K-Frame: can't do a shaped video key by timeline anymore?

In the NBC look, only some of the transitions require (or at least, look proper with) shaped video turned on.  The rest are all normal, unshaped.  Not a problem in the Kalypso or Kayenne, as you could turn that trait on or off in each individual timeline.


On a K-Frame, am I missing something?  I no longer see the option for shaped video in the Keyer menu, which is where I would turn on the shaped video setting normally (as this would make it timeline-dependant).  Instead, I can only do it in the ENG Setup, which of course does me no good since that setting is universal, and some wipes in the NBC look require shaped video while others don't (and look terrible if you turn it on).

If anyone knows where this function moved, or if it's just gone, please let me know, thanks.

Hi Eric, you will be pleased to hear the ability to defeat the unshapers is still there. In the menu it is called "Additive Key" and on the panel inside the multi-function module it is called "Add" from memory. If you use "Additive Key" there is an option which is called "Super Add" which really does punch the key.
