Once you activate the Learn feature, the MX-4 DV remembers each step you go through in
preparing a production — including all transitions, input effects, and other operations. You can
play back this Learned Script to automatically perform all of the steps and functions it contains.
Refer to Chapter 11, Learn Mode, for complete information.

Use Compose to create screen images made up of several different graphic
elements. For example, a composed screen might show two still images
(polar bears and Kong) placed atop solid colored rectangles and a solid
colored background. With a character generator (such as the Videonics
TitleMaker), you can also add text elements to composed screens. Refer to
Chapter 9, Compose.

PIPs (Picture-In-Picture) let you combine images from separate sources
and place them on the screen at the same time in separate windows (or,
tiles). You have many options for arranging the PIP windows on the
screen. Refer to Chapter 8, PIPs.

The Freeze effect immediately freezes the selected video source.
This section describes the types of freeze effects you can produce with MX-4 DV and how to use
Freeze with transitions.
You can also use the Freeze effect with the MX-4 DV PIP and Compose features. Refer to Chapter
8, PIPs, and Chapter 9, Compose, for further information.
Field and Frame Freezes
You can freeze either a video field, or a full frame.
Field Freeze – Captures every other horizontal line of the video. This is ideal for capturing
anything in motion.
