DYNAMIC SIMULATIONS
As we advance in technical capability, tools for teaching include media implementation.
An example:
In the frame of this project the main focus is set on a qualitative
description of the incoming waves into the calculation room used within
a numerical tool solving Maxwell’s equations to obtain SAR
distributions in a phantom.1

heterogeneous exposure conditions.”, Proc. ‘EuCAP 2006’, Nice, France, November 2006.

(The LPPD camcorder
uses a touchscreen
LCD)
3.
Go into movie settings.
4.
Change movie settings.
5.
Go into rec mode.
6.
Select record mode (LP mode is
recommended for less file size)

STEP 3 (SAVING VIDEO TO COMPUTER)
1.
With camera connected to
computer via hub, windows
should automatically detect the
hardware.
2.
Open folder to view files.
3.
Click on MP ROOT.
4.
Click on 101PNV01.
5.
Select and copy video files to
your designated hard drive
location.

STEP 4 (CONVERTING .MPG TO .WMV)

1.
The video editing software we will use requires
windows media audio/video format.
Open MediaCoder 0.6.4. The program
can be installed from the provided cd.
http://www.mediacoderhq.com/
1.
2.
3.
4.
Add file by clicking on add tab.
Then, in the bottom portion of the
screen you can adjust your output
audio and video settings by clicking on
the audio and video tabs.
For audio output, use Windows Media
Audio/
For video output, select Windows
Media. In the container tab, you can specify
.avi, .mpg, or another format. (select default)
5.
6.
Also note the location of the file to be
converted. This can be specified in
the top right portion of the window.
(Click on the open tab)
Click the start tab to begin the
process of converting.

STEP 5 (LOADING FILES INTO EDITING SOFTWARE)

The default program we will use
is windows movie maker which
comes pre-installed on windows
xp computers.
1.
Open Windows Movie Maker
(usually under accessories –
entertainment)
2.
Click on import video and select
file.
3.
Disable the split large video into
smaller clips.
4.
You should see your video clip in
the my collections pane.
5.
To load a picture, follow a
similar procedure as adding a
video clip. (Click on import
picture in the tasks pane, and
select the picture. You should
see the picture in the my
collections pane)

STEP 6 (EDITING AND SAVING YOUR MOVIE PROJECT)

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
In the bottom portion of your screen
you will see a timeline of your movie.
To add a file to your timeline select it
from my collections and drag it into
the timeline.
To trim a video clip, place your
cursor over one end of the clip. You
will see an option to trim the clip.
To add a Title, or subtitles, you may
click on the edit movie options in the
movie tasks window. Follow the
instructions and click done to return
to the storyboard. You should see
your Title clip in the bottom portion
of the screen.
To smooth the transition of files in
your movie project, click and drag the
file in the timeline and slowly merge
the two files together.
When done click finish movie and
specify location.
