Questions and answers
Cómo le pongo un frezz a un clip en previo y q en Pgm se respete ese frezz , ejemplo: en un fuera de lugar quiero q en Pgm se ponga frezz cuando un jugador le pega al balón , allí quiero q se detenga la imagen para yo después seguir corriendo en play la imagen.
To freeze a clip in preview and maintain that freeze in program using the EVS X-ONE when a player kicks the ball, follow these steps:
1. Use the external controller button (e.g., F1–F6) configured with the desired SEND_TO_PRVx action to send the freeze frame to Preview.
2. Once in Preview, ensure the clip is paused at the frame where the player kicks the ball.
3. Press the corresponding SEND_TO_PGMx button (e.g., F1 for PGM1) to send the frozen frame from Preview to Program.
This sequence allows you to freeze the clip in Preview and then push that frozen frame to Program.
