Clip Transitions 9 Chapter Overview Setting a Clip Transition You can play frame memory video content linked to a background transition, such as a mix or wipe. A key for a clip transition is mixed with the background during execution of the transition. Clip transition restrictions • Pattern limits cannot be used. • Transition preview cannot be used. • It is not possible to set the transition rate of a clip transition. • A clip transition cannot be saved in an effect timeline as a keyframe. • The state of a clip transition during execution cannot be saved in a snapshot. • When recalling a snapshot that includes a clip transition while executing another clip transition, the subsequent transition does not operate properly. Recall the snapshot after the transition completes. • When recalling a DME wipe snapshot while executing a clip transition, the image may be distorted. • Transitions executed in two strokes, such as a preset color mix when the stroke mode is set to normal mode, or a DME wipe with a picture-in-picture pattern, will not execute properly. • When a clip transition is selected, the wipe direction selection button in the transition control block/ transition control block (simple type) that is lit indicates the playback direction of the frame memory clip. Note The number of channels that can be used in a clip transition will vary depending on the system signal format. This section describes clip transitions using frame memory output channels 1 and 2 on M/E-1 as an example. Selecting a Transition Type You can select a clip transition on a frame memory output channel to use using the transition control block, transition control block (simple type), or the menu. To select using the transition control block Press a [FM1&FM2 CLIP] to [FM15&FM16 CLIP] button, turning it on, in the transition control block/ transition control block (simple type). For frame memory output channels 1 and 2, press the [FM1&FM2 CLIP] button, turning it on. For details, see "Setting a transition type (transition control block)" (page 99). Note When the system signal format is 2160P, only the [FM1&FM2 CLIP] button, [FM3&FM4 CLIP] button, and [FM5&FM6 CLIP] button, or the [FM7&FM8 CLIP] button, [FM9&FM10 CLIP] button, and [FM11&FM12 CLIP] button can be selected depending on the setting in the Home > Setup > Switcher > Box Settings > DME/FM Channel Assign menu (19103.53). To select using the menu In the Home > M/E-1 > Bus/Transition > Transition > Transition Type menu (11109.21), set a [FM 1&2 Clip] to [FM 15&16 Clip] button in the [Transition Type] group to the on state. For frame memory output channels 1 and 2, set the [FM 1&2 Clip] button to the on state. For details, see "Setting the key transition type (menu)" (page 99). 173
