Thank you for the reply.

to be frank, the tutorials are very basic and a lot of advanced procedures are missing and I couldn't locate them from the wiki website. for example I would have appreciate to see an explanation on how to create dynamic attributes and layouts!

I'll appreciate if you could redirect me to other available tutorials if possible.

Hi, the tutorials at https://seinecle.github.io/gephi-tutorials may help. For video export, you will need to use some screen recorder tool of your choice.

hello

I am a new gephi user and I'm trying to model a dynamic communication network as part of my PhD. I have two networks representing communication between participants at two point of time, and as the project progressed. I'm interested in the dynamic representation (particularly would like to see how the clusters changed from stage 1 to stage 2) as well as the video export.

I would appreciate any tips/help.

Thanks in advance,
H

You should focus on the Timeline module for animation controlling, and Preview module for graphics capturing. Notice that the start-stop button may not be related to the start/stop button of the timeline, in case when users don't have dynamic networks but want to record layout animations.

When we investigated the tech issues, we found that we better use a Java binding to ffmpeg for video encoding, and provide encoding options in Gephi user interface.

Ok.

Can you give me a good start point. What part of the code should I focus on? Is there any existing plugin that has not been integrated yet?

The feature is not specified nor implemented, so feel free to fix it

Hello,

I was wondering how this project evolved?
Is there a way to avoid using screencast?

I am not afraid of getting my hands dirty with some codes

Francesco

Hi guys,
I'm very interested in these animations too.
I had thought about the static screenshots option but I fear this will quickly become unmaintainable.

Does anybody have a sample script of this interaction with the Gephi toolkit to get me started?
I'd really really appreciate this.

Richie

Julian did you look at http://jffmpeg.sourceforge.net/? It looks like they did a good job at rewriting some video encoding codec in pure Java (no native library needed). That is exactly what we need.

I would be interested by these screencast scripts! I'm often asked for this feature by users during presentations.

Animation video of dynamic data

2011-12-13T17:37:16+01:00

Hi there,

I am a new Gephi user and am trying to find my way around doing the visualisations I want to do.
I have a dynamic data set on the growth of a scientific co-authorship community from 1979 to 2010 and have managed to import my data into Gephi as dynamic data (the data is grouped into 10 different periods at the moment, so is not as dynamic as it could be, I know...)

Now, is it possible to directly record a video or an animation of how the network grows over time, for instance as shown here: https://gephi.org/2011/the-egyptian-rev ... n-twitter/
Or do I necessarily have to export screenshots? But using the timeline as a filter all I seem to get is a static view rather than how nodes and ties are dynamically added?

Any pointers gladly taken. I'm no programmer, so techie-heavy solutions might be tricky for me...
Thanks!
