Slick scroll clips
I want to point out this awesome new feature on our website. This week’s captioned releases were accompanied by a really cool movie.
It scrolls over some areas of the images in high resolution. It’s a nice way to cruise around the observations, and I love how it shows off the color. This might be an easier way to quickly browse the images for people who don’t use the IAS Viewer.
The movie might be a little hard to find; if you click on the “Updated: 19 March 2008″ link in the upper right of our main page, it will take you to this page, which shows this week’s releases. There, in the lower right corner, there are links to the scroll clip. It’s available in Quicktime, an “AppleTV” format (which plays for me in iTunes), and a smaller one for your iPhone. There’s even a groovy soundtrack! Thanks to our masterful webmaster who put this together. Let us know how you like it!

Hi
In reference to the above video as a Spring 2008 HiRISE Image Challenger I like to ask that how can I save and run clip on my PC in home so as to increase and update my knowledge on HiRISE. Is there a need of special privilegde to get and save clip. I am unable to run or save the clip on my pc by clicking on the movie icon

I was able to alt-click to download on my Mac, and right-click > save target as, on a PC. Hope that helps!

On Friday our system adminstrators updated the server so you no longer have to “Save As”, just follow the link.
But you will need Quicktime installed. I think we’ll have Windows Media or at least Flash Video (YouTube) eventually. Hope that helps.
