How to apply slide effects during images to video conversion using Image To Video SDK

Bytescout Image To Video SDK can apply various visual effects to slides when converting images to video slideshow.

The VB.NET and C# sample codes below demonstrate how to use slide effects or rotate slides when you convert JPG, PNG, BMP images to video slideshow in AVI or WMV format with Image To Video SDK.

Visual Basic .NET

Imports BytescoutImageToVideoLib



Module Module1



    Sub Main()



        Console.WriteLine("Converting JPG slides into video, please wait..")



        ' Create BytescoutImageToVideoLib.ImageToVideo object instance

        Dim converter As ImageToVideo = New ImageToVideo()



        ' Activate the component

        converter.RegistrationName = "demo"

        converter.RegistrationKey = "demo"



' set default in effect for slides (you can also set effects for each single slide)

converter.Slides.DefaultSlideInEffect = 1 ' teFadeIn (1) - fades in effect for slides transition

converter.Slides.DefaultSlideInEffectDuration = 500 ' 500 msec for in effect



        ' Add images and set slide durations and effects

        Dim slide As Slide

        slide = CType(converter.AddImageFromFileName("........slide1.jpg"), Slide)

        slide.Duration = 3000 ' 3000ms = 3s

        slide.VisualEffect = VisualEffectType.veGrayscale ' make the slide grayscale

        slide = CType(converter.AddImageFromFileName("........slide2.jpg"), Slide)

        slide.Duration = 3000

        slide.VisualEffect = VisualEffectType.veSepia ' make the slide sepia

        slide = CType(converter.AddImageFromFileName("........slide3.jpg"), Slide)

        slide.Duration = 3000

        slide.RotationAngle = RotationAngle.raRotate90 ' rotate the slide 90 degrees.



        ' Set output video size

        converter.OutputWidth = 400

        converter.OutputHeight = 300



        ' Set output video file name

        converter.OutputVideoFileName = "result.wmv"



        ' Run the conversion

        converter.RunAndWait()



        Console.WriteLine("Conversion is done. Press any key to continue...")

        Console.ReadKey





        ' Open the result video file in default media player

        Process.Start("result.wmv")



    End Sub
