Sony MVS-8000X User Manual page 163

Note
The frame memory used for creating an effect must be
assigned to a user region beforehand (see page 435).
Effect creation
In the Frame Memory menu, effect creation follows the
image file names. Files with matching file names
(excluding the last three characters) are treated as an image
file group, and effects are created using the last three
(numeric) characters in sequence.
Note
When creating an effect in pair mode (see page 154), only
main files and sub files with the same last three (numeric)
characters in the file name are used.
Effect execution
To recall a continuous sequence of still images, create an
effect in the user region with the still image files as a
keyframe, and run the created effect.
Note
When the signal format is 720P or 1080P format, recalling
frame memory continuously is executed in 2-frame units
only.
