Notes
When executing a timeline using a disk recorder or
Extended VTR, note the following points.
• It is not possible to use loop and recue on the timeline.
• For a disk recorder, the maximum number of files for a
single register is eight.
• When carrying out keyframe settings, be sure to recall
the file for operation first.
• If the duration of the recorded video clip is less than the
keyframe duration, after playback to the end of the clip,
the remainder of the keyframe duration is filled with a
still of the last frame of the clip (see figure below).
Example: When the recorded clip for keyframe 1 has a duration
of 15 frames
30 frames
15 15
frames frames
: Interval for which clip is recorded
: Interval in which still frame is displayed
In this example, when keyframe 1 is executed, the first
15 frames consist of clip playback and the remaining 15
frames show the 15th frame as a still image.
When executing the timeline using a disk recorder, also
take note of the following points.
• Set the keyframe duration to at least 30 frames.
• From pressing the [RUN] button to the time when the
effect actually starts execution may take around one
second.
In order that pressing the [RUN] button after [REWIND]
make the effect start execution as soon as possible, set
cueing up of the file for operation as rewind operation
2)
In the first keyframe to be executed with [RUN], for
the cued-up file, do not set the start point, but set only the
start command.
1) If the setting when the [REWIND] button is pressed is for the first
keyframe to be executed, then the first keyframe is executed, and
otherwise the setting for the Rewind Action is carried out.
2) If the setting when the [REWIND] button is pressed is for the first
keyframe to be executed, then the second keyframe is executed, and
otherwise the first keyframe is executed.
• To execute an effect, be sure to carry out a Rewind.
For example, when the start command only is set for a
keyframe, playback starts from the current position, in
the same way as with a VTR (no automatic cue-up).
• During file playback, to play the next keyframe at
variable speed, for the next keyframe set variable speed
only, and do not set the start point (see figure below).

operations, the system may freeze on the frame of the
start point.
Press the [RUN] button to play to a point close to the
end of a file, stop playback, then press the [RUN]
button once more.
In such cases, first recall a different register, then carry
out the following sequence:

with reference to the following figure, which illustrates
