Overview
KONA After Effects CS5 plugins add KONA functions to the After Effects CS5 application. Three
KONA plugin screens are accessed under the Window pulldown menu. The Capture and
Playback plugin screens allow you to see and edit how the KONA workflow is currently
configured for recording, storage, and playback of your video and audio data. They provide
you with standard tapedeck style play/record functions, status display, and configuration
options. The Preview plugin allows you to view the current frame of your working timeline in
various formats on a monitor connected to a KONA output.
In this section, you will read about the various pull-down options, hot-text entry fields, and
play/record controls and how they interact.
Note: The specific options available to you are determined by the currently active AJA
capture device installed in your workstation. This section will describe all possible options
for KONA.
There are three functional areas in both the Capture and the Playback screen as indicated in
the following illustration (AJA Capture plugin screen is shown): Status Display, Play/Record
Controls, and Configuration Options.
