Effect Editing - Sony MVS-6520 User Manual

These temporary attributes are set when the keyframe
effect is recalled.

Effect Editing

For editing operations such as to insert, delete, or modify a
keyframe, it is necessary to stop the effect at the
corresponding point on the time axis. This is termed an
"edit point."
You can edit either on a keyframe within the effect, or at
any point between keyframes.
Insert: Inserts the current image as a keyframe. Inserting
a keyframe in an existing effect may change the
duration of the effect (1 p.
Modify: Modifies a keyframe. You can modify a single
keyframe or a range of keyframes in the effect
together.
Delete: Deletes a keyframe. You can delete a single
keyframe or a range of keyframes in the effect
together.
Deleting keyframes from an effect reduces the
duration of the effect (1 p.
After deleting a keyframe, you can reinsert the
keyframe with a paste operation.
Copy: Copies a keyframe. You can copy a single keyframe
or a range of keyframes in the effect together.
Paste: Pastes the keyframe last copied or deleted
anywhere within the effect.
Pause: You can set a pause on a particular keyframe, so
that when the effect is run it pauses on this keyframe.
You can make this setting on any number of
keyframes. To restart the paused effect, repeat the
operation to run the effect.
KF Loop: Executes the effect the specified number of
times through the keyframes in the specified range.
Undo an edit operation: Undoes the effect of the last
operation to insert, modify, delete, or paste a
keyframe.
Duration modes
In keyframe editing, there are two duration modes; switch
between them in the Flexi Pad
Variable duration mode: In this mode, inserting or
deleting a keyframe increases or reduces the duration.
Constant duration mode: In this mode, inserting or
deleting a keyframe does not change the duration. This
is useful for keyframe editing of an effect with a fixed
duration.
In the variable and constant duration modes, the keyframes
to which a modify operation applies, and the effect of a
paste operation are different.

Variable duration mode: The copied keyframe is
inserted at the specified position.
Constant duration mode: The copied keyframe is written
over the specified position.
Transition mode
On the MVS-6520/6530/3000A, you can use an effect
created with keyframes as a DME wipe pattern on the
switcher. In this case, it is necessary to set the transition
mode (the way in which the effect behaves)
Time Settings
Keyframe duration and effect duration
You can determine the execution time of an effect by
setting either the keyframe duration or the effect duration.
Keyframe duration: This is the time from the keyframe to
the next keyframe. You can set this time in the Flexi
Pad (1 p. 258).
In constant duration mode
possible to change the keyframe duration setting.
Effect duration: This is the total execution time of the
effect, from the first keyframe to the last. You can set
this time in the Flexi Pad
When you change the effect duration, the keyframe
duration for each keyframe in the effect is
automatically recalculated proportionally.
