Still Store Menus
The Grab Key button permits grabbing only the key portion of an image. This
button is active only after a Video and Key grab has been performed.
Grab Key can be used if the video and key are supplied from separate
sources or are laid down sequentially on a graphics reel. The key image to
be grabbed cannot be previewed using the Still Store (do not press the
Show Input button, as this discards the currently grabbed material). You can
use a separate monitor to view the graphics reel to cue to the key image (see
Step 7 on page 429 ).
Note The Grab buttons are intended for quick capture of full screen stills. To
capture a smaller area, set up a single frame fenced record (see
page 285 ).
The Save button opens a dialog box used to save the current item to disk
( Figure 199 ). The item will be saved to the currently selected folder (see
Folder Browser and Still Store File Ops Menu on page 278 ).
Figure 199. Save Dialog Box
Three save options are available:
Enter absolute Clip ID – Entering a number will save the item to the speci-
fied location, overwriting any item that may be present at that location.
Enter ID Zero – Entering zero (0) makes the system save the time to the
lowest number available storage location.
Press (Enter) – Pressing Enter saves the item to the same item storage
location, overwriting the item currently saved to that location.
The progress of the save is reported in the upper right notification area. See
Approximate Animation Clip Load and Save Times Table 12 on page 423 for
related information about saving clips.
