Still Store Operations

which can be used to transition into and out of the looping section. You will
need to find appropriate loop points to make a looped clip of this type play
seamlessly.

1.

Find the repeating section of the clip and set a

Loop To

point on a frame

just inside its start. The first frame of a repetitive section is not always
the best choice.

1.

Go to the frame later in the clip that matches the lop frame you just set.

2.

Jog back one field, and set it as the

Loop From

point.

3.

Set a negative loop count so the clip loops constantly and start
playback. Watch the animation carefully at the loop point. If a jump is
visible, adjust the Loop To and/or Loop From points using the soft
knobs while the animation is running until the jump disappears.

4.

Stop the clip playback, set the Count to the desired number of repeats,
and touch

Save

to save the clip with the modifications.

Loading Items to Still Store Outputs with the Still Store Menu

Items can be loaded directly to an output, or preset so it can be taken to the
output later. If you are using video/key pair items, the Still Store output
you select should be paired.

Direct Load

1.

Touch the Program output button of the desired Still Store output.

2.

Touch the desired item in the scrolling list on the right (you may need
to touch the

Show Details

button to reveal the list). If cached, the item will

be displayed on the output immediately. If not cached, there will be a
delay before it is displayed, the length of which depends on the amount
of data being cached.

Preset Load

1.

Touch the Preset output button of the desired Still Store output.

2.

Touch the desired item in the scrolling list on the right (you may need
to touch the

Show Details

button to reveal the list). The item preset will

be cached if necessary.

3.

When you wish to display the item on that Still Store output, press the
Arrow button between the Preset and Program buttons.
