APAS/Wizard Strobe
Introduction
APAS/Wizard
Strobe � lets you turn any digital video into a still strobe image. If kinematic
data is available it can be overlayed on top of the strobe.
Although commonly-used to describe an electronic flash unit, especially one used
in a studio, a strobe (short for "stroboscope" or "stroboscopic lamp") actually
refers to an intermittently-flashing, extremely-short duration, bright light
source.
APAS/Wizard Strobe � simulates this in software by creating a still image from
multiple images or from video.
