Working with scene objects
Clip objects on the scene canvas
Adding a Clip object to the scene’s canvas allows you to position and playout a video clip
on air.
As described on page 5-3 , a clip object on the scene can either be clip asset that was added
from the Asset Browser, or a Clip primitive . When a clip primitive is added to the scene,
it is empty as it does not yet have a video clip file associated to it. See page 5-5 for
instructions on associating an asset with the Clip primitive.
Other methods for determining or changing which clip asset will appear in the Clip object
include using C
LIP C OMMAND action in response to an event during playout ( page 10-22 ) or
using the C LIP N AME property within a keyframe on the scene’s animation channel ( page 7-60 ).
You can change the default appearance and behavior of a Clip scene object by selecting
the object on the canvas and editing its properties settings in the Properties Browser. While
full descriptions of all of the scene object properties are provided in
“Scene object
properties” on page 15-13 , the following table summarizes the properties specifically
