Clip Transitions

Overview

You can play frame memory video content linked to a
background transition, such as a mix or wipe.
A key for a clip transition is mixed with the background
during execution of the transition.
Clip transition restrictions
• Pattern limits cannot be used.
• Transition preview cannot be used.
• It is not possible to set the transition rate of a clip
transition.
• A clip transition cannot be saved in an effect timeline as
a keyframe.
• The state of a clip transition during execution cannot be
saved in a snapshot.
• When recalling a snapshot that includes a clip transition
while executing another clip transition, the subsequent
transition does not operate properly. Recall the
snapshot after the transition completes.
• When recalling a DME wipe snapshot while executing
a clip transition, the image may be distorted.
• Transitions executed in two strokes, such as a preset
color mix when the stroke mode is set to normal mode,
or a DME wipe with a picture-in-picture pattern, will
not execute properly.
• When a clip transition is selected, the wipe direction
selection button in the transition control block/
transition control block (simple type) that is lit indicates
the playback direction of the frame memory clip.
Note
The number of channels that can be used in a clip
transition will vary depending on the system signal
format.
