E-MEM Operations

Figure 271. Insert on Path

Note that after inserting on the path, the preceding keyframe’s duration is
shortened and the new keyframe’s duration extends to the next keyframe.
When keyframes are inserted on the path the overall effect duration does
not change.

When an empty register is recalled, no keyframes exist yet for the cursor to
be on or between. In this situation, because the cursor is not on a keyframe
the Insert operation inserts on the path. This is why either Insert button can
be pressed to create the first keyframe in a new effect.

Deleting a Keyframe

When the edit cursor is on a keyframe, pressing

Cut

removes that keyframe

from the effect. The

Cut

button is inactive when the edit cursor is on the

path.

Delete behavior is affected by Constant Duration mode. When Constant
Duration is OFF, the duration of the deleted keyframe is also removed from
the effect (time to the next keyframe). When Constant Duration is ON, the
duration of the previous keyframe is increased by the deleted keyframe’s
duration, so the total duration of the effect is unchanged. After a delete
operation, any keyframes following the deleted keyframe are renumbered
accordingly (

Figure 272

).
