Export as movie

[will-moore]

When we have time-lapse images in a figure, the figure itself could be exported as a movie, with all the included images playing simultaneously.
This would allow users to compose a specific layout for a movie just as they can do for a figure.
Time-stamp labels should probably show delta-T from start of movie.
Time offset of individual movies with respect to one-another will be preserved.
Possible export option would allow to choose start/end of the time-course.
Export options could be presented in a dialog box when user chooses export as movie.

Probably need to support "crop page to panels" first

Current workflow from user:
"My work flow right now is a bit of a drag. I'm generating mostly µManager files that I work with in FIJI. I split these into three separate tiff stacks (red (16-bitt B&W), green (the same), and RGB (RGB)). I then combine the two single channel TIFFs into a single side-by-side movie (which can screw up my LUTs), which I have to then change into an RGB image so I can combine that image with the RGB image. Then I save it as a master TIFF file, export as a .avi, open it in QuickTime, then export it as a .mov with H.264 compression."

Copying my notes from the mouse meeting (very dynamic heavy) here:

• generate PPTs with embedded movies as opposed to PDFs (unless we export something more interactive like a reveal.js website?)
• overlay tracks
• overlay frames-per-second rate
• overlay physical pixel size in each movie (“growth”)

This "looks cool" from #96 (comment)

"if they have a time series and they zoomed in some region, added some ROIs etc, is there anyway to download a movie with the current view and the ROIs"

One option is to use matplotlib instead of mencoder to create movie. E.g. See https://github.com/guiwitz/naparimovie/blob/master/naparimovie/naparimovie.py

Would be great to make movies from graphs (in parade) export as movie images in OMERO, then combine with the microscope movies in a figure (as in previous tweet).

Feature request for Make_Movie to have more options for labels positions: ome/omero-scripts#177
(from https://forum.image.sc/t/features-of-omero-movie/45013).

The make_movie script should be rewritten so we can get rid of mencoder

[manics]

https://pypi.org/project/imageio-ffmpeg/ sounds like a good replacement for mencoder.

[jburel]

That's the one I had in mind
