Keyframe loop
You can loop between keyframes of
a specified range for
a specified number of times.
Attributes
You can add specific attributes for running an effect
timeline when it is recalled.
The attributes are set for an effect
timeline register.
Attributes cannot be added for
an effect timeline of an
external device region.
Attribute types
You can add the following attributes.
Effect dissolve: The image c
hanges smoothly from the
state before the effect timeline is recalled to the state
at the start of the effect timeline.
Temporary attributes
Apart from attributes set in an effect timeline register, you
can add temporary attributes when an effect timeline is
recalled. Temporary attributes are set when recalling an
effect timeline.
Duration and Delay
Duration
The effect timeline execution time
is determined by the
keyframe duration and effect duration.
Keyframe duration:
Execution time from a keyframe to the next
keyf
rame.
In constant duration mode, it is not possible
to change
the keyframe duration.
Effect duration:
Execution time from the first keyframe
to the last
keyframe of the effect timeline.
When you change the effect
duration, the keyframe
duration for each keyframe in the effect timeline is
automatically recalculated.
The following two types of duration mode are available
for an effect timeline.
Variable duration mode:
Inserting or deleting a keyframe changes the effect
du
ration accordingly.
Constant duration mode:
Inserting or deleting a keyframe does not change the
ef
fect duration. This is useful for keyframe editing
with a fixed effect duration.
In variable duration mode and constant duration mode,
t
he target keyframes for editing are different.
The operation and effect duration
when a keyframe is
inserted/deleted depends on the duration mode as follows.
Delay
You can set the delay time (effect timeline start point)
betwee
n when an effect timeline execution is initiated and
when the effect timeline actually begins.
Changing the delay does not
alter the effect duration.

Keyframe

Editing a keyframe
is not possible.
Inserting a
keyframe
Variable duration
mode
Constant
duration mode
When an edit
point is at a
keyframe
Effect duration
increases by the
size of the
inserted keyframe.
Effect duration
does not change.
A new keyframe is
inse
rted with the
current keyframe
duration, and the
current keyframe
duration is reset to
0.
When an edit

nt is between
keyframes
Effect duration
does not change.

Constant
duration mode
When an edit

keyframe
Effect duration
decreases by the
size of the deleted
keyframe.
Effect duration
does not change.
The keyframe
dura
tion before
the deleted
keyframe is
increased by the
size of the deleted
keyframe.
When an edit
poi
nt is between
keyframes
Previous keyframe
is deleted and the
effect duration
decreases by the
size of the deleted
keyframe.
Deleting a
keyframe is not
possible.
