Ops 7–36 • Keying Vision Operator’s Manual (v12.0 MD)
Key Smear Trails — Border Menu
•Use the Decay Rate knob on the Border Menu to adjust the amount that the trail
fades each frame. If decay rate is set to 0.0%, the trail does not decay, and the
image becomes static. If the decay rate is set to 100.0%, the trail becomes
transparent.
•Use the Decay To knob on the Border Menu to select the type of decay that is
used. You can choose between the following:
› Video — Select this option to use the video content of the key to create the
trail.
› Color — Select this option to apply a color tint to the trail. Because the trail is
applied on top of the video, the video appears to be tinted by the matte color.
Use the Decay Color Menu to select the specific color you want to use.
5. Press Decay Color on the Border Menu.
Color Selection
Note — If the Matte Limit feature is active, the RGB color space is not available. You will only
be able to make color selection in the HSL color space. Refer to the section “Personality List”
on page Eng 11-2 for more information.
• Select the color you want to use for the trail using the knobs, positioner, or by
selecting a point on the Color Wheel.
This completes the procedure for applying a Key Smear trail to a key.
