Difference in the effect of a paste operation
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
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).
For details of the setting, see “User Programmable DME Transition Mode”
(page 483).
Time Settings
Keyframe duration and effect duration
You can determine the execution time of an effect by setting either the
keyframe durations or the effect duration.
Keyframe duration: This is the time from the keyframe to the next keyframe.
You can set this time in the keyframe control block. (See “Time Settings”
in Chapter 13 (Volume 2).)
In constant duration mode (see page 170), it is not 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 keyframe control block.
(See “Time Settings” in Chapter 13 (Volume 2).)
When you change the effect duration, the keyframe duration for each
keyframe in the effect is automatically recalculated proportionally.
