This is a component that lets you create thumbnails of movies in a range of formats.

You might wonder why do you need a component for just creating a thumbnail of a video movie, should not be much work! May be not for one particular format but even there the image processing capability required to create a resized image is quite a bit. This component can handle a whole range of formats and that can be significant amount of work. If you are trying to build whole lot of other functionality where the thumbnail building is a small part, you would be happy if this chore could be taken care of. The component can take the hassle out of building thumbnails for formats like AVI, WMV, MPG, ASF, PDF, TIF, BMP, GIF, ICO, JPEG, J2K, JP2, JPC, J2C, PCX, PNG, PSD,, WMF, WBMP, TGA, PGX, RAS and PNM. The end user would be able to define the size of the video clip as well as over scroll controls like of all the thumbnail collections. the component handles a range of image formats like CR2, NEF, CRW, MRW, RAF, ERF, 3FR, DCR, RAW,DNG, PEF, X3F, ARW, SR2, MEF, ORF too.

When resizing the images, the end user can specify that aspect ratio be maintained. He/she is able to define image clip, things like background, clip, highlight, shadow, text color and font. Display area could be defined too. You are allowed to redistribute the component without any restriction, like many other products from the same publisher. It works with programming languages that can accommodate the ActiveX component technology. Code sample for integration are supplied in a few programming languages.
