Display Video
Display Video tool searches and displays a video sequence from a given geographical location. You can identify the geographical position with a data click. The application projects the given xyz location to the closest trajectory which has a video file linked to it and displays the corresponding sequence.
Before you can use this tool, you must link a digital video file to a trajectory using the Edit information command in the Trajectories window.
To display a video sequence:
