SelectingDifferentRainbowandPixel Patterns
If you selected a rainbow or pixel pattern using the top sub-menu, you can
choose from a variety of styles. Use MARK START to make the second sub-
menu active and use the arrow keys to highlight different pattern numbers.
The patch at the bottom shows you the style you have highlighted. Note that
some ofthe styles move. These are called animatedpatterns.
OnePatternperPage
Important note: All same-type patternsused on a page must be thesame,
whether used for background, letters, border, or outlines. For instance, if you
use rainbow for outlines and borders, both will have the same color, style, etc.
Likewise, all pixel patterns will match within a page. Each page can use a
different color and style but within one page, you can use only one rainbow
and one pixel pattern.
Note also that in the Editing Screen, when two pages are on the screen at
once, all patterns will match the patterns used on the page that holds the
cursor. As you move the cursor between pages, all the patterns on the screen
will change to match the ones used on the page that holds the cursor.
MixingVideointoaBackgroundPattern
You can mix video into a background pattern (3 on the previous page),
blending bothimages on the screen. This creates atransparent effect as if the
pattern were a see-through filter over your video. To do this, use the video
mixing control in the Background Pattern menu. This control doesn’t appear
on other Pattern menus.
The position of the diamond-shaped marker determines how video and
pattern are mixed in the background. When the marker is to the left, the pat-
tern is opaque, with no video. As it moves to the right, more video is added
and the pattern is gradually removed until, at the far right, the background is
all video with no pattern.
HintsonUsingPatterns
• Important: Rainbow patterns are very bright andshould be used sparingly.
Some video equipment may react to the brighter patterns. If you encounter
undesired fringing or overly bright colors, try mixing the rainbow pattern
withvideo (see “MixingVideo into aBackground Pattern,” above)or choose
the moresubdued patterns such as numbers 4, 5,and 11.
