Section 4— Switcher Operations

With software 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.

4.

Rewind and run the effect. Note that the first and last
keyframes are identical.

5.

Press

GO TO KF, 4, ENTER

. Press CUT.

6.

Rewind and run the effect. Note that the effect is now back to
its original form, and there are four keyframes total.
