Difference in keyframes to which a modify
operation applies
Effect Variable duration

On a Applies to currently
keyframe selected keyframe
Between Applies to previous
two keyframe
keyframes
a) A new keyframe is inserted at the effect position.
Difference in the effect of a paste operation
Variable duration mode: The copied keyframe is
inserted at the specified position.
Constant duration mode: The copied keyframe is written
over the specified position.
Transition mode
You can use an effect created with keyframes as a DME
wipe pattern on the switcher. In this case, it is necessary to
set the transition mode (the way in which the effect
behaves) (see page 397).

Time Settings

Keyframe duration and effect duration
You can determine the execution time of an effect by
setting either the keyframe durations or the effect duration.
Keyframe duration: This is the time from the keyframe to
the next keyframe. You can set this time in the
keyframe control block (see page 400).
In constant duration mode (see page 381), it is not
possible to change the keyframe duration setting.
Effect duration: This is the total execution time of the
effect, from the first keyframe to the last. You can set
this time in the keyframe control block (see page 400).
When you change the effect duration, the keyframe
duration for each keyframe in the effect is
automatically recalculated proportionally.

Changes in the effect duration caused by
inserting a keyframe
• When the effect is stopped on a keyframe, inserting a
keyframe increases the effect duration by the duration of
the inserted keyframe.
• When the effect is stopped between two keyframes,
inserting a keyframe does not change the effect duration.
Notes
In constant duration mode (see page 381), the duration of
the current keyframe is reduced to zero, and the new
keyframe is inserted with the previous duration of the
current keyframe. Thus the effect duration does not
change.

Changes in the effect duration caused by
deleting a keyframe
• When the effect is stopped on a keyframe, a delete
operation deletes the keyframe, and reduces the effect
duration by the duration of the deleted keyframe.
• When the effect is stopped between two keyframes, a
delete operation deletes the preceding keyframe, and
reduces the effect duration by the duration of the deleted
keyframe.
Notes
In constant duration mode (see page 381), the duration of
the keyframe before the deleted keyframe is increased by
