Page 40: Transformation Basics
Transformation Basics This section describes the basic procedures for carrying out three- dimensional transformations and the concepts of the coordinate spaces used. Basic Procedure Three-dimensional transformations are carried out principally using the transformation operation section of the control panel. Page numbers for more detailed explanations are given in parentheses.
Page 41: Source Coordinate Frame And Target Coordinate Frame
Operate the trackball or Z-ring to make the transformation, as follows. • To make an arbitrary two-dimensional movement, use the trackball. • To move along the x-axis only, move the trackball to left or right. • To move along the y-axis only, move the trackball up or down.
Page 42: Three-Dimensional Coordinates
Transformation Basics Three-Dimensional Coordinates The figure below illustrates the x-, y- and z-coordinate values for each of the coordinate frames. • In the source coordinate frame, the origin is at the center of the image, and the x- and y-coordinates range from –4 to +4 and –3 to +3 respectively over the area of the image.
Page 43 Changing three-dimensional coordinate values with the numeric keypad The coordinates for the reference channel are constantly displayed on the menu screen. (See page 4-5.) You can carry out a transformation by changing these values with the numeric keypad, without using the trackball or Z-ring. Use the following procedure to set coordinate values.

Page 242: Overview
Overview This section gives an overview of key frames, and describes the operations required. Key Frames and Effects A key frame is a set of data which determines the instantaneous pattern of an effect during a transition. An effect, in turn, is obtained from a sequence of key frames, interpolated along the time axis so as to appear continuous.
Page 243: Basic Procedure
Basic Procedure The following procedure covers the steps from generating a key frame to carrying out the effect. See the pages shown in parenthesis for detailed descriptions of the operations. Recalling the register holding the effect (page 7-4) When creating a new effect, recall an empty register, otherwise, recall the register holding the effect to be edited.
Page 244: Registers And Channels
Registers and Channels This section describes how to access the registers used to hold effects, and also how to perform channel selection. Accessing Registers Register organization The memory used to store the collection of key frames making up an effect is divided into notional registers, numbered from 1 to 99. Each register can hold from 1 to 99 key frames.
Page 245 Accessing a register Use the following procedure to access a register in which to save an effect. In the effect store and recall section, press the RECAL EFF button, turning it on. Enter the number of the register to be accessed from the numeric keypad.
Page 246: Channel Selection
Registers and Channels Channel Selection The creation and editing of key frames and execution of effects takes place on the selected channel or channels, which are known as the active channels. If more than one channel is selected, you must select one of them to be the reference channel, to be the basis for operations and menu displays.
Page 247: Generating And Editing Key Frames
Generating and Editing Key Frames This section describes how to generate and edit key frames, and how to make time settings. Creating New Key Frames Creating new key frames When creating a new key frame, first access an empty register, then use the following procedure to create the required number of key frames in turn, to build the effect.
Page 248: Parameter Settings Which Can Be Included In Key Frames
Generating and Editing Key Frames Press the BEFR/INSRT button. This inserts the current key frame (key frame 2) after key frame 1. Repeat steps 5 and 6 to create all the necessary key frames. When inserting key frames, the key frame duration (that is, the time from one key frame to the next) is normally set to 1 second.
Page 249: Editing Key Frames
Editing Key Frames Specifying the edit point When inserting, editing or deleting a key frame, it is necessary to stop the effect at the appropriate point on the timeline. Such a point is referred to as an edit point, and it is possible to specify any point, whether on a key frame or between two key frames.
Page 250 Generating and Editing Key Frames Inserting a key frame Use the following procedure to insert a key frame into an already created effect. Select the active channels and the reference channel. Stop the effect on the required edit point. Press the KF EDIT ENABL button, turning it on. Create the key frame to be inserted.
Page 251 Relation between insertion position and changes in effect duration When the edit point is intermediate between two key frames as shown below, inserting a key frame does not change the timing of any other key frames, and the total effect duration remains the same.
