SUMMARY
When using the Extract command in VidEdit, you can only extract multiple frames when extracting a Microsoft AVI file, DIB sequence, or Microsoft waveform information.



MORE INFORMATION
When using the following formats, you will only be able to extract one frame image at a time:

Microsoft Windows DIB

Microsoft RIFF DIB

PC Paintbrush

Apple Macintosh Pict

Truevision TGA

Microsoft RLE DIB

Microsoft RIFF RLE DIB

You can set a multiple selection with the set selection button, but VidEdit will only save the first frame in your selection using these formats.

To extract multiple frames you will need to extract a DIB sequence or an AVI file. To extract a multiframe DIB sequence or AVI file, do the following:


 * 1) From the File menu, choose Extract.
 * 2) From the List Files Of Type box, select DIB Sequence.
 * 3) Choose Set Selection to select which frames to extract.
 * 4) In the Filename box, type a filename such as XXXX0000.DIB
 * 5) Choose OK.

The last digits will increment for each frame saved. If you only plan on extracting up to 99 frames, you will only need two digits at the end of the filename.
