Attributes You can add specific attributes for running an effect timeline when it is recalled. The attributes are set for an effect timeline register. Note Attributes cannot be added for an effect timeline of an external device region. Attribute types You can add the following attributes. Effect dissolve: The image changes smoothly from the state before the effect timeline is recalled to the state at the start of the effect timeline. Temporary attributes Apart from attributes set in an effect timeline register, you can add temporary attributes when an effect timeline is recalled. Temporary attributes are set when recalling an effect timeline. Duration and Delay Duration The effect timeline execution time is determined by the keyframe duration and effect duration. Keyframe duration: Execution time from a keyframe to the next keyframe. In constant duration mode, it is not possible to change the keyframe duration. Effect duration: Execution time from the first keyframe to the last keyframe of the effect timeline. When you change the effect duration, the keyframe duration for each keyframe in the effect timeline is automatically recalculated. The following two types of duration mode are available for an effect timeline. Variable duration mode: Inserting or deleting a keyframe changes the effect duration accordingly. Constant duration mode: Inserting or deleting a keyframe does not change the effect duration. This is useful for keyframe editing with a fixed effect duration. In variable duration mode and constant duration mode, the target keyframes for editing are different.

Keyframe Editing a keyframe preceding the edit is not possible. point becomes the edit target. The operation and effect duration when a keyframe is inserted/deleted depends on the duration mode as follows.

Deleting a keyframe When an edit point is at a keyframe When an edit point is between keyframes Variable duration Constant mode duration mode Effect duration decreases by the size of the deleted keyframe. Effect duration does not change. The keyframe duration before the deleted keyframe is increased by the size of the deleted keyframe. Previous keyframe Deleting a is deleted and the keyframe is not effect duration possible. decreases by the size of the deleted keyframe. Delay You can set the delay time (effect timeline start point) between when an effect timeline execution is initiated and when the effect timeline actually begins. Changing the delay does not alter the effect duration. Keyframe Path The keyframe path sets how an image changes from one keyframe to the next keyframe. Setting the keyframe path sets how interpolation is performed between keyframes. 252
