Section 4 — Menus Overview
Freeze Controls
The Freeze controls affect the appearance of a still image or a stopped clip.
These controls are keyframeable (see
page 437 ).
The Frame button selects a two field display. This display offers the highest
resolution, but moving video can cause flicker between the fields.
The Field 1 and Field 2 buttons selects the specified single field display. The
other field is synthesized in one of two ways:
When Field Interp is selected the missing field is created by interpolating
adjacent lines from the selected field.
When Field Replicate is selected the missing field is created by replicating
the selected field.
Clip Playback Editing Controls
When a clip is selected the clip playback editing controls in this pane are
active (
Figure 201 on page 285 ). Once a clip has been captured, its intended
playback can be adjusted. Marks can be entered to control where a clip
starts and ends, and looping controls are also available. These adjustments
can then be saved so they are applied when that clip is loaded to a Still
Store output.
A timeline graph in the center of the pane shows the physical length of the
clip and the defined playback region. A white cursor shows the current
playback time of the clip. Mark Begin (green), Mark End (yellow), Loop To
(blue), and Loop From (gold) indicators are also included on the graph.
Mark control buttons are located immediately above the timeline graph,
and loop controls are available below.
The Jog Back and Jog Forward buttons at the bottom of the pane move the clip
one frame backward or forward. Movement is restricted to the playable
area of the clip, and will stop at Begin and End marks (unless
Disable Marks
is turned on). A soft knob jog control is also available (see page 287 ) which
permits movement before and after the marks regardless of the
Disable Marks setting. The Cue, Stop, and Play controls labeled with stan-
dard symbols at the bottom center of the menu can also be used to cue,
play, and stop the selected clip.
The Go To Mark button activates a mode in which touching a mark or loop
button moves the current time of the clip to that mark. For example, to go
to the mark end point, turn on
Go To Mark and then press Mark End .
Turning the Disable Marks button on temporarily deactivates begin and end
marks and looping. Clips will then play only once from their absolute
beginning to their absolute end, and can be jogged backward and forward
to any recorded location. This button state is not saved to E-MEM.