Page 252 Generating and Editing Key Frames Amending a key frame Use the following procedure to amend an already created key frame. Select the active channels and the reference channel. Stop the effect on the required edit point. When the edit point is on a key frame, that key frame will be amended.
Page 253 Use one of the following methods to specify the range for amendment. • To carry out the amendment from the current key frame to the end of the effect, no input is necessary. Continue to step • To specify the range by key frame numbers, input the starting key frame number, press the ENTER button, input the ending key frame number, and press the ENTER button.
Page 254 Generating and Editing Key Frames Deleting key frames Normally, regardless of the position of the edit point, when you delete a key frame the total duration of the effect changes. If you do not wish the deletion to change the total duration of the effect, first press the CNST DUR button in the duration setting section, turning it on.
Page 255 Undelete function Until you delete another key frame, you can always recover the last deleted key frame, which is saved in an undelete buffer. You can reinsert this key frame at any position, using the following procedure. Stop the effect on the required edit point. Regardless of the position from which the key frame was deleted, you can reinsert it at any position.
Page 256: Time Settings
Generating and Editing Key Frames Time Settings Key frame duration and effect duration Set the key frame duration and effect duration to determine the time taken by the effect. • The key frame duration refers to the interval elapsing between one key frame and the next.
Page 257 Press the KF EDIT ENABL button, turning it on. Hold down the SHIFT button and press the KF/DUR EFF button. Enter the numeric value (seconds and frames) using the numeric keypad, and press the ENTER button. For example, to enter 9 seconds 20 frames, enter “9.20”. The maximum value which can be set is 59 seconds 29 frames.
Page 258: Path Settings
Path Settings These settings determine the way in which the elements defining the image change in the interpolated images. The term “path” is used to refer to the manner of interpolation. Selecting Settings – 60 It is possible to select the interpolation path between key frames separately for different items (three-dimensional transformations, or various special effects, for example), or alternatively you can make a single setting for all items.

Page 260: Basic Operations For Path Settings - 61 To 68
Path Settings Basic Operations for Path Settings – 61 to 68 Making the same path setting for all items To make the same path setting for all items, use the following procedure in the menu 61 (PATH ALL menu). When using the menus 62 to 68, follow the same procedure after making the necessary adjustments.
Page 261 Hue path settings for “MATTE”: For the “MATTE” item, the hue path settings are indicated by the following iconic representations. : Rotate the hue clockwise when observed on a vectorscope. : Rotate the hue counterclockwise when observed on a vectorscope. : Rotate the hue in whichever direction makes the path to the next key frame shortest.
Page 262: Spline Curve Settings
Path Settings Spline Curve Settings The following examples show how the key frame interpolation path changes as you adjust the spline curve parameters. In the figures, the x- and y-axes represent the video image space, and the curve shows the transition from key frame 1 (KF1) to key frame 4 (KF4).
Page 263 • Tension = +1.00 The paths between adjacent pairs of key frame points are straight lines. The effect appears to lose speed as it passes through key frame point 2. • Tension = –1.00 The path is maximally slack as it passes through the key frame point 2, with a speed twice that when the tension is zero.
Page 264 Path Settings Bias adjustment • Bias = 0 The direction of the path through key frame point 2 is parallel to a line joining key frame points 1 and 3. • Bias = +1.00 The direction of the path through key frame point 2 is biased toward the direction from key frame point 1, and it only curves toward key frame point 3 after leaving point 2.
Page 265 • Bias = –1.00 The direction of the path through key frame point 2 is biased in the direction toward key frame point 3, and it adopts this orientation before reaching point 2. Continuity adjustment This allows the directions of the incoming and outgoing vectors to be different.
Page 266 Path Settings • Continuity = +1.00 The path is already in the direction toward point 3 as it enters key frame point 2, but then reverts to the direction from point 1 as it leaves. Thus the direction of the path is not continuous as it passes the key frame.
Page 267: Executing Effects
Executing Effects You can execute the effect in the currently recalled register, using the RUN button or trackball and Z-ring, to view the final effect. To execute the effect, use the following procedure. Execution with the trackball and Z-ring Select the active channels and the reference channel.
