Note (Pro and Pro Plus only): The
minimum size for a Movie Box is 101
pixels by 81 pixels.
Movie Controls: There are three Movie
controls: the Pause button, the Stop button,
and the Record button. The Movie window
will automatically be in Record mode
when it opens.
The Pause button pauses the recording
of the movie. This enables you to adjust
your view “offscreen” between frames.
The Stop button completes the
recording process, and closes the
QuickTime window.
The Record button resumes the
recording of a movie after it has been
paused.
The number of frames in your movie and
the total running time are shown in the
bottom right corner. A new frame is added
to the movie every time the screen is
redrawn. Most changes you make in Starry
Night cause the screen to be redrawn.
Switching daylight on or off, changing the
labels, and zooming in or out are just a few
changes which will cause a new frame to
be recorded.
Tip: Use the Pause button in the movie
controls to make changes to your view
“offscreen” without adding frames to your
movie.
The screen is also redrawn whenever the
time in Starry Night changes, causing new
frames to be added to your movie.
Therefore, if you have time running
forward continuously before you begin
making a movie, new frames will be added
continuously every time the time changes.
For this reason, it is often best to stop time
flow before you make a movie. Once your
view is set up properly, you can turn the
flow of time back on.
When you are finished recording your
movie, hit the Stop button along the
bottom of the movie window.
