E-MEM Operations

Note

Performing the transition is not required (pressing Cut accomplishes the
same goal, which is to put the switcher into the next desired state). The tran-
sition type button selection and the keyframe duration determines how the
transition will be performed when the effect runs.

7.

If there will be another transition immediately following this one, select
on the B bus the source that will transition to in the next keyframe. This
prevents undesirable background cuts from occurring.

8.

Press

Insert After

to add this keyframe to the effect.

9.

Repeat the steps above for any additional background transitions.

10.

Rewind and run the effect to check its operation. The transitions will
occur as programmed.

11.

After the effect runs properly, you can go back and modify keyframes
with Source Holds where needed.

If unwanted background cuts occur, go to the keyframe where the cut
occurs, identify the source selected on the A bus, go to the previous key-
frame, select that same source on the B bus, and then press

Modify

to prop-

erly setup that source in that keyframe for that next transition.

To Build Keyer E-MEM Transitions:

Individual keyers transition on or off (there is no keyer preset bus). To
cross fade between keys, use two keyers and have one key transition in
while the other transitions out. You can include any combination of keys in
a single transition, using the transition rules to determine the exact
behavior of the transitioning keys.

1.

Go to the keyframe in the effect where you wish the key transition(s) to
begin.

2.

Select the

Key 1-4

next transition button(s) for the keyer element(s)

involved. Selected keys that are on will transition off, and keys that are
off will transition on.

3.

Select the type of transition (

Mix

,

Wipe 1

, or

Wipe 2

).

4.

Press

Modify

to change the keyframe to the values set above.

5.

Change the on/off state of the keys you wish to transition.

6.

If you are transitioning in a new key, select the source on that key bus.
If you are transitioning out a key, do NOT change the source selected
on the key bus for that keyer (this prevents an unwanted cut).

7.

Press

Insert After

to add this keyframe to the effect.

8.

Repeat the steps above for any additional keyer transitions.
