Section 4— Switcher Operations
Cut, Copy, and Paste Keyframes
You can change the position of keyframes with the Cut, Copy, and
Paste functions.
The current keyframe can be copied and removed from an effect
by pressing CUT.
NOTE:
Be sure the level is not locked on the E-MEM register when
doing cuts and pastes.
Previous to version 5.2 software release, the CUT button deleted
delegated level keyframes when the Time Cursor was positioned
on a Master Timeline keyframe, and the duration of the Master
Timeline keyframe is deleted from all delegated levels, even those
that did not have a keyframe at that point. The overall effect
duration is decreased by the duration of the cut keyframe.
However, with version 5.2 and later, if the cursor on any delegated
level is not on a keyframe, the Cut function is disabled. This is
indicated by the lamp being out in the Cut pushbutton.
You can copy a keyframe, without changing the effect with the
COPY button. The copied keyframe may be inserted at any point
in the current effect, or any other effect, with the PASTE button. If
pasted on a keyframe, the paste operation is performed as an
INSRT AFTER.
As keyframes are added or deleted from an effect, the total effect
time duration changes. That is, adding adds time to the effect; and
deleting subtracts time from the effect.
To practice these three functions:
1. Recall an effect with 4 keyframes.
2. Press GO TO KF, 1, ENTER. Press COPY.
3. Press GO TO KF, 4, ENTER. Press PASTE. Note that there are
now a total of 5 keyframes in the effect.
