using System; using System.Diagnostics; using BytescoutImageToVideoLib; namespace BackgroundPicture { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { Console.Write("Converting JPG slides into video, please wait.."); // Create BytescoutImageToVideoLib.ImageToVideo object instance ImageToVideo converter = new ImageToVideo(); // Activate the component converter.RegistrationName = "demo"; converter.RegistrationKey = "demo"; // Set movie background picture converter.SetBackgroundPictureFileName("..\\..\\..\\..\\background.jpg"); // Add images and set slide durations Slide slide; slide = (Slide) converter.AddImageFromFileName("..\\..\\..\\..\\slide1.jpg"); slide.Duration = 3000; // 3000ms = 3s slide = (Slide) converter.AddImageFromFileName("..\\..\\..\\..\\slide2.jpg"); slide.Duration = 3000; slide = (Slide) converter.AddImageFromFileName("..\\..\\..\\..\\slide3.jpg"); slide.Duration = 3000; // Set output video size converter.OutputWidth = 500; converter.OutputHeight = 400; // Set output video file name converter.OutputVideoFileName = "result.wmv"; // Run the conversion converter.RunAndWait(); Console.WriteLine("Conversion is done.
