![]() ![]() ![]() These did not include a command to extract images from an IrfanView slideshow. A search led to Rob van der Woude’s list of IrfanView command line options. Second time around, instead of trying to screen-capture the IrfanView slideshow, I realized there might be a better way. I didn’t have enough experience to know for sure I almost always used Debut to capture just a window onscreen. ![]() ![]() Or possibly that wasn’t Debut’s fault possibly my computer was just not supplying the resources needed for full-screen capture at that time. Some lingered onscreen for a second or so others flashed by almost instantly. I had enjoyed almost invariably good screen capture results with Debut, but in this case I think Debut may have somehow been responsible for the fact that the slides were no longer displaying at a regular pace. (If I had wanted to extract individual images from the video, it appeared that I could have used PE’s Publish+Share > Image option, and then use DoubleKiller, VisiPics, Awesome, and other tools discussed in another post to delete duplicate slides.) For the latter, I used Adobe Premiere Elements (PE). In my first try, I did that conversion the hard way: I used Debut to capture the full screen while running that slideshow, and then edited the resulting MP4 files in a video editor. It seemed that the solution I was looking for was to convert the EXE file to a regular video file. At this time, I returned to this project, with an intention of producing something better than that IrfanView slideshow: a smaller package, with at least as good a visual presentation, and with improved ability to back up, skip around, and point to specific pictures within the larger presentation.Īt this point, I no longer had the original photos, only the IrfanView slideshow. That was several years before I began writing this post. So those were the steps I took in the first phase. And the EXE file had a size penalty for all that image quality: about 1GB for about 20 minutes of play. I also couldn’t display the resulting EXE file on YouTube. I couldn’t back up or skip ahead to a different point in the show (although later, in the material listed near the bottom of the F1 (Help) > Overview > Hotkeys feature of IrfanView, I would discover there were more slideshow navigation possibilities than I had realized). (That other post arrived at PDF as a superior alternative in that case, albeit demanding much more disk space and more time to prepare.) The problem with an IrfanView slideshow was that I could only play or pause it. This could have been useful in a project like the one described in a related post, where I might want to be able to find and extract specific files. With just those very few, fairly easy steps, I was able to view the photos at the desired rate, in great quality, with the specified text displaying in the upper left corner of each photo. When this was all set up, I clicked “Save slideshow as EXE/SCR” > choose EXE. In the bottom left corner of the options dialog, I chose Play in Windows Mode (rather than Full Screen) and specified dimensions of 1920 x 1280. I could select the files I wanted to include and then click Add, or I could just click Add All to include everything in that folder. On the right side of the Slideshow options screen, I navigated to the folder containing the desired image files. Below that, I chose Show Text and used, I think, the $D $F $X options. I chose “Automatic after 0.5 seconds,” indicating that I wanted to see the photos at a rate of two per second. In IrfanView, as partly explained in more detail by PD Pro, I went to File > Slideshow and filled out the various options. In the first phase, I chose IrfanView for that purpose. The obvious solution was to put them into a slideshow. I wanted to see those photos, but did not want to press a key or click a mouse button 2,500 times to do so. My cousins took 2,500 photos during an extended cross-country train trip. ![]()
