ? , Say cardstock about 8 " wide
and 10 feet long made by taping standard 11 " sections together , I guess
the question is : Is there a software that will do this ? , Phil

I believe several programs will convert video frames to seperate images.
It's then trivial to print them all one after the other.

How long is the clip in seconds? What is the frame rate? Multiply the two
and you get the number of frames you would have to print. Do the numbers....
Lets say a 10 second clip at 25 frames/sec = 250 frames. If each frame is 8"
high then the paper would need to be 2000" or about 166 feet long. You can
get roll paper so no need to join 11" sheets.... or you could print every
other frame to reduce the length.

Hello Colin an list , I can not answer YOUR questions !!, I have not
taken the clip yet, If I can not do what I want to do I will not take the
clip !!!, That said I say , What I want is a Background for my new train
set display in my Genealogical Room Office . ( see I got that in the
message !! ) , my plan is / was to film a Man Built rock wall that is 20 ft
high and 100 feet long , Print it and staple it to my wall , I will be
running one of my trains around the room about 4 ft above the floor , OR
above the door ,
What I don`t want is seams in the picture !! , Phil

Ok there is a much better way to do this. Take lots of STILL photos and join
them together into a panorama using a program like Irfanview or Panorama
Factory etc. These programs correct the overlap and blend one image into the
other - no seams. You can even make a 360 panorama. You get the best results
by using a tripod to keep the camera at the same height. Arrange for each
photo to overlap by about 10-15%.

You don't want to use a video clip then...

Many digital cameras come with software for doing what you want. My
Canon G2 (an antique, at only 3x zoom range and 4Mpixel -- I think they
are up to a G6 running near 8Mpixel and 4x zoom) had a mode for doing
these. When you set the mode, the first frame taken locks the exposure
for all; then it displays a shifted version of the image on the LCD
while you rotate (use a leveled tripod) the camera to line up the live
image with the shifted, then take the next shot... repeat as needed.

After downloading to computer, the software will join the separate
frames, may do minor perspective adjustments, and produce a single
image.

Your next problem may be printer drivers and memory... Many printer
drivers for Windows had a limit of something like 42" for length of a
single "page".

Most camera's video clips are much lower resolution (quarter to half
VGA, NTSC for a true video camera). The also run between 15 and 30
frames per second... You'd be looking at a few hundred frames, with a
lot of overlap, assuming you can do frame extraction (I've not had any
good results using full DV-AVI and movie editing software.)
