Content Effect Modes
A Content Effect can play back its Series in three different modes:
• Break
• Continuous
• Build
In the Series Editor you can define a default mode that is set every time the Series is
activated. It's possible to change this mode on the fly when you edit the Effect Playback
parameters. See
Series List .
What mode do I use?
The modes allow you to get completely different results, using the same Series. The beauty
of the Content Effect is that it allows you to get very specific results with little programming
effort. We can provide some examples, but the whole idea is that you create your own
unique effects using this powerful tool.
EXAMPLES OF APPLICATIONS
"All in blue, then pop to white one by one"
This can be done with a Content Effect in Break mode, with just a Background state (blue)
and one step (white).
In this example absolute values for Cyan, Magenta and Yellow were
used. It could have been a single color palette just as well. Also, the
times are set to 100% of the default times.
"A fly out"
This can be done with a Content Effect in Break mode with a starting point (usually pointing
down with no intensity and two steps, 1) to turn the intensity on and move to the "away"
position and 2) to turn the channels off again before they return to the background state.
