This provides a smooth effect, based on the time and path settings.

v

Saving effects (see page 44)

Save a completed effect in a register.

Recalling a Register

Use the numeric keypad control block to recall a register. For each region there
are 99 registers dedicated to keyframes, numbered from 1 to 99.

Creating and Editing Keyframes

For details of keyframe editing, see “Effect Editing” in Chapter 1 (Volume 1).

Creation

Creating new ke y fr ame s

To create new keyframes, after recalling an empty register, use the following
procedure to create and insert each new keyframe. Use the keyframe control
block for carrying out the operation.

1

Press the [EDIT ENBL] button, turning it on.
This enables effect editing in the keyframe control block.

2

Create the image you want to be the first keyframe.

3

Press the [INS] button.
This takes the current image as the first keyframe.

4

Create the image you want to be the next keyframe.

5

Press the [INS] button.
This inserts the current image as the second keyframe after the first

keyframe.

Repeat steps 4 and 5 to create the required number of keyframes.

To insert a new keyframe before an existing keyframe

Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [INS] button, to insert a new
keyframe before the current keyframe.

Chapter 13 Keyframe Effects

25Creating and Editing Keyframes

Insertion

Inserting keyframes

To insert a keyframe in an existing effect, use the following procedure in the
keyframe control block.

1

Press the [EDIT ENBL] button, turning it on.

2

Stop the effect at the desired edit point.

3

Create the image for the keyframe you want to insert.

4

Press the [INS] button.
When the edit point is on a keyframe, to insert the new keyframe before
the existing keyframe, hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [INS]
button.

This inserts the current image as the new keyframe.
Inserting a keyframe may change the total duration of the effect. (See

Modification

Modifying keyframes

Use the following procedure in the keyframe control block.

1

Press the [EDIT ENBL] button, turning it on.

2

Stop the effect at the desired edit point.
When the edit point is on a keyframe, this is what you modify. If the edit

point is between two keyframes, the previous keyframe is what you
modify.

Note

In constant duration mode (see “Effect Ed iting” in Chapter 1 (Vol ume 1))
modification is only possible when the edit point is on a keyframe.

3

Using image transformations or adding special effects, modify the
keyframe.

4

Press the [MOD] button.
This modifies the keyframe.

Modifying more than one keyframe simultaneously

You can modify a number of keyframes simultaneously. There are three
different cases for this operation.

• Modifying all keyframes after the edit point, or modifying from the edit point
to a particular keyframe

• Modifying all keyframes in the effect

• Modifying the keyframes in a specified range

The different procedures for these cases are now described.

To modify all keyframes after the edit point, or to modify from the

This section describes settings for M/E-1 Key1 as an example.
The area for the VF buttons shows the names of items.
A B sign by a button indicates that pressing it opens a more detailed setting
menu.
The status area shows the settings for Xpt, Hue, and Curve. However,
depending on the item, these parameters may or may not be present.

37Path Setting

Changing the path type for Curve

Use the following procedure.

Chapter 13 Keyfra me Effects

1

change.

A path selection window appears.

3

Press the indication for the desired path type, to select it.

OFF: Executing the effect causes no change.

Step: There is no interpolation between keyframes, so that the

effect paramaters are updated each time a keyframe is passed.

Linear: Linear interpolation between keyframes, resulting in

constant speed movement.

S-Curve: The rate of change accelerates and decelerates before and

after a keyframe, so that the rate of change is maximum midway
between two keyframes.

Spline: The effect follows a smooth curved path from each

keyframe to the next.

38

Path Setting

The status area reflects the selected path type.
At this point, depending on the setting for Curve, the effect for Hue and
Xpt is also affected as shown in the following table. In the menu, the Hue
and Xpt settings do not change, but the path t ype indication is di mmed out.
