Master Timelines; Sequence Of Keyframe Operations - Sony MVS-8000X User Manual

Range of execution
Each time the [RUN] button is pressed, the range of
execution of the effect is from timecode 01:00:00:00 or the
current time (the position at which the current effect is
stopped) to the end point of the effect. However, if there is
a pause set on a keyframe, the execution range is up to that
point. Pressing the [RUN] button again resumes the effect,
which then runs to the next pause point or the end of the
effect.
Run mode setting
You can select from the following run modes for when the
effect is executed.
DIRECTION: Specify the effect execution direction.
STOP NEXT KF: Run the effect, and stop at the next
keyframe.
EFFECT LOOP: Repeat the effect in an endless loop.
Make these settings in the keyframe control block.
For details, see "Setting the Run Mode" (page 57).

You can save the regions selected for a keyframe effect
and the register numbers saved in the regions in a master
timeline register so that operation can be applied to two or
more regions at a time.
To save master timeline registers, use the numeric keypad
control block, Multifunction Flexi Pad control block or
