To use this feature, you will need to prepare a workflow with the Burst Video feature and Draw on Burst Video. Make sure to also add Live View Start\Stop feature states while the Burst Video is being recorded.
Here's a workflow for example:
1. In the Features tab, set your Burst Video feature settings. This feature will use the camera’s frame capture and will create a video from it.
Recording Time: Set the recording time in milliseconds.
Frames Per Second: Choose the frame rate of the video recording.
Output WxH: Set the size of the video file (The max. size for DSLR is 960 x 640). The default size is 720X480 (Note: It is not recommended to save a larger file when planning to share the file via MMS, as some carriers may limit the received files).
Recording Animation: You can run an animation while recording a video. You can use a recording animation from the Video_Animations folder (located in C:\MirrorMeBooth\Video_Animations) or add a .png file with your logo.
Number Of Loops in Video: Set the number of times you would like the video to loop in the saved file.
Show Live View: Enable a live-view presentation of your video recording.
Add Boomerang Effect: Check this box to add a Boomerang effect by adding the same frames - in reverse - to the .MP4 file. This Effect will double the length of your video file.
Trigger Next State on Saved Video: Enable this option to wait for the video file to save to the folder before continuing on to the next state.
Enable Record Audio: Check this box to add a sound recording to the video.
Merge Audio and Video: Syncs audio and video tracks into one file (This file is saved under event’s folder → final videos).
Enable Soundtrack: Add a media file of the soundtrack you want to add to your video recording.
