Creating Still
Montages
You can use the Freeze function to transition between a series of still images to create a “still mon-
tage.” You can use from one to four sources.
To create a still montage:
1 Route a video source to Channel A. Remember, you can use up to as many as four sources for
this procedure.
This example starts from a black screen, then transitions to a still image.
2 Enter BG COLOR +0 (zero) to set the background color to black.
3 Press CUT / BACKGROUND to set the Color Channel as the Current source. You now have a
black screen on the Program monitor.
4 Press NEXT / A to set Channel A as the Next source.
5 Enter SHIFT +4 to set the Preview monitor to Preview Next mode.
You’re now ready to create and transition to the first still image.
6 Enter SHIFT + FREEZE to create a frozen image on the Next channel.
7 Enter 1, OK , PLAY to dissolve from black to the first frozen image.
The NEXT and CURRENT sources swap positions. You’re now ready to select the second still
image.
8 Press any NEXT button to select a new source to freeze.
9 Enter SHIFT + FREEZE to freeze the NEXT image.
10 Enter 1, OK , PLAY to dissolve to the NEXT image.
To transition to other still images, repeat steps 8 through 10.
