Getting video + Rigid Body... is it possible?

Post by alex_karate_do »

Hi, I need your help!!!
I'm working on data collected using Rigid Body ".csv" file. I wrote a program in MatLab that calculates speed, acceleration, kinetic energy and so on. Now I'd like to join a graph plotted by MatLab with a movie from one of the several flexV100 cameras. My idea is to obtain a sort of movie, where i can move the cursor and see the video frames and the graph synchronized. So I ask to you: how can I get an .avi file from a camera while I'm capturing data using Rigid Body Tool? I think that i should write a c++ program using optitrack API to get video (using INPAvi interface), but is it possible to run RB and my c++ program at the same time?
Thanks,
Alex

Hey Alex,

I'm sorry to say that you're not going to be able to do this with the current software. You'll need to come up with some other mechanism to record your video.

The good news is that the next major release of the Tracking Tools will likely support multiple arrangements of video recording as well as point cloud simultaneously.
