If you Preview Effect on PST in your effect, you can choose to preview the
effect before you send it to air. If you select Dual Channel Effect, you
cannot preview the effect before you send it to air.
Up to 16 different effects can be set up.
For an effect in SD, there may be potential discrepancies in horizontal and
vertical blanking between analog and digital systems. It is recommended that a
crop be added to the effect setup. IconMaster includes the following default
values for the crop settings:
•
Left 2
•
Right 2
•
Top 1
•
Bottom 1
These default values prevent the appearance of a black border when the effect is
underway.
An effect is made up of a sequence of events or segments. To create and store
additional segments in your effect, click Add. Then, with the new segment
number selected in the Segments field, you can modify what the effect looks
like for that segment.
To create and store a multi-segment effect:
1. Double-click one of the cells in the Effects column, and then optionally,
rename the effect (a maximum of 6 characters is allowed).
2. Select Segment 1 in the Segments field for the effect being edited. When a
segment is highlighted in the Segments field, the squeeze and crop fields
are enabled.
3. Select Enable Crop, and then make your required numeric settings (0 to
100) for Top, Bottom, Left and Right.
4. Set the destination of your Squeeze effect in the first segment by changing
the percentage numbers in the Ratio and Position columns.
(Select Maintain Aspect Ratio if you need the horizontal and vertical
values to be kept at a constant ratio.)
Note
Positions can be negative, for off screen positions above or to the
left of the viewable screen area.
5. Click Add to create Segment 2 of your effect, and then select new values
for Ratio and Position.
6. Continue for segments 3 and 4 as applicable.
