Difference in the effect of a paste operation

Variable duration mode: The copied keyframe is inserted at the specified position.

Constant duration mode: The copied keyframe is written over the specified position.

Transition mode

You can use an effect created with keyframes as a DME wipe pattern on the switcher. In this case, it is necessary to set the transition mode (the way in which the effect behaves).

For details of the setting, see “User Programmable DME Transition Mode” (page 342).

Time Settings

Keyframe duration and effect duration

You can determine the execution time of an effect by setting either the keyframe durations or the effect duration.

Keyframe duration: This is the time from the keyframe to the next keyframe. You can set this time in the keyframe control block. (See “Time Settings” in Chapter 13 (Volume 2).)

In constant duration mode (see page 129), it is not possible to change the keyframe duration setting.

Effect duration: This is the total execution time of the effect, from the first keyframe to the last. You can set this time in the keyframe control block. (See “Time Settings” in Chapter 13 (Volume 2).)

When you change the effect duration, the keyframe duration for each keyframe in the effect is automatically recalculated proportionally.

The effect duration may also be changed by inserting or deleting keyframes.
