Attributes
You can add specific attributes for running an effect
timeline when it is recalled.
The attributes are set for an effect timeline register.
Attributes cannot be added for an effect timeline of an
ext
ernal device region.
Attribute types
You can add the following attributes.
Effect dissolve: The image changes smoothly from the
st
ate 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
key
frame duration and effect duration.
Keyframe duration:
Execution time from a keyframe to the next
k
eyframe.
In constant duration mode, it is not possible to change
th
e keyframe duration.
Effect duration:
Execution time from the first keyframe to the last
k
eyframe of the effect timeline.
When you change the effect duration, the keyframe
d
uration 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
d
uration accordingly.
Constant duration mode:
Inserting or deleting a keyframe does not change the
ef
fect duration. This is useful for keyframe editing
with a fixed effect duration.
In variable duration mode and constant duration mode,
th
e target keyframes for editing are different.
The operation and effect duration when a keyframe is
in
serted/deleted depends on the duration mode as follows.
Delay
You can set the delay time (effect timeline start point)
bet
ween 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
p
erformed between keyframes.
