Clip Transitions
You can play a frame memory clip linked to a background
transition, such as a mix or wipe.
Only eight channels comprising FM1 to FM8 (FM1&2
Clip, FM3&4 Clip, FM5&6 Clip, FM7&8 Clip) can be
used in a clip 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.
• Keyframe capture is not possible.
• The state of a clip transition during execution cannot be
saved as 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.
• Transitions executed in two strokes, such as a preset
color mix with the stroke mode set to [Normal], or a
DME wipe with a picture-in-picture pattern, will not
execute correctly.
• In 4K format, only four channels comprising FM1 to
FM4 (FM1&2 Clip, FM3&4 Clip) can be used.
• When a clip transition is selected as the transition type,
the wipe direction selection button in the transition
control block that is lit indicates the direction of clip
playback.
Clip Transition Settings
This section describes clip transitions using FM1&2 Clip
on the M/E-1 bank as an example.
To use a clip transition effectively, the image from the
frame memory clip image that is played back during the
clip transition must be reflected in the M/E-1 program
image beforehand. For example, the settings for inserting
a key using FM1 and FM2.
