Play AVI Application

The Play AVI Application (PAVIA)

The Play AVI Application is used to open and play AVI, or audio video interleave (*.avi) files.

When the film loop has been fully generated in XMS, it will launch in a new Play AVI Application (PAVIA) window. This application contains the following controls:

• Play – Starts the playback animation. During the animation, the speed and play mode can be changed.
• Speed slider bar – Increases or decreases the playback speed. The speed depends on the computer being used.

• Frame slider bar – Used to jump to a specific frame of an animation.

• Stop – Stops the playback animation.
• Next Frame – Allows manually stepping to the next frame. It only works when the animation is stopped.
• Play then Rewind – A play mode that will restart the animation when the end of the film loop has been reached.
• Back/forth – A play mode that will show the film loop in reverse order when the end of the film loop has been reached.
• Copy Current Frame – Makes a screen capture of the current frame in the AVI player. The frame can then be copied to an image editor or word processor application.
• Open – Brings up a browser to open another AVI file.

A film loop generated in XMS will be saved in the AVI file format. AVI files can be used in software presentation packages, such as Microsoft PowerPoint or WordPerfect Presentations. A saved film loop may be opened from inside XMS or directly from inside the PAVIA application. Pavia.exe is located in the XMS installation directory and can be freely distributed.
