//AboutME:
//This script is written in the ImageJ Macro Language
//This script takes movie files (multi-dimensional) and saves out individual files for each timepoint.
//
//The script can manage multi-channel images, preserving the channel information and LUTs
//
//The script prompts the user select a folder containing 1 or more files to be processed.
//
//The choice of file extension allows the user to input any extension such as .tif/.czi/.nd2. If no files of this type are found the script ends
//
//Note: Each file in the parent directory to be processed will save output files into a new sub-directory with the filename + "_Extracted".
